Symposium JJ "Combinatorial and Artificial Intelligence Methods in Materials Science II" held at the Materials Research Society (MRS); Boston, MA; December 1-5, 2003

材料研究学会关于材料科学中的组合和人工智能方法的研讨会将于2003年12月1日至5日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。 会议的目标是促进广泛的研究人员之间的多学科互动和信息交流，包括在组合和高通量材料科学的广泛领域的优先领域工作的研究生，博士后学者和初级教师。美国国家科学基金会的资金将专门用于抵消与参加研讨会有关的费用美国参与者，特别是研究生，博士后学者，初级教师和选定的全体发言人在这一新的材料研究领域。材料研究界继续对重要的技术领域产生直接影响，这些技术领域通过设计，合成和应用新材料对推进社会至关重要。这些领域包括基础科学方面以及组合材料科学的高级应用，自动化的人工智能需求，数据挖掘和知识发现。由于这些技术领域对工业来说具有非常高的优先级，在这些多学科领域接受教育和培训的学生在就业市场上竞争非常激烈，并继续以许多重要方式为全球经济做出贡献。*

The Materials Research Society Symposium on Combinatorial and Artificial Intelligence Methods in Materials Science II will be held in Boston, MA December 1-5, 2003. The goal of the conference is to facilitate multidisciplinary interactions and information exchange within a broad spectrum of researchers, to include graduate students, post doctoral scholars and junior faculty working in priority areas of the broad field of combinatorial and high throughput materials science. The NSF funds will be used exclusively to offset the expenses associated with attending the symposium for U.S. participants, specifically graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, junior faculty and selected plenary speakers in this new area of materials research. %%% The materials research community continues to have a direct impact on important technological areas that are crucial to advancing society through the design, synthesis and application new materials. Such areas include the fundamental scientific aspects as well as advanced applications of combinatorial materials science, artificial intelligence needs for automation, data mining and knowledge discovery. Since these technical areas are of very high priority to industry, students educated and trained in these multidisciplinary areas compete very well in the job market and go on to contribute in many significant ways to the global economy.***
