REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Distributed Rational Agents

EIA-0139564 Shirazi，Behrooz德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校：本科生在分布式理性代理方面的研究经验德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校(UTA)是德克萨斯州领先的研究型高等教育机构之一。这项建议的目的是为了维持UTAS计算机科学和工程系一个非常成功的NSF REU站点计划。通过这项计划，我们打算继续为才华横溢和合格的上级女性、少数族裔和残疾本科生提供参与分布式Rational代理领域的研究计划的机会。这里的目标是增加学生的教育经验，并吸引合格的本科生攻读计算机科学和工程专业的研究生。学生参与者将在全国范围内招生，但由于UTA的地理位置，我们的目标之一是强调从女性和少数族裔机构以及西南地区缺乏研究设施的机构招收学生。在以前和目前的区域教育联盟场地项目过程中，我们已经与其中一些学校建立了联系，我们打算利用这些联系来优化我们的招聘工作。

EIA-0139564Shirazi, BehroozUniversity of Texas at ArlingtonREU: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Distributed Rational AgentsThe University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) is one of the leading research-oriented institutions of higher education in Texas. The purpose of this proposal is to sustain a highly successful NSF REU site program in UTAs Computer Science and Engineering Department. Through this program, we intend to continue to provide opportunities for highly talented and qualified upper division women, minority, and disabled undergraduate students to participate in research programs in the field of distributed rational agents. The goal here is to augment the students' educational experience and to attract qualified undergraduates to graduate studies in computer science and engineering. The student participants will be recruited nationally, but due to the geographical location of UTA, one of our goals is to emphasize recruitment of students from women and minority institutions as well as institutions lacking research facilities in the southwest region. In the course of previous and current REU site projects we have already established contacts to a number of these schools and we intend to utilize these contacts in order to optimize our recruitment efforts..
