Conference Support for GECCO

EIA-0314012詹姆斯福斯特莎士比亚大学标题：会议支持GECCO项目摘要该提案要求资金支持和鼓励学生参加遗传和进化计算会议（GECCO），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的研究生研究3。鼓励学生从事研究或使用遗传学和进化计算的学术或工业职业，此资助机会将与所有会议广告一起宣传。这将包括物理邮件，电子邮件广播，列表智力价值：这个建议将通过帮助学生参加一个主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，以促进进化计算研究的发展和传播。我们的学生支持的主要目标是那些来自代表性不足的群体的学生，他们正在展示同行评审的作品，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的使命的响应。它也是生物学的启发，在GECCO 2003年的活动，特别是研讨会，教程，和技术轨道之一，将特别强调应用到生物信息学的问题，所以这是响应的使命的NSF/DBI以及。更广泛的影响：这个建议资金的学生参与一个主要的国际会议，比强调代表性不足的群体和本科生。我们将以注册费、旅行和住房奖励的形式将这笔助学金中的资金发放给学生。这笔补助金的所有资金都将用于学生。学生将被选为奖由总主席，PI的这一建议。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;自认为来自代表性不足的群体;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
