Conference Support for GECCO

EIA-0314012爱达荷州詹姆斯·福斯特大学题目：会议对GECCO项目摘要的支持本提案请求资金支持和鼓励学生参加将于2003年7月12-16日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的遗传和进化计算会议(GECCO)。我们的总体目标是：1.鼓励和支持学生参加2003年GECCO，以代表人数不足的群体为目标，包括本科生和毕业生2。鼓励本科生从事基因和进化计算方面的研究生研究3。鼓励学生从事研究或使用基因和进化计算的学术或工业职业这一资助机会将在所有会议广告中宣传。这将包括物理邮件、电子邮件广播、列表智力优势：这项提议将通过帮助学生参加一个重要的国际会议来介绍他们的工作、参加辅导和其他活动以及建立合作，来加强研究必然性计算的开发和传播。我们支持学生的主要目标是来自代表不足的群体的学生，他们提出了同行评议工作--具体地说，就是那些已经做出科学贡献的学生。进化计算仍然被认为是一种实验和创新的方法，因此这是对NSF/EIA的使命的回应。它还受到生物的启发，在GECCO 2003上的活动，特别是研讨会、教程和其中一个技术轨道，将特别强调生物信息学问题的应用，因此这也是对NSF/DBI使命的响应。更广泛的影响：该提案资助学生参加一个重要的国际会议，而不是强调代表不足的群体和本科生。我们将把这笔助学金的资金以注册费、旅费和住宿费的形式发放给学生。这笔助学金的所有资金都将拨给学生。学生将由本提案的总主席PI评选获奖。我将优先考虑以下学生：正在提交一篇将在会议记录中发表的论文；自认为来自代表不足的团体；正在参加研讨会；是本科生

EIA-0314012James FosterUniversity of IdahoTitle: Conference Support for GECCOProject SummaryThis proposal requests funds to support and encourage student participation in the Genetic andEvolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO), to be held 12-16 July 2003 in Chicago,Illinois. Our overall objectives are:1. Encourage and support student participation at GECCO 2003, targetingunderrepresented groups and including both undergraduates and graduates2. Encourage undergraduates to pursue graduate research in genetic and evolutionarycomputation3. Encourage students to pursue academic or industrial careers that research or use geneticand evolutionary computationThis funding opportunity will be advertised with all conference advertising. This will includephysical mailings, email broadcasts, listsereIntellectual merit: this proposal will enhance development and dissemination of research inevolutionary computation by helping students attend a major international meeting to presenttheir work, attend tutorials and other events, and establish collaborations. Our primary target forstudent support is students from underrepresented groups that are presenting peer reviewedwork-specifically, those who are already making a scientific contribution. Evolutionarycomputation is still considered an experimental and innovative approach, so this is responsive tothe mission of NSF/EIA. It is also biologically inspired, and events at GECCO 2003, particularlyworkshop, tutorials, and one of the technical tracks, will specifically emphasize applications tobioinformatics problems, so this is responsive to the mission of NSF/DBI as well.Broader impact: this proposal funds student participation at a major international meeting, withan emphasis on underrepresented groups and undergraduates. We will disburse the funds fromthis grant to students in the form of registration fees, travel, and housing awards. All funds fromthis grant will go to students. Students will be selected for awards by the general chair, the PI ofthis proposal. I will give precedence to students who: are presenting a paper that will bepublished in the conference proceedings; are self-identified as being from underrepresentedgroups; are participating in workshops; are undergraduates
