Symposium on Combinatorial Search - 2017

这项资助支持学生旅行，选择学生和博士后研究人员参加6月16日至17日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的组合搜索研讨会（soc -2017）。SoCS是一年一度的盛会，汇集了来自人工智能、规划、机器人、约束规划、运筹学、生物信息学和计算机游戏等不同领域的启发式搜索和组合优化绘图的研究人员。该联盟面向已经确定博士课题并刚刚开始独立研究的学生进行研究和职业发展。赞助学生到SoCS的旅行培养了一个来自不同计算机科学领域的研究人员社区，他们既推进了启发式搜索和/或组合优化的最新技术，也在他们的研究中使用了这些工具。参加本次研讨会的学生也更有可能充分利用在本次研讨会之前举行的2017年国际自动化计划与调度会议（ICAPS）的顶级会议，并与之同地。整个活动为学生提供了一个与来自世界各地的科学家进行讨论并探索新的研究方向和主题的机会。

This grant supports student travel for select students and post-doctoral researchers to participate in the Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SoCS-2017) June 16-17 in Pittsburgh, PA. SoCS is an annual event that brings together researchers in heuristic search and combinatorial optimization drawing from diverse areas of artificial intelligence, planning, robotics, constraint programming, operations research, bioinformatics, and computer games. This consortium is oriented on research and career development for students who have identified their PhD topics and are just embarking on that independent research. Sponsoring student travel to SoCS fosters a community of researchers from otherwise diverse areas of computer science to both advance the state of the art in heuristic search and/or combinatorial optimization, and also use these tools in their research. Students participating in this symposium are also more likely to take full advantage of the top-tier conference in the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS) 2017 taking place immediately prior to this symposium, and co-located with it. The entire event provides an opportunity for students to engage in discussion with scientists from around the world and to explore new research directions and topics.
