Workshop and Conference Travel: 2018 Winter Simulation Conference; Gothenburg, Sweden; December 9-12, 2018

该奖项的目的是支持出席博士。2018年博士生冬季模拟会议和冬季模拟会议。冬季模拟会议是模拟领域的领先国际会议，受到来自世界各地的研究人员的广泛参与。该奖项将支持研究生的参与，他们将成为模拟社区的下一代领导者。 参与国际科学讨论论坛是建立一支成熟的科学研究队伍的重要机制，该奖项将使新兴的美国学者与来自欧洲和其他地方的同行和高级研究人员进行互动。 座谈会和会议将于2018年12月9日至12日在瑞典哥德堡的瑞典展览和会议中心举行。学术讨论会由四位领先的模拟研究人员组织，为与会者提供了展示他们的研究并与学术界和工业界高级研究人员互动的机会。 研讨会的组织者将包括尽可能广泛的高素质博士群体。学生的支持，并将特别确定来自代表性不足的STEM团体和非研究1机构的候选人。 该研讨会将通过主要的专业协会和名单服务，如运筹学和管理科学研究所（INFORMS），IEFac.list，模拟社会讨论委员会和冬季模拟会议邮件列表，得到广泛的推广。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得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的支持。

The objective of this award is to support the attendance of Ph.D. students at the 2018 Ph.D. Colloquium and Winter Simulation Conference. The Winter Simulation Conference is a leading international conference in the field of simulation and is widely attended by researchers from all over the world. This award will support the participation of graduate students who will become the next generation of leaders in the simulation community. Participation in international scientific discussion forums is an important mechanism in building a mature workforce in scientific research, and this award will enable interaction of emerging U.S. scholars with their counterparts and senior researchers from Europe and elsewhere. The Colloquium and Conference will be held at the Swedish Exhibition and Congress Center in Gothenburg, Sweden, from December 9-12, 2018. The Colloquium is organized by four leading simulation researchers and provides attendees the opportunity to present their research and to interact with senior researchers from both academia and industry. Workshop organizers will include the broadest possible group of highly qualified Ph.D. students for support and will particularly identify candidates from underrepresented STEM groups and from non-Research 1 institutions. The workshop will be broadly promoted through major professional societies and list serves, such as the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), the IEFac.list, the Simulation Society Discussion Board, and the Winter Simulation Conference mailing list.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.
