Doctoral Mentoring Consortium at the International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems

该项目支持美国博士生研究人员参加有关自主代理和多代理系统的首屈一指的国际会议，并支持他们参加与此相关的博士生指导联盟。第十一届国际自主代理和多代理系统联席会议(AAMAS 2012)将于2012年6月4日至8日在西班牙巴伦西亚举行。所有获得津贴的学生都将参加博士导师联盟，在该联盟中，他们将向其他学生研究人员和经验丰富的研究人员展示他们的研究成果，并从一群受邀的资深研究人员那里获得深入的反馈。旅行津贴将通过申请程序获得，包括提交两页的扩展论文摘要，一页的个人研究陈述，一份简短的简历，以及论文导师的推荐。在选择给予津贴的学生时，委员会将考虑可供他们参加会议的资源、他们参与国际研究的机会以及他们参与会议的程度(例如，论文、海报、研讨会报告)；它还将考虑潜在参与者的多样性。这些旅行津贴将允许被选中的学生展示他们的研究成果，并参与有价值的讨论，这些讨论可能会塑造这个至关重要的领域的未来。AAMAS的技术计划与一系列研讨会、教程和其他活动相辅相成。在AAMAS上，在技术和其他项目中通常提出的主题的广泛的多样性和重要性，为学生提供了分享、交流和相互学习的机会。

This project supports the travel of U.S. doctoral student researchers to the premier international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems and their participation in the Doctoral Mentoring Consortium held in conjunction with it. The Eleventh International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS 2012) will be held in Valencia, Spain, June 4-8, 2012. All students awarded stipends will participate in a Doctoral Mentoring Consortium in which they will present their research to other student researchers as well as experienced researchers and receive in-depth feedback from a group of invited senior researchers. Travel stipends will be awarded through an application process that includes submission of a two-page extended thesis abstract, a one-page personal research statement, a short CV, and a recommendation from the thesis advisor. In selecting students to be given stipends, the committee will consider resources available to them to attend the conference, their exposure to international research, and their level of participation in the conference (e.g., paper, poster, workshop presentation); it will also consider the diversity of the potential participants. The travel stipends will allow the selected students to present their research results and participate in valuable discussions that will likely shape the future of this critically important field. The AAMAS technical program is complemented with an array of workshops, tutorials, and other events. The wide variety and significance of the topics typically presented at AAMAS, in the technical and other programs, provide opportunities for students to share, exchange, and learn from each other.
