Support for NSF Student Poster Session at the 2016 Mixed Integer Programming Workshop; Coral Gables, Florida; 23-26 May 2016

该奖项提供旅行支持，使优化领域的选定学生能够参加2016年混合编程研讨会（MIP 2016），将于2016年5月23日至26日在佛罗里达的珊瑚山墙举行。MIP研讨会每年在北美举行，旨在鼓励年轻研究人员参与整数规划和相关领域。本次研讨会的主要重点是展示年轻的研究人员，并在职业生涯的早期阶段提高有成就的学生的知名度，这对于数学编程中漫长的裁判和出版过程特别有帮助。该研讨会包括一个单一的轨道23邀请会谈，约一半的发言者是初级教师/博士后研究员，以及一个出席学生海报会议。研讨会还为研究生提供了与世界顶级研究人员建立联系的机会。MIP研讨会的一个目标是尽可能降低参加的成本，以鼓励代表性不足的学生和少数民族学生以及初级研究人员的参与。该奖项将有助于实现这一目标。该奖项将鼓励更广泛的学生出席MIP 2016。将有大约25个学生海报在讲习班上提出。所要求的资金将为其中10名发言者提供500美元的差旅费。这些差旅赠款将通过竞争过程授予，因此，接受这些差旅补助将被受助人视为一种荣誉。申请将由项目委员会进行评估。入选的学生将有机会参加会议，并在MIP研讨会的学生海报会议上展示他们的海报。MIP研讨会的学生海报会议是一个伟大的方式，让学生展示他们的工作，以建立研究人员在整数规划。这些会议传统上出席人数很多，并作为建立网络的跳板。学生海报主持人和既定的专业人士（来自行业和学术界）之间的互动将有利于学生的职业生涯。MIP研讨会的海报会议鼓励学生从事高质量的研究方法，并发展有效的写作和沟通技巧。此外，还有一个奖项，由一名学生提出的最佳海报。

This award provides travel support to enable selected students in the field of optimization to attend the 2016 Mixed Integer Programming Workshop (MIP 2016), to be held in Coral Gables, Florida, 23-26 May 2016. The MIP workshop is held annually in North America and is designed to encourage participation of junior researchers in integer programming and related areas. A primary focus of this workshop is to showcase young researchers, and to increase the visibility for accomplished students at an early stage in their career, which is especially helpful given the very long refereeing and publication process in mathematical programming. The workshop consists of a single track of 23 invited talks, with about one half of the speakers being junior faculty/postdoctoral fellows, as well as a well-attended student poster session. The workshop also provides an opportunity for graduate students to network with the world's top researchers. A goal of the MIP workshop is to keep the cost of attending as low as possible to encourage participation of underrepresented and minority students, and junior researchers. This award will help accomplish that goal.The award will encourage broader student attendance at MIP 2016. There will be approximately 25 student posters presented at the workshop. The requested funding would provide $500 in travel funding for 10 of these presenters. These travel grants will be awarded through a competitive process and thus receipt of these travel support will be considered an honor by the recipients. Applications will be evaluated by the program committee. Selected students will have the opportunity to attend the conference and present their poster at the MIP workshop's student poster session. The MIP workshop's student poster session is a great way for students to showcase their work to established researchers in integer programming. These sessions are traditionally well attended and serve as a spring board for networking. The interaction between the student poster presenters and established professionals (from both industry and academia) will benefit students' careers. The MIP workshop's poster session encourages students to engage in high quality research methods and to develop effective writing and communication skills. In addition, there is also an award for the best poster presented by a student.
