Student Support for the 17th International Semantic Web Conference 2018 (ISWC 2018)

该奖项支持13名美国学生参加2018年10月8日至12日在加利福尼亚州蒙特利举行的第17届国际语义网会议(ISWC 2018)。ISWC是对语义网和链接数据社区的所有方面进行最先进研究的主要国际论坛。被资助的学生将参加会议，讨论和传播他们的工作。他们还将有机会与未来的国家和国际科学合作者以及高级研究人员和从业人员互动。学生将从博士联盟中受益-这是一个全天的活动，学生可以从社区高级成员那里获得对他们工作的批评和鼓舞人心的反馈。该项目还包括职业指导会议，来自学术界和产业界的经验丰富的社区成员将在非正式环境中回答问题。被选中的学生将组成一个多样化的小组，以扩大对计算机科学的参与。国际语义网会议现已进入第17个年头，是一个跨学科会议，包括：数据管理、自然语言处理、知识表示和推理、本体论和本体论语言、语义网工程、关联数据、用户界面和应用程序。会议通常有数百人参加。除了主要的技术路线，会议还包括各种活动，为不同机构、处于研究生涯不同阶段的研究人员以及对语义网研究的许多不同方面感兴趣的研究人员提供更深层次的互动机会。2018年ISWCWCWeb站点(http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org)提供了有关会议的更多信息。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides support 13 U.S.-based students to participate in the 17th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2018), held in Monterey, California from October 8 to 12, 2018. ISWC is the premier international forum for state-of-the-art research on all aspects of the Semantic Web and Linked Data Community. The supported students will attend the conference, discuss and disseminate their work. They will also have an opportunity to interact with future national and international scientific collaborators and senior researchers and practitioners. Students will benefit from the Doctoral Consortium - a full day event where students can get critical, but encouraging, feedback on their work from senior members of the community. The program also includes a career mentoring meeting, where experienced members of the community from both academia and industry answer questions in an informal setting. The selected students will form a diverse group in order to broaden participation in computer science.The International Semantic Web Conference, now in its 17th year, is an interdisciplinary conference that includes work on: Data Management, Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Ontologies and Ontology Languages, Semantic Web Engineering, Linked Data, User Interfaces and Applications. The conference regularly includes several hundred attendees. In addition to the main technical tracks, the conference includes a variety of events that provide opportunities for deeper interaction amongst researchers at different institutions, at different stages of their research careers, and researchers who are interested in many different aspects of Semantic Web Research. The ISWC 2018 web site (http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org) provides additional information on the conference.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
