The IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS) is one of the two premier annual research conferences that covers the breadth of theoretical computer science. It is a conference of very long standing that has continued to played a formative role in the field; it is also at the leading edge of connections made to other fields. This project aims to increase the impact of this conference on students and postdocs, particularly those from under-represented groups, by encouraging and enabling their participation, especially in cases where travel expenses would otherwise preclude their attendance.Concretely, the investigator requests NSF fund to assist students and postdoctoral fellows for attending this year’s Annual FOCS conference, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Mathematical Foundations of Computing (TCMF). The coming FOCS will take place at the Hilton Denver City Center in Denver, Colorado, between February 7-10 2022. As computing becoming ubiquitous, it is crucial to expand the participation of young scholars in cutting-edge research. FOCS has served as one of the most important venues for groundbreaking research in theoretical computer science – and increasingly, as a key ambassador to other areas within and outside computer science. The intellectual merit consists of supporting researchers at early stage of their career to present their work and to enhance their engagements. We anticipate that the resultant discussions will expose the awardees to a broad set of fundamental questions and ideas. We expect the community to benefit in turn, as such junior researchers have contributed substantially to the growth of theoretical computer science over the years. With emphasis on young scholars in need, the broader impact is on supporting under-represented junior researchers in this the stimulating exchanging of ideas, and for the conference attendees to benefit from the attendance of a diverse population. As the tools and techniques from theoretical computer science (such as novel models, algorithms, impossibility results, and unexpected connections in data science and machine learning) are becoming vital to several domains inside and outside computer science, it is anticipated that such broader participation of junior researchers will benefit society at large.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.

关于计算机科学基础（FOCS）的IEEE研讨会是涵盖理论计算机科学广度的之前的两个年度研究会议之一。这是一个漫长的会议，在该领域继续发挥了形成性的作用。它也位于与其他字段建立的连接的前沿。该项目旨在通过鼓励和启用他们的参与来增加这次会议对学生和分组的影响，尤其是代表性不足的群体的影响，尤其是在旅行费用否则将排除出勤率的情况下，调查人员要求NSF基金在本年度的年度委员会上，以协助学生和委员会的计算机进行计算，以协助参加年度委员会的计算机。 （TCMF）。即将到来的焦点将在2022年2月7日至10日之间在科罗拉多州丹佛的希尔顿丹佛市中心举行。随着计算变得无处不在，对于扩大年轻学者参与尖端研究至关重要。 FOCS是理论计算机科学开创性研究的最重要的场所之一，并且越来越多地是计算机科学内外其他领域的关键大使。知识分子的优点包括在职业生涯的早期阶段支持研究人员展示自己的工作并增强他们的参与。我们预计由此产生的讨论将使获奖者面临一系列基本问题和思想。我们希望社区依次受益，因为这些年来的初级研究人员多年来为理论计算机科学的增长做出了重大贡献。着重于有需要的年轻学者，更广泛的影响是支持代表性不足的初级研究人员进行刺激的思想交流，并让会议参与者受益于潜水员人口的出席。由于理论计算机科学的工具和技术（例如新型模型，算法，不可能结果以及数据科学和机器学习的意外联系）对计算机科学内部和外部的几个领域变得至关重要，因此可以预期，初级研究人员的这种更广泛的参与将使社会上的社会受益。 标准。
