IIS-RI: ICAPS-2012 Doctoral Consortium Travel Awards

该奖项支持来自美国大学的博士生参加将于2012年6月25日至29日在巴西圣保罗举行的第22届自动规划与调度国际会议（ICAPS-12）的博士联盟（旅行、住宿、注册）。博士联盟将由两部分组成：(1)在会议开始前一天举行为期一天的会议，包括邀请讨论研究技能和职业发展、学生演讲和导师领导的焦点小组；(2)在会议期间举行海报会议。博士联盟的目标是为正在进行与人工智能规划和调度相关主题的论文研究的博士生提供一个机会，以展示他们的研究，并从已有的研究人员以及其他学生和会议与会者那里获得反馈。它的目的是让参与者在研究的关键时刻有价值地接触到外部观点，并提供一个探索职业目标的环境。该奖项将支持大约8名美国学生的参与。参与者将通过申请程序进行选择，包括审查提交的材料，包括扩展的论文摘要和简历；评估参与计划对申请人的好处；和参加者的博士研究阶段。旅行津贴将允许被选中的学生展示他们的研究成果，并参与有价值的讨论，这些讨论可能会塑造这一至关重要领域的未来。技术课程是一系列研讨会、教程和其他活动的补充。ICAPS在技术和其他项目中通常提出的主题种类繁多，意义重大，为学生提供了相互分享、交流和学习的机会。

This award supports the participation (travel, lodging, registration) of doctoral students from U.S. universities in the Doctoral Consortium of the 22nd International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS-12) to be held June 25-29, 2012, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Doctoral Consortium will be comprised of two parts: (1) a one-day session the day before the conference begins that will include invited talks on research skills and career development, student presentations, and mentor-led focus groups; and (2) a poster session to be held during the conference. The objective of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide an opportunity for Ph.D. students who are doing dissertation research on topics related to AI Planning and Scheduling to present their research and to receive feedback on it from established researchers as well as other students and conference attendees. It is intended to give participants valuable exposure to outside perspectives at a critical time in their research and to provide a setting in which to explore career objectives. This award will support the participation of approximately 8 U.S.-based students. Participants will be selected through an application process that includes review of submitted materials including an extended dissertation abstract and CV; an assessment of the benefit of participation to the applicant; and the stage of the participant's doctoral research. The travel stipends will allow the selected students to present their research results and participate in valuable discussions that will likely shape the future of this critically important field. The technical program is complemented with an array of workshops, tutorials, and other events. The wide variety and significance of the topics typically presented at ICAPS, in the technical and other programs, provides opportunities for students to share, exchange, and learn from each other.
