Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2024 ACM SIGSIM Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation (PADS)

建模和仿真在从大型国家实验室到工业应用的各种环境中发挥着关键作用。高级离散仿真原理年会（PADS）是ACM仿真与建模特别兴趣小组（SIGSIM）的旗舰会议。与NSF的使命一致，本次会议作为传播研究，促进研究人员之间的联系，培养下一代学者的重要平台。为了支持劳动力培训和科学多样化的国家举措，该奖项专门帮助美国研究生参加2024年6月在亚特兰大举行的ACM SIGSIM PADS会议，重点关注代表性不足的群体。被选中的学生将获得机会，增强他们的职业道路，并为推进建模和仿真的理论和应用研究提供必要的工具。NSF的资助对建模和仿真领域的新兴研究人员的职业生涯产生了重大影响，在促进该领域的多样性方面发挥了关键作用。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标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Modeling and simulation play pivotal roles in diverse settings, from large-scale national laboratories to industrial applications. The annual conference on Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation (PADS) is the flagship conference of the ACM's Special Interest Group on Simulation and Modeling (SIGSIM). Aligned with NSF's mission, this conference serves as a vital platform for disseminating research, fostering connections among researchers, and training the next generation of scholars. In support of national initiatives for workforce training and diversification in science, this award specifically aids graduate students in the United States attending the ACM SIGSIM PADS conference in Atlanta in June 2024, with a focus on individuals from under-represented groups. The selected students gain opportunities that enhance their career paths and provide essential tools for advancing science in both theoretical and applied research on modeling and simulation. The NSF funding significantly impacts the careers of emerging researchers in modeling and simulation, playing a pivotal role in promoting diversity within the field.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.
