2001 SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium to be held August 4-10, 2001,in Settle,Washington.

研讨会：2001 SIGART / AAAI博士联盟这是支持第六届SIGART / AAAI博士联盟的标准奖项，将于8月4日至10日在西雅图举行的第17届国际人工智能联合会议（IJCAI'01）期间作为研讨会举行。博士联盟将为一组博士生提供一个独特的机会，与一组成熟的研究人员一起讨论和探索他们的研究兴趣和职业目标。这次活动的精神与去年由美国国家科学基金会资助的那次活动类似，并再次吸引了不同群体的学生参与者，他们反映了人工智能领域广泛的主题领域和方法，他们已经确定了论文方向，但仍有重要的研究工作要做。选择是基于提交包的清晰度和完整性，研究阶段，顾问的信，以及其他有希望的证据，如已发表的论文或技术报告；14名参加者的姓名和所属单位的完整名单可在http://www.acm.org/sigart/DCparticipants.html找到。与会者的演讲摘要将发表在该联盟后续出版的SIGART“Intelligence”杂志上。今年对NSF支持的请求比去年更高，因为微软公司这次选择不共同赞助这次活动。博士联盟的联合主席是马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校的PI和Marie desJardins；组委会成员还包括匹兹堡大学的詹尼斯·m·韦博；玛丽·p·哈珀，普渡大学；Vibhu O. Mittal， Just Research和CMU；以及达尔豪斯大学的Evangelos Milios。本次为期两天的活动的小组成员包括：北卡罗莱纳州立大学的Robert St. Amant；玛丽亚·吉尼，明尼苏达大学；Craig Knoblock, ISI &amp； USC；德国亚琛工业大学Gerhard Lakemeyer；达尔豪斯大学的Evangelos Milios；马萨诸塞州大学阿默斯特分校的Shlomo Zilberstein；斯图尔特·夏皮罗，纽约州立大学布法罗分校；纽约大学福斯特教务长；北卡罗来纳大学阿什维尔分校的丽贝卡·布鲁斯。

WORKSHOP: 2001 SIGART / AAAI Doctoral ConsortiumThis is a standard award to support the 6th SIGART / AAAI Doctoral Consortium, to be held as a workshop during the 17th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI'01), August 4-10 in Seattle. The Doctoral Consortium will provide a unique opportunity for a group of PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives together with a panel of established researchers. The event is similar in spirit to that funded by NSF last year, and has once again attracted a diverse group of student participants who reflect a wide range of topic areas and methodologies within artificial intelligence, and who have settled on their thesis directions but who still have significant research left to do. Selection was based on clarity and completeness of the submission packet, stage of research, advisor's letter, and other evidence of promise such as published papers or technical reports; a complete list of the 14 participants' names and affiliations may be found at http://www.acm.org/sigart/DCparticipants.html. Abstracts of the participants' presentations will be published in the issue of SIGART "Intelligence" that follows the consortium. The request for NSF support is higher this year than last, because Microsoft corporation chose not to cosponsor the event this time. Doctoral Consortium co-chairs are the PI and Marie desJardins, University of Maryland at Baltimore County; the organizing committee also included Janyce M. Wiebe, University of Pittsburgh; Mary P. Harper, Purdue University; Vibhu O. Mittal, Just Research and CMU; and Evangelos Milios, Dalhousie University. Panelists for the 2-day event will include: Robert St. Amant, North Carolina State University; Maria Gini, University of Minnesota; Craig Knoblock, ISI & USC; Gerhard Lakemeyer, Aachen University of Technology; Evangelos Milios, Dalhousie University; Shlomo Zilberstein, University of Massachusetts at Amherst; Stuart Shapiro, SUNY Buffalo; Foster Provost, NYU; and Rebecca Bruce, University of North Carolina at Asheville.
