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

第八届国际语义网会议（ISWC）于2009年10月25日至29日在弗吉尼亚州北部举行，是展示语义网各方面最新研究成果和技术创新的主要国际论坛。这种学生旅行支持使想要成为语义网研究社区一部分的学生能够参加 ISWC 2009。特别是，ISWC 博士联盟为博士生创造了一个机会来测试他们的研究想法，展示他们当前的进展和未来计划，并接受与他们未来工作和职业前景相关的建设性批评和见解。这预计将成为研究生职业生涯中的重大事件。在选择 ISWC 2009 旅行支持申请时，优先考虑被选中参加博士联盟的学生，其次是会议接受的论文第一作者的学生，其次是会议或相关研讨会论文的其他作者的学生，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 (http://iswc2009.semanticweb.org) 上找到。

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).
