Student Travel Fellowships: 2012 Reasoning Web Summer School and the Web Reasoning and Rule Systems Conference

该项目支持研究生参加将于2012年9月10日至12日和2012年9月3日至8日分别在奥地利维也纳举行的第六届网络推理和规则系统国际会议（RR 2012）会议和推理网络暑期学校。具体而言，该项目提供资金，以支付在美国机构就读博士课程的学生的旅行费用，这些学生由于经济原因可能无法参加会议或暑期学校。学生旅行奖学金的获得者将参加推理网络暑期学校，旨在向研究生介绍当前的研究课题和网络推理的最新进展，随后是RR 2012会议，其中包括一个科学的会谈计划和一个博士联盟，为学生提供一个场地，一个讨论和接受指导，从一些领先的研究人员在语义网和语义技术。该项目提供了研究和教育的自然整合，并有助于培养新一代语义技术研究人员，这不仅是计算机科学而且是许多依赖于网络上知识表示和推理进步的应用领域，信息检索、电子科学、电子商务、电子政务、电子卫生等等。关于RR 2012会议和推理网络暑期学校的更多信息可以在http://www.rr-conference.org/RR2012/上找到。

The project supports graduate student participation in the Sixth International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR 2012) Conference and the Reasoning Web Summer School to be held in Vienna, Austria during September 10-12, 2012 and September 3-8, 2012 respectively, in Vienna, Austria. Specifically, the project provides funds to defray the cost of travel for students enrolled in doctoral programs at US institutions who might not otherwise be able to attend the conference or the summer school because of financial reasons. The recipients of student travel fellowships will attend and the Reasoning Web Summer School designed to introduce graduate students to current research topics and recent advances in web reasoning followed by the RR 2012 conference which includes a scientific program of talks and a doctoral consortium that provides a venue for the students to have one-on-one discussions and receive mentoring from some of the leading researchers in semantic web and semantic technologies. The project offers natural integration of research and education and contributes to the training of a new generation of researchers in semantic technologies, an area of growing importance and impact in not only Computer Science but also many application domains that rely on advances in knowledge representation and reasoning on the web e.g., information retrieval, e-science, e-commerce, e-government, e-health, among others.
