Conference Support for GECCO

题目：GECCO会议支持项目摘要：本提案请求资金支持和鼓励学生参加遗传和进化计算会议（GECCO），该会议将于2003年7月12日至16日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。我们的总体目标是：1。鼓励和支持学生参与GECCO 2003，针对代表性不足的群体，包括本科生和研究生2。鼓励本科生从事遗传和进化计算方面的研究生研究。鼓励学生从事研究或使用遗传和进化计算的学术或工业事业。该资助机会将在所有会议广告中进行宣传。这将包括物理邮件，电子邮件广播，列表智力价值：该提案将通过帮助学生参加一个重要的国际会议来展示他们的工作，参加教程和其他活动，并建立合作，从而加强进化计算研究的发展和传播。我们为学生提供支持的主要目标是来自代表性不足的群体的学生，他们正在发表同行评议的作品，特别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性和创新性的方法，因此这是对NSF/EIA使命的响应。它也受到生物学的启发，GECCO 2003的活动，特别是研讨会，教程和一个技术轨道，将特别强调生物信息学问题的应用，因此这也响应了NSF/DBI的使命。更广泛的影响：该提案资助学生参加一个重要的国际会议，重点关注代表性不足的群体和本科生。我们将把这笔资金以注册费、差旅费和住房奖励的形式发放给学生。这笔补助金的全部资金将发给学生。学生将由总主席，该提案的PI选出奖项。我将优先考虑以下学生：提交的论文将在会议论文集中发表；自认为来自未被充分代表的群体；正在参加讲习班；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
