The student travel grant is open to any graduate student that is enrolled to a US university. An award includes an invitation for those who are not otherwise invited. - How to Apply Applications and support letters should be mailed to dovrolis at cc.gatech.edu. The application deadline is Oct 22, 2007. Applicants will be notified of the decision no later than Oct 28, 2007. An application for a travel award will consist of the student's vita, a letter from the student and a letter from the student's advisor. The letter from the student should indicate why the student believes he or she would benefit from attending the HotNets workshop. The student's letter should include: 1. a brief summary of research interests and accomplishments to date; 2. whether this student has submitted a paper to HotNets'07 (please mention title and co-authors); 3. why attendance at the workshop is important to this student; and 4. whether this student is interested in scribing at the workshop. In addition, the student's advisor should send a letter of recommendation to the same email address, indicating why the advisor believes the student would benefit from attending the conference and confirming that the student is a Ph.D. candidate in good standing. This letter should include: 1. the advisor's view on the suitability of the workshop program material to the student's research area; 2. ways this particular student would benefit from attendance at the workshop; and 3. the advisor's opinion about the strengths and potential contributions of the student. - What the Grant covers Each grant has a maximum amount to be reimbursed. The amount is intended to cover the student's travel (economy airfare), food and lodging for two nights (double occupancy), and registration fee for the workshop. It is the student's responsibility for expenses in excess of the grant amount. ACM HotNets will only reimburse up to the approved amount. Please note that the reimbursement process can take up to 2-3 months. - Decision Criteria The applications will be evaluated by a committee that consists of the HotNets'07 Steering Committee, Program Chairs and the General Chair. A goal of the travel grant program is to encourage participation in the HotNets workshop by students that would normally find it difficult to attend. Criteria will include evidence of a serious interest in networking, as demonstrated by coursework and/or project experience. We encourage participation of women and under-represented minorities.

Over the past four years, it has been my pleasure to serve you to help make the conference an enjoyable experience, and to help the SIG ensure the future of the conference by its financial success, concluding with the first foray into the Asia region in Sigcomm Kyoto. I leave the meeting in the capable hands of Jaudelice Cavalcante de Oliveira (a.k.a. "Jau") of Drexel University, your new Conference Coordinator. I look forward to seeing you next year in Seattle, and wherever the future of Sigcomm leads us...
