REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Distributed Rational Agents

shirazi， behroos德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校reu：分布式理性代理本科生的研究经验德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校（UTA）是德克萨斯州领先的研究型高等教育机构之一。本提案的目的是在UTAs计算机科学与工程系维持一个高度成功的NSF REU站点计划。通过这个项目，我们打算继续为有才华和合格的高年级女性、少数民族和残疾本科生提供参与分布式理性代理领域研究项目的机会。这里的目标是增加学生的教育经验，并吸引合格的本科生到计算机科学和工程的研究生学习。学生参与者将在全国范围内招募，但由于UTA的地理位置，我们的目标之一是强调招募来自西南地区女性和少数民族机构以及缺乏研究设施的机构的学生。在以前和现在的REU网站项目中，我们已经与许多这样的学校建立了联系，我们打算利用这些联系来优化我们的招聘工作。

EIA-0139564Shirazi, BehroozUniversity of Texas at ArlingtonREU: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Distributed Rational AgentsThe University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) is one of the leading research-oriented institutions of higher education in Texas. The purpose of this proposal is to sustain a highly successful NSF REU site program in UTAs Computer Science and Engineering Department. Through this program, we intend to continue to provide opportunities for highly talented and qualified upper division women, minority, and disabled undergraduate students to participate in research programs in the field of distributed rational agents. The goal here is to augment the students' educational experience and to attract qualified undergraduates to graduate studies in computer science and engineering. The student participants will be recruited nationally, but due to the geographical location of UTA, one of our goals is to emphasize recruitment of students from women and minority institutions as well as institutions lacking research facilities in the southwest region. In the course of previous and current REU site projects we have already established contacts to a number of these schools and we intend to utilize these contacts in order to optimize our recruitment efforts..
