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

该奖项提供差旅支持，使优化领域的选定学生能够参加2016年混合整数编程研讨会(MIP 2016)，该研讨会将于2016年5月23-26日在佛罗里达州科勒尔盖布尔斯举行。MIP研讨会每年在北美举行，旨在鼓励初级研究人员参与整数规划和相关领域。这个工作坊的一个主要焦点是展示年轻的研究人员，并在他们职业生涯的早期阶段为有成就的学生增加知名度，这在数学编程中非常长的裁判和发表过程中特别有帮助。研讨会包括23个受邀演讲的单轨，约一半的演讲者是初级教师/博士后研究员，以及一个出席人数众多的学生海报会议。研讨会还为研究生提供了与世界顶尖研究人员建立网络的机会。MIP讲习班的一个目标是将参加的费用保持在尽可能低的水平，以鼓励代表不足的少数族裔学生和初级研究人员参加。这一奖项将有助于实现这一目标。该奖项将鼓励更多的学生参加MIP 2016。研讨会上将展出大约25张学生海报。请拨的经费将为其中10名演讲人提供500美元的旅费。这些旅行补助金将通过竞争程序发放，因此接受这些旅行支助将被接受者视为一种荣誉。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工作坊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很好的方式，让学生向整数规划领域的知名研究人员展示他们的工作。传统上，这些会议的出席人数很多，是建立网络的跳板。学生海报主持人和知名专业人士(来自行业和学术界)之间的互动将对学生的职业生涯有利。MIP研讨会的海报课程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能。此外，还有学生颁发的最佳海报奖。

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.
