IRES: U.S.-France Cooperative Research in Engineering Innovative Software Systems with Applications to Maritime Transportation Logistics

0729792 Ramaswamy这个国际学生研究经验项目将支持美国本科生从阿肯色州小石城大学（UALR）谁将在法国国家科学研究所鲁昂（INSA）进行研究。 美国团队将与Roger Goglu领导的INSA-Rouen的信息和系统实验室合作。该提案将在三年内每年资助八名美国本科生在鲁昂度过六周。学生将研究应用于海上运输物流的软件系统。 这些系统将通过强调多学科研究来模拟现实世界的应用，以将特定学科的理论研究问题与现实世界的实践联系起来。学生将参加参观前的活动，如讨论课程，他们将制定研究问题，确定他们需要回答这些问题的具体资源，并开发批判性学习和理解的主动学习技术。 在对INSA进行研究访问后，学生将向UALR的同行介绍他们的研究项目，并将他们的结果汇编成科学论文，以便适当传播。UALR的教职员工计划访问鲁昂，以加强联系并促进合作研究项目：一名教职员工将在旅行开始时陪同学生，以确保他们适应新环境;另一个将接近他们的研究活动的尾声。这个项目是合作的，由国际科学与工程办公室和计算机与信息科学与工程局资助。

0729792RamaswamyThis International Research Experiences for Students project will support U.S. undergraduate students from the University of Arkansas Little Rock (UALR) who will conduct research at the Institut National de Sciences Appliquees de Rouen (INSA) in France. The U.S. team will partner with The Laboratoire d'Informatique, de Traitement de l'Information et des Systemes laboratory at INSA-Rouen directed by Roger Goglu. The proposal will fund eight U.S. undergraduate students per year to spend six weeks in Rouen over a three-year-period. Students will research software systems with applications to maritime transportation logistics. These systems will resemble real-world applications by stressing on a multi-disciplinary research to bridge discipline-specific theoretical research issues with real-world practice. Students will take part in pre-visit activities, such as a discussion course where they will formulate research questions, identify specific resources they will need to answer those questions, and develop active learning techniques for critical learning and comprehension. After the research visit to INSA, the students will present their research project to their peers at UALR and compile their results into a scientific paper for appropriate dissemination. Faculty members from UALR plan to visit Rouen to strengthen ties and facilitate collaborative research projects: one faculty member will go with the students during the beginning of the trip to ensure their orientation and adjustment to the new environment; the other will go towards the end of their research activities.This project is co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering.
