Student Travel and Activities Support for 2017 International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2017)

该奖项将支持大约20个美国-第16届国际语义网会议（ISWC 2017）的研究生。 该会议将于2017年10月21日至25日在奥地利维也纳举行，是关于语义网各个方面最先进研究的主要国际论坛，并为下一代万维网培养新的方向。 学生支持帮助支付美国学生的旅行费用，使他们能够参加会议。 这使学生能够满足关键成员的语义Web研究社区，它给他们的机会来传播他们的工作，它提供了一个场所，让他们与未来的国家和国际科学合作者进行互动。博士生将参加博士联盟-一整天的活动，学生可以得到关键的，但令人鼓舞的，从社区的高级成员对他们的工作反馈。 他们还可以从职业指导午餐中受益，来自学术界和工业界的经验丰富的社区成员在非正式的环境中回答问题。国际语义网会议，现在是第十六个年头，是一个跨学科的会议，包括工作：数据管理，自然语言处理，知识表示和推理，本体和本体语言，语义网工程，关联数据、用户界面和应用程序。 它经常有数百名与会者。 除了主要的技术轨道，会议还包括各种活动，为不同机构或行业的研究人员提供更深入的互动机会，在他们的研究生涯的不同阶段，以及对语义Web研究的许多不同方面感兴趣的研究人员。更多信息可访问ISWC 2017会议网站（http：//iswc2017.semanticweb.org/）。

This award will support about twenty U.S.-based graduate students attending the 16th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2017). The conference, which will be held October 21-25, 2017 in Vienna, Austria, is the premier major international forum for state-of-the-art research on all aspects of the Semantic Web and fostering new directions in the future generation of the World Wide Web. Student support helps cover the travel costs for US students, making it possible for them to attend the conference. This allows students to meet key members the Semantic Web research community, it gives them the opportunity to disseminate their work, and it provides a venue for them to interact with future national and international scientific collaborators. Doctoral students will participate in the Doctoral Consortium - a full day event where students can get critical, but encouraging, feedback on their work from senior members of the community. They can also benefit from the career mentoring lunch, where experienced members of the community from both academia and industry answer questions in an informal setting.The International Semantic Web Conference, which is now in its sixteenth year, is an interdisciplinary conference that includes work on: Data Management, Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Ontologies and Ontology Languages, Semantic Web Engineering, Linked Data, User Interfaces and Applications. It regularly has several hundred attendees. In addition to the main technical tracks, the conference includes a variety of events that provide opportunities for deeper interaction among researchers at different institutions or industries, at different stages of their research careers, and researchers who are interested in many different aspects of Semantic Web Research.
