NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute for FY 2012 in Singapore

这项行动资助斯托尼布鲁克大学的Hau Chan于2012年夏天在新加坡的南洋理工大学开展一个题为“构建基于社会选择的经济激励机制，以确定接近最佳的社会成果”的研究项目。 主持科学家为陈宁，研究项目的学术价值在于促进博弈论与计算机科学之间的互动。这种融合使研究人员能够使用先进的计算机科学技术和算法更有效地解决涉及社会选择的博弈论问题。 该研究旨在发展一种经济制度，在预算限制的情况下，在社会中每个人的投入下，产生接近最佳的社会成果。EAPSI奖学金的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验;介绍各自所在地的科学，科学政策和科学基础设施;以及社会，文化和语言的方向。 这些活动符合NSF的目标，即在科学家，工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保具有全球意识的美国科学工作者。

This action funds Hau Chan of Stony Brook University to conduct a research project, entitled "Constructing social choice-based economic incentive for identifying near-optimal social outcome," during the summer of 2012 at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The host scientist is Ning Chen.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is to facilitate the interaction between game theory and computer science. This fusion allows researchers to solve game-theoretical problems involving social choice using advanced computer science techniques and algorithms more efficiently. The research seeks to develop an economic system, with budget constraints, that produces a near-optimal social outcome given the input of each individual in society. Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.
