Student Support for the 2018 International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS 2018)

该奖学金为参加2018年6月在荷兰代尔夫特举行的自动化计划和调度国际会议（ICAPS 2018）的博士指导联盟（DMC）的选定学生提供旅行支持。这是一个重要的国际会议，为研究人员在自动化规划和调度研究和应用跨完全国际研究社区。这项活动将汇集人工智能领域广泛的研究人员社区，并在这个关键的早期职业阶段支持初级研究人员。这些活动结合起来为学生和有经验的研究人员提供了教育机会，并且在与会者中非常受欢迎。ICAPS是一个重要的国际会议，它将在那些仍然参与计划和调度的学生的研究生涯中发挥重要作用。学生们将在这个更广阔的场地上从技术思想的交流中获得宝贵的研究见解。在这个过程中，他们可能会与来自世界各地的潜在合作者建立有价值的联系。随着智能软件和具体化系统变得越来越普遍，很明显，计划和调度方面的进步将对几乎任何可以想象的领域产生重大影响，包括运输、物流、机器人和遥感。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant supports student travel for select students participating in the Doctoral Mentoring Consortium (DMC) at the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS 2018), to be held in Delft, The Netherlands, June 2018. This is the premier international conference for researchers in automated planning and scheduling research and applications across a fully international research community. This activity will bring together a broad community of researchers in the field of AI, and support junior researchers at this critical early-career stage. These events combine to provide educational opportunities for students and experienced researchers alike, and are extremely popular among conference participants. ICAPS is the major international conference that will figure prominently in the research careers of students who remain involved in planning and scheduling. Students will gain valuable research insights from the exchange of technical ideas in this broader venue. In the process, they are likely to make valuable connections with potential collaborators from around the world. As intelligent software and embodies systems become more prevalent, it is clear that advances in planning and scheduling will have significant impact in virtually any domain imaginable, including transportation, logistics, robotics, and remote sensing.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
