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

该奖项为参加2012年12月9日至12日在德国柏林举行的2012年冬季模拟会议的学生提供资金支持。具体来说，学生将参加博士讨论会（研讨会），然后是技术会议。学生的论文摘要将在WSC2012会刊上发表，该会刊具有广泛的发行量。WSC博士座谈会非常成功地为年轻博士学者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以学生的身份参加了早期的讨论会。这项旅行资助将鼓励美国新兴学者与来自欧洲和其他地区的同行和高级研究人员进行互动，提高参与美国学生的国际意识。pi将与会议组织者合作，确定并尽可能广泛地纳入高素质的博士生群体，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体的博士生。

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.
