NSF Student Travel Grant for the 2017 International Convention on Shape, Solid, Structure & Physical Modeling (S3PM-2017)

这个拟议的项目将支持学生参与S3 PM-2017，这是由ICSI于2017年6月在加州大学伯克利分校主办并共同赞助的形状、实体、结构和物理建模国际会议。这次活动结合了两个享有盛誉的研讨会：SPM，实体和物理建模研讨会(6月19-21日)和SMI，形状建模国际会议(6月21-23日)。SPM是一个年度国际论坛，旨在交流实体建模和加工在设计、分析和制造以及在生物医学、地球物理和其他新兴应用领域的应用方面的最新研究。SMI为传播新的计算技术提供了一个论坛，用于在广泛的应用领域中对形状及其属性的数字表示进行建模和处理。二十年来，这两个会议一直吸引着各自领域的顶尖国际研究人员，提高对形状、固体、结构、材料、属性和行为的设计、建模、表示、处理、分析和可视化的数学和算法原理的知识。该项目将支持来自美国机构的大约20名学生S3 PM参与者的注册、旅行和住宿。学生将学习形状/材料/结构模型的前沿研究，包括制造知识表示方面的进步，CAD中的算法创新，以及用于指定设计和制造服务并与其交互的新界面。它将使他们有机会展示他们的工作，获得国际专家的反馈，听取描述最新成果的演讲，见证活跃的讨论小组，参加世界知名演讲者的主题演讲，并与行业研发领导者建立网络，培训下一代美国劳动力继续引领研究和工程创新。学生选择将优先支持女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生，以支持他们的职业发展。

This proposed project will support student participation in S3PM-2017, the International Convention on Shape, Solid, Structure, and Physical Modeling, which will be hosted and co-sponsored by ICSI at UC Berkeley in June 2017. This event combines two prestigious symposia: SPM, the Solid and Physical Modeling Symposium (June 19-21), and SMI, the Shape Modeling International Conference (June 21-23). SPM is an annual international forum for the exchange of recent research in applications of solid modeling and processing in design, analysis, and manufacturing, as well as in biomedical, geophysical and other emerging application areas. SMI provides a forum for the dissemination of new computational techniques for modeling and processing digital representations of shapes and of their properties across a wide range of application areas. The two conferences have been attracting the top international researchers in their respective fields for two decades, advancing knowledge of mathematical and algorithmic principles for the design, modeling, representation, processing, analysis, and visualization of shapes, solids, structures, materials, properties, and behaviors.The project will support registration, travel, and housing for approximately 20 student S3PM participants from U.S. institutions. Students will learn about cutting edge research in shape/material/structure models, including advances in representations of manufacturing knowledge, algorithmic innovations in CAD, and new interfaces for specifying and interacting with design and manufacturing services. It will give them the opportunity to present their work, obtain feedback from international experts, listen to presentations describing state of the art results, witness lively discussion panels, attend keynote lectures from world renowned speakers, and network with industry R&D leaders, training the next generation of the U.S. workforce to continue to lead in research and engineering innovation. Student selection will prioritize supporting female and underrepresented minority students to support their career development.
