Student Travel Fellowships: 2012 Reasoning Web Summer School and the Web Reasoning and Rule Systems Conference

该项目支持研究生参加将于2012年9月10日至12日和9月3日至8日分别在奥地利维也纳举行的第六届网络推理和规则系统国际会议（RR 2012）和推理网络暑期学校。具体来说，该项目为在美国院校攻读博士学位的学生提供旅费，这些学生可能因经济原因无法参加会议或暑期学校。学生旅行奖学金的获得者将参加推理网络暑期学校，该学校旨在向研究生介绍当前的研究主题和网络推理的最新进展，随后是RR 2012会议，其中包括一个科学讲座计划和一个博士联盟，为学生提供一个一对一讨论的场所，并接受语义网和语义技术领域一些领先研究人员的指导。该项目提供了研究和教育的自然整合，并有助于培训新一代语义技术研究人员，这一领域不仅在计算机科学中越来越重要和影响，而且在许多依赖于网络上知识表示和推理的应用领域，如信息检索，电子科学，电子商务，电子政务，电子卫生等。关于RR2012会议和推理网络暑期学校的更多信息可以在http://www.rr-conference.org/RR2012/上找到。

The project supports graduate student participation in the Sixth International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR 2012) Conference and the Reasoning Web Summer School to be held in Vienna, Austria during September 10-12, 2012 and September 3-8, 2012 respectively, in Vienna, Austria. Specifically, the project provides funds to defray the cost of travel for students enrolled in doctoral programs at US institutions who might not otherwise be able to attend the conference or the summer school because of financial reasons. The recipients of student travel fellowships will attend and the Reasoning Web Summer School designed to introduce graduate students to current research topics and recent advances in web reasoning followed by the RR 2012 conference which includes a scientific program of talks and a doctoral consortium that provides a venue for the students to have one-on-one discussions and receive mentoring from some of the leading researchers in semantic web and semantic technologies. The project offers natural integration of research and education and contributes to the training of a new generation of researchers in semantic technologies, an area of growing importance and impact in not only Computer Science but also many application domains that rely on advances in knowledge representation and reasoning on the web e.g., information retrieval, e-science, e-commerce, e-government, e-health, among others.
