NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization (IPCO)

2019年整数规划与组合优化会议（IPCO）和相关的IPCO暑期学校每年在数学优化学会的主持下举行，数学优化学会是数学优化研究的主要组织。IPCO提供了最新的突破性成果，旨在解决在工程、物流、数学和科学领域具有强大影响的困难决策和优化问题。这是一次有竞争性的裁判会议。该奖项支持学生旅行，出席和参与，包括代表性不足的群体的成员。以这种方式支持学生对于组合优化社区的长期成功至关重要。IPCO 2019将于2019年5月22日至24日在密歇根州安娜堡的密歇根大学举行。面向研究生的IPCO暑期学校将于2019年5月20日至21日在密歇根大学举行。IPCO暑期学校的主题是：差异与组合优化、组合优化的半定规划、多项式优化中的平方和。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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2019 Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization(IPCO) and the associated IPCO Summer School runs annually under the auspices of the Mathematical Optimization Society, the leading organization for research in mathematical optimization. IPCO presents the latest ground-breaking results aimed at the solution of difficult decision and optimization problems that have strong ramifications throughout engineering, logistics, mathematics and science. It is a competitive refereed conference. This award supports student travel, attendance and participation, including by members of under-represented groups. Supporting students in this fashion is vital for the long-term success of the combinatorial-optimization community. IPCO 2019 will be held at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 22-24, 2019. The IPCO Summer School, aimed at graduate students, will be at the University of Michigan, May 20-21, 2019. The subject of the IPCO Summer School are: Discrepancy and Combinatorial Optimization, Semidefinite Programming for Combinatorial Optimization, and Sums of Squares in Polynomial Optimization.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.
