Workshop: Support for International Travel of Graduate Students to Agents Conference

这笔资金是为参加将于6月3日至7日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的ACM自主代理国际会议（Agents 2000）的一批美国研究生提供的旅费和住宿费补贴。这是第一次完全致力于代理研究的会议，这是人工智能的一个领域，对万维网和互联网革命的成功至关重要。参加会议将允许不同的研究生群体，他们的研究跨越一系列主题领域和方法，向代理社区展示他们的工作并获得反馈。这些学生将由一个委员会选出，并将为他们计划特别的指导活动，目的是促进与资深研究人员的互动。反过来，这将有助于确定该领域未来的研究方向，并保证代理技术的持续增长和发展。

This is funding to subsidize travel and housing expenses of a select group of US graduate students to attend the ACM International Conference on Autonomous Agents (AGENTS 2000), to be held June 3-7 in Barcelona, Spain. This is the premier conference devoted entirely to agents research, an area of artificial intelligence which is central to the success of the World Wide Web and the Internet revolution. Attending the conference will allow a diverse group of graduate students whose research spans a range of topic areas and methodologies to present their work to and receive feedback from the agents community. The students will be selected by a committee, and special mentoring activities will be planned for them with the goal of fostering interactions with senior researchers. This, in turn, will help set the directions of future research in the field, and guarantee continued growth and development of agents technology.
