III: Travel Fellowships for Students from U.S. Universities to Attend ISWC 2014

语义技术开始在广泛的应用中发挥越来越重要的作用。迫切需要对研究生进行高级培训，以便在这一领域进行研究，并为学术或工业生涯做好准备。参加该领域的主要研究会议是这种培训的一个基本要素。该项目将资助10-15名美国大学学生参加2014年国际语义网会议（ISWC）的旅费，该会议将于2014年10月19日至23日在意大利加尔达河畔举行。该项目的更广泛影响包括：增加了在语义网及相关领域培训和指导美国研究生的机会，扩大了目前在计算机科学，特别是语义网领域代表性不足的群体（妇女和少数民族）学生的参与。ISWC是一个重要的国际会议，它为在语义网和相关领域进行严格的同行评审的研究成果提供了一个展示场所。会议包括两个专门针对研究生的活动：ISWC博士联盟为博士生提供了一个展示他们的工作并接受反馈和指导的机会。ISWC职业指导午餐为学生提供了一个非正式的环境，与社区的高级研究人员讨论有关研究职业的所有问题，并建立长期的指导关系。该项目将促进参与学生的专业发展，不仅让他们接触到最新的研究理念，而且还将与国际顶级研究人员建立联系并获得反馈。欲了解更多信息，请参阅项目网页：http://pascal-hitzler.de/projects/iswc2014.html

Semantic technologies are beginning to play increasingly important roles across a broad range of applications. There is an urgent need for advanced training of graduate students to conduct research in this area and prepare for academic or industrial careers. Participation in premier research conferences in the area is an essential element of such training. This project will provide funds to subsidize the travel expenses of 10-15 students at U.S. universities to attend the 2014 International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) which will be held October 19-23, 2014 in Riva del Garda, Italy. Broader impacts of the project include: Enhanced opportunities for training and mentoring of US-based graduate students in Semantic Web and related areas, broadening the particiation of students from groups (women and minorities) that are currently under-represented in Computer Science in general, and Semantic Web in particular.ISWC is a premier international conference which offers a venue for the presentation of rigorously peer-reviewed research results in Semantic Web and related areas. The conference includes two events specially targeted to graduate students: The ISWC doctoral consortium offers an opportunity for doctoral students to present their work and receive feedback and mentoring. The ISWC Career Mentoring lunch provides an informal setting for students to discuss all issues pertaining to research careers with senior researchers in the community, and to establish long-term mentoring ties. This project will enhance the professional development of the participating students, by not only exposing them to the latest research ideas, but also by establishing connections with and receiving feedback from top international researchers.For further information see the project webpage: http://pascal-hitzler.de/projects/iswc2014.html
