Conference: Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SoCS) 2023

该补助金支持选择参加博士生导师联盟（DMC）的学生在组合搜索（SOCS 2023）第十六届研讨会正在布拉格，捷克共和国，2023年7月14日至16日举行的学生旅行。 这是在一个完全国际化的研究社区的启发式和组合搜索研究人员的首要国际研讨会。 该联盟致力于博士生在教育的各个阶段的研究和职业发展。DMC的中心活动包括让学生有机会与同龄人展示和讨论他们的工作，与高级研究人员互动，以获得博士学位的建议。研究，小组活动，以及与国际研究界互动的巨大机会，这可能导致未来的合作活动。赞助学生前往SOCS传达了DMC计划之外的许多好处。赞助的学生有充分的机会获得一个完善的计划，涵盖了这个社区的各种研究领域。这是一个机会，让学生参与讨论与来自世界各地的科学家，并探索新的研究方向和课题。SOCS是一个国际研讨会，将在继续参与启发式和组合搜索的学生的研究生涯中占据突出地位。学生们从这个更广泛的场所的技术思想交流中获得宝贵的研究见解。在这个过程中，他们与来自世界各地的潜在合作者建立了宝贵的联系。随着智能软件和嵌入式系统变得越来越普遍，很明显，来自这一群体的进步将继续在几乎任何可以想象的领域产生重大影响，包括健康和福祉，电子商务，该奖项反映了NSF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进行评估，被认为值得支持的搜索.

This grant supports student travel for select students participating in the Doctoral Mentoring Consortium (DMC) at the Sixteenth Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SOCS 2023) being held in Prague, Czech Republic, July 14-16, 2023. This is the premier international workshop for researchers in heuristic and combinatorial search across a fully international research community. This consortium is oriented on research and career development for PhD students at every stage of their education. The central activities for the DMC include opportunities for students to present and discuss their work with their peers, interact with senior researchers for advice on Ph.D. research, small group activities, and a great opportunities for interactions with the international research community, which might lead to future collaborative activity. Sponsoring student travel to SOCS conveys many benefits beyond the DMC program. The sponsored students have full access to a well-developed program covering a diverse range of research areas in this community. This is an opportunity for students to engage in discussion with scientists from around the world and to explore new research directions and topics. SOCS is an international symposium that will figure prominently in the research careers of students who remain involved in heuristic and combinatorial search. Students gain valuable research insights from the exchange of technical ideas in this broader venue. In the process, they make valuable connections with potential collaborators from around the world. As intelligent software and embodies systems become more prevalent, it is clear that advances derived from this community will continue to have significant impact in virtually any domain imaginable, including such national priorities as health and well-being, e-commerce, and national defense.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.
