This award supports student travel for selected participants of the Doctoral Consortium (DC) program at the Seventeenth Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SoCS 2024), scheduled to take place in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, from June 6 to 8, 2024. SoCS is a well-established conference designed specifically for researchers in the area of heuristic search and combinatorial optimization. The DC program of SoCS is designed to support the research and career development of Ph.D. students at all stages of their academic journey. Key activities of the DC program include a mentorship program that pairs students with senior researchers, a number of master classes that cover various interesting research topics in the area, a career-advice talk by a senior researcher that offers research advice to students, as well as both oral and poster presentation opportunities for students to share their research. These activities provide great opportunities for students to engage with established researchers, get feedback on their research, gain advice on career possibilities, and network with peers and international researchers, potentially leading to future collaborations.Heuristic search and combinatorial optimization have been at the core of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the very early days of AI. Research in this area has steadily grown and advanced significantly during the 21st century. For example, search is now a dominant paradigm in planning, robotics, discrete optimization, video games, GPS navigation, autonomous warehouses, and other areas of computer science and operations research. A significant aspect of SoCS is its strong focus on nurturing and supporting students in the field of heuristic search and combinatorial optimization. Supporting student travel to SoCS offers numerous benefits beyond the DC program. Sponsored students will have full access to the main SoCS conference with a well-developed program covering a diverse range of research areas in this community with invited talks, presentations, posters, community meetings, and social activities, providing students with great opportunities to engage in discussion with researchers worldwide and explore new research directions and topics.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.

该奖项支持参加第十七届组合搜索研讨会 (SoCS 2024) 的博士联盟 (DC) 项目选定参与者的学生旅行，该研讨会计划于 2024 年 6 月 6 日至 8 日在加拿大艾伯塔省卡纳纳斯基斯举行。SoCS 是一个成熟的会议，专为启发式搜索和组合优化领域的研究人员而设计。 SoCS的DC项目旨在支持博士生的研究和职业发展。处于学术旅程各个阶段的学生。 DC项目的主要活动包括将学生与高级研究人员配对的导师计划、涵盖该领域各种有趣研究主题的多个大师班、由高级研究人员为学生提供研究建议的职业建议演讲，以及为学生提供口头和海报展示机会分享他们的研究成果。这些活动为学生提供了与知名研究人员互动、获取研究反馈、获得职业可能性建议以及与同行和国际研究人员建立联系的绝佳机会，从而有可能促成未来的合作。从人工智能 (AI) 的早期阶段起，启发式搜索和组合优化就一直是人工智能 (AI) 的核心。该领域的研究在 21 世纪稳步发展并取得显着进展。例如，搜索现在是规划、机器人、离散优化、视频游戏、GPS 导航、自主仓库以及计算机科学和运筹学其他领域的主导范例。 SoCS 的一个重要方面是它非常注重培养和支持启发式搜索和组合优化领域的学生。支持学生前往 SoCS 提供除 DC 计划之外的众多好处。受资助的学生将有机会充分参加主要的 SoCS 会议，该会议的完善计划涵盖了该社区的各个研究领域，包括受邀演讲、演示、海报、社区会议和社交活动，为学生提供了与世界各地的研究人员进行讨论并探索新的研究方向和主题的绝佳机会。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过利用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的评估进行评估，认为值得支持。 影响审查标准。
