Collaborative Research: Travel Support for Students to Participate in the PhD Colloquium at Winter Simulation Conference 2012, Berlin, Germany, 9-12 December 2012

该奖项用于资助学生参加2012年12月9日至12日在德国柏林举行的冬季模拟会议。具体地说，学生们将参加博士研讨会(研讨会)，然后是技术会议。学生们的工作摘要将在WSC2012会议上发表，该会议有广泛的发行量。WSC博士研讨会非常成功地为进入年轻博士学者领域的初步社会化提供了一个论坛；许多当今领先的模拟研究人员作为学生参加了早期的研讨会。这笔旅行补助金将鼓励美国新兴学者与来自欧洲和其他地方的同行和高级研究人员进行互动，提高参加会议的美国学生的国际意识。PIS将与会议组织者合作，确定并纳入最广泛的高素质博士生群体，特别是那些来自代表不足的群体的学生。

This award provides funding for the support of student travel to the Winter Simulation Conference 2012, Berlin, Germany, 9-12 December 2012. Specifically, the students will be attending the PhD Colloquium (workshop) followed by the technical conference. The abstracts of the students' work will be published in the WSC2012 proceeding, which has wide distribution. The WSC PhD colloquia have been highly successful in providing a forum for the initial socialization into the field of young doctoral scholars; many of today's leading simulation researchers participated as students in earlier colloquia.This travel grant will encourage the interaction of the US emerging scholars with their counterparts and senior researchers from Europe and elsewhere, increasing the international awareness of the participating US students. The PIs will work with the conference organizers to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified PhD students, especially those coming from under-represented groups.
