Qualitative Reasoning Workshop Graduate Student Travel Support

摘要提案0631821标题：“定性推理研讨会研究生差旅资助”项目负责人：Christopher Bailey-KelloggDartmouth学院该奖项为参加将于2006年7月10日至12日在Dartmouth学院举行的第20届定性推理国际会议（QR-06）的研究生提供旅费资助。定性推理是人工智能的一个重要核心领域，涉及知识表示、认知建模、定性仿真、动力系统和任务级推理等领域。它关注的是人工智能、认知科学、工程和科学的结合。会议将举行一场关于二维码研究生学习的专题会议。它将使学生能够从QR的主要研究人员那里获得关于他们工作的反馈，并融入国际QR社区。会议将讨论跨学科研究领域研究生学习的回报和挑战，如定性推理。要解决的主题包括选择适当的研究问题，根据多个领域的标准评估结果，以及在多个场所发表。这些活动将加深研究人员的基础，使研究生在定性推理和跨学科研究的严谨性方面都有知识。

ABSTRACTProposal 0631821Ttitle: "Qualitative Reasoning Workshop Graduate Student Travel Support"PI: Christopher Bailey-KelloggDartmouth CollegeThis award provides funding to help defray travel costs of graduate student participating in the 20th International Conference on Qualitative Reasoning (QR-06) to be held July 10-12, 2006 at Dartmouth College. Qualitative Reasoning is an important core area in Artificial Intelligence and addresses issues in knowledge representation, cognitive modeling, qualitative simulation, dynamical systems, and task-level reasoning. Its concerns are at the interface of AI, Cognitive Science, Engineering and Science. The conference will hold a special session on graduate study in QR. It will be designed to enable students to receive feedback on their work from leading researchers in QR and to become integrated into the international QR community. The session will discuss the rewards and challenges of graduate study in interdisciplinary research areas such as Qualitative Reasoning. Topics to be addressed include selection of appropriate research problems, evaluation of results with respect to the standards of multiple fields, and publication in multiple venues. These activities will deepen the base of researchers by enabling graduate students to become knowledgeable in both qualitative reasoning and the rigors of interdisciplinary research.
