IRES: U.S.-France Cooperative Research in Engineering Innovative Software Systems with Applications to Maritime Transportation Logistics

这个学生国际研究经验项目将支持阿肯色大学小石城分校（UALR）的美国本科生在法国鲁昂国家科学应用研究所（INSA）进行研究。美国团队将与Roger Goglu领导的INSA-Rouen的信息实验室、信息处理实验室和系统实验室合作。该提案将资助八名美国本科生在三年的时间里每年在鲁昂学习六周。学生将研究软件系统在海上运输物流中的应用。这些系统将类似于现实世界的应用，强调多学科研究，将学科特定的理论研究问题与现实世界的实践联系起来。学生将参加参观前的活动，如讨论课程，在那里他们将制定研究问题，确定他们需要回答这些问题的具体资源，并为批判性学习和理解发展积极的学习技巧。在访学结束后，学生将会向同侪展示他们的研究计划，并将研究结果编撰成科学论文，以作适当的传播。UALR的教师计划访问鲁昂，以加强联系并促进合作研究项目：一名教师将在旅行开始时陪同学生，以确保他们的方向和适应新环境；另一笔将用于他们研究活动的结束。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室和计算机与信息科学与工程理事会共同资助。

0729792RamaswamyThis International Research Experiences for Students project will support U.S. undergraduate students from the University of Arkansas Little Rock (UALR) who will conduct research at the Institut National de Sciences Appliquees de Rouen (INSA) in France. The U.S. team will partner with The Laboratoire d'Informatique, de Traitement de l'Information et des Systemes laboratory at INSA-Rouen directed by Roger Goglu. The proposal will fund eight U.S. undergraduate students per year to spend six weeks in Rouen over a three-year-period. Students will research software systems with applications to maritime transportation logistics. These systems will resemble real-world applications by stressing on a multi-disciplinary research to bridge discipline-specific theoretical research issues with real-world practice. Students will take part in pre-visit activities, such as a discussion course where they will formulate research questions, identify specific resources they will need to answer those questions, and develop active learning techniques for critical learning and comprehension. After the research visit to INSA, the students will present their research project to their peers at UALR and compile their results into a scientific paper for appropriate dissemination. Faculty members from UALR plan to visit Rouen to strengthen ties and facilitate collaborative research projects: one faculty member will go with the students during the beginning of the trip to ensure their orientation and adjustment to the new environment; the other will go towards the end of their research activities.This project is co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering.
