2001 SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium to be held August 4-10, 2001,in Settle,Washington.

研讨会：2001 SIGART/AAAI博士联盟这是一个支持第六届SIGART/AAAI博士联盟的标准奖项，该联盟将于8月4日至10日在西雅图举行的第17届国际人工智能联合会议(IJCAI‘01)期间作为研讨会举行。博士联盟将为一群博士生提供一个独特的机会，与一群知名的研究人员一起讨论和探索他们的研究兴趣和职业目标。这场活动在精神上与去年由NSF资助的活动相似，再次吸引了一批不同的学生参与者，他们反映了人工智能领域的广泛主题和方法，他们已经确定了论文方向，但仍有重要的研究要做。选择的依据是提交资料包的清晰度和完整性、研究阶段、顾问信函和其他承诺证据，如发表的论文或技术报告；14名参与者的完整名单可在http://www.acm.org/sigart/DCparticipants.html.上找到与会者的发言摘要将发表在该联盟之后的SIGART“Intelligence”杂志上。今年对NSF支持的请求比去年更多，因为微软公司这次选择不共同主办这次活动。博士联盟的联合主席是巴尔的摩县马里兰大学的Pi和Marie Desjardins；组织委员会还包括匹兹堡大学的Janyce M.Wiebe、普渡大学的Mary P.Harper、Just Research和CMU的Vibhu O.Mittal以及达尔豪西大学的Evangelos Milios。为期两天的活动的小组成员将包括：北卡罗来纳州立大学的罗伯特·圣阿曼特；明尼苏达大学的玛丽亚·基尼；三军情报局和南加州大学的克雷格·诺布洛克；亚琛理工大学的格哈德·拉克迈耶；达尔豪西大学的Evangelos Milios；马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的Shlomo Zilberstein；纽约州立大学布法罗分校的斯图尔特·夏皮罗；纽约大学福斯特·普罗沃斯特；以及北卡罗来纳大学阿什维尔分校的丽贝卡·布鲁斯。

WORKSHOP: 2001 SIGART / AAAI Doctoral ConsortiumThis is a standard award to support the 6th SIGART / AAAI Doctoral Consortium, to be held as a workshop during the 17th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI'01), August 4-10 in Seattle. The Doctoral Consortium will provide a unique opportunity for a group of PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives together with a panel of established researchers. The event is similar in spirit to that funded by NSF last year, and has once again attracted a diverse group of student participants who reflect a wide range of topic areas and methodologies within artificial intelligence, and who have settled on their thesis directions but who still have significant research left to do. Selection was based on clarity and completeness of the submission packet, stage of research, advisor's letter, and other evidence of promise such as published papers or technical reports; a complete list of the 14 participants' names and affiliations may be found at http://www.acm.org/sigart/DCparticipants.html. Abstracts of the participants' presentations will be published in the issue of SIGART "Intelligence" that follows the consortium. The request for NSF support is higher this year than last, because Microsoft corporation chose not to cosponsor the event this time. Doctoral Consortium co-chairs are the PI and Marie desJardins, University of Maryland at Baltimore County; the organizing committee also included Janyce M. Wiebe, University of Pittsburgh; Mary P. Harper, Purdue University; Vibhu O. Mittal, Just Research and CMU; and Evangelos Milios, Dalhousie University. Panelists for the 2-day event will include: Robert St. Amant, North Carolina State University; Maria Gini, University of Minnesota; Craig Knoblock, ISI & USC; Gerhard Lakemeyer, Aachen University of Technology; Evangelos Milios, Dalhousie University; Shlomo Zilberstein, University of Massachusetts at Amherst; Stuart Shapiro, SUNY Buffalo; Foster Provost, NYU; and Rebecca Bruce, University of North Carolina at Asheville.
