Travel Support for U.S.-Based Students to Attend 8th International Semantic Web Conference 2009

2009年10月25日至29日在北方弗吉尼亚州举行的第八届国际语义网会议（ISWC）是一个主要的国际论坛，会上展示了语义网各个方面的最新研究成果和技术创新。这项学生旅行支持使希望成为语义Web研究社区一员的学生能够参加ISWC 2009。特别是，ISWC博士联盟为博士生创造了一个机会，以测试他们的研究思路，目前的进展和未来的计划，并收到建设性的批评和见解有关他们未来的工作和职业前景。在选择ISWC 2009旅行支持的申请时，优先考虑被选中参加博士生联盟的学生，其次是在会议上接受的论文的第一作者的学生，其次是在会议或相关研讨会论文上有其他作者的学生，另一个目的是扩大代表性不足的学生对计算机科学的参与。ISWC的详细信息，包括博士研讨会和旅行支持，可以在会议网站上找到（iswc2009.semanticweb.org）。

The 8th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC), held October 25-29, 2009 in Northern Virginia is the major international forum where the latest research results and technical innovations on all aspects of the Semantic Web are presented. This student travel support enables students who want to become part of the Semantic Web research community to participate in ISWC 2009. In particular, the ISWC Doctoral Consortium creates an opportunity for doctoral students to test their research ideas, present their current progress and future plans, and to receive constructive criticism and insights related to their future work and career perspectives. This is expected to be a significant event in the graduate students' careers.In selecting applications for the ISWC 2009 Travel Support, preference is given to students selected to participate in the Doctoral Consortium, followed by students who are first author on a paper accepted at the conference, followed by students who have other authorship on a conference or related workshop paper, with an additional aim to broaden participation in computer science among the underrepresented students. ISWC details, including the Doctoral Symposium and Travel Support, can be found at the conference website (http://iswc2009.semanticweb.org).
