WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium for the International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling & Prediction and Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simula

该奖项支持学生参加2019年社会计算，行为-文化建模和预测以及建模和仿真中的行为表示国际会议（SBP-BRiMS）。SBP-BRiMS会议的主要目标是将来自不同学科的研究人员、系统科学家和领域专家聚集在一起，讨论与计算社会科学、文化和行为建模相关的多学科问题，以发展新的理论和方法来推进我们对社会互动的理解。SBP-BRiMS会议稳步发展，每年约有来自学术界、工业界和政府部门的130-220名与会者参加；随着它的跨学科性，这种工作环境的多样性为来自不同背景的研究人员之间的交叉施肥提供了难得的机会。该提案的目标是通过支持来自STEM中代表性不足和边缘化群体的初级研究人员参与主要会议和会议的博士联盟，进一步增强这种多样性，帮助初级学者获得对他们所提议的研究的深入反馈，并有机会与更广泛的研究社区建立联系，围绕建模行为的计算方法。会议将于2019年7月在乔治华盛顿大学举行。参与者将通过许多渠道招募，包括与SBP-BRiMS研究领域相关的专业邮件列表和由旨在增加未被充分代表的群体参与计算的组织维护的列表。将支持最多15名学生参加博士研讨会和会议，选择标准基于学生工作对该领域的潜在贡献以及会议上的思想多样性，并由会议和博士联盟联合主席管理。被选中的学生将参加一系列活动，包括研究报告、跨学科教程，以及由联邦机构的研究人员和项目人员参与的交叉施肥圆桌会议，这些活动将为他们提供研究培训、专业发展和社区建设机会。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。

This award supports student travel to participate in the 2019 International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling & Prediction and Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simulation (SBP-BRiMS). The primary goal of the SBP-BRiMS conference is to bring together researchers, system scientists, and domain experts from diverse disciplines to discuss multidisciplinary problems related to computational social science and cultural and behavioral modeling, with the goal of developing novel theories and methodologies to advance our understanding of social interactions. The SBP-BRiMS conference has grown steadily, with approximately 130-220 participants per year attending from academia, industry and government sectors; along with its interdisciplinarity, this diversity in work contexts offers a rare opportunity for cross-fertilization between researchers from different backgrounds. This proposal's goal is to further enhance that diversity by supporting the participation of junior researchers from underrepresented and marginalized groups in STEM in both the main conference and the conference's doctoral consortium, help junior scholars get both deep feedback on their proposed research and chances to connect to the broader community of research around computational methods for modeling behavior. The conference will be held at George Washington University in July 2019. Participants will be recruited through a number of channels, including professional mailing lists related to SBP-BRiMS research areas and lists maintained by organizations whose goal is to increase participation of underrepresented groups in computing. Up to 15 students will be supported to attend the doctoral colloquium and conference, with selection criteria based on the potential contributions of students' work to the field and to the diversity of ideas at the conference and administered by the conference and doctoral consortium co-chairs. Selected students will participate in a number of activities, including research presentations, interdisciplinary tutorials, and cross-fertilization round table sessions involving researchers and program staff from federal agencies, that will offer them research training, professional development, and community building opportunities.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.
