NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 Algorithmic Game Theory (AGT) Mentoring Workshop Co-Located with Economics and Computation (EC)

该奖项将支持学生参加2019年6月24日至28日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行的计算机博弈论（AGT）指导研讨会和第20届计算机协会（ACM）经济学和计算会议（EC）。 博弈论是理论计算机科学和经济学的交叉点。 这使得它最适合处理互联网上经济和社会系统的巨大增长所带来的基础问题，因此该领域在过去几十年中一直蓬勃发展。 经济与计算是这一领域的领先会议，主要目的是通过汇集计算机科学家和经济学家来加强这一领域。 调查人员正在组织一个为期一天的AGT辅导讲习班，与EC同地办公。该研讨会将有助于指导和培训在AGT领域从事研究职业的学生。 来自NSF的差旅费将促进参与者参加辅导研讨会和EC，在那里他们将了解当前的研究并与该领域的领导者互动。 该奖项将涵盖约8至10名精心挑选的学生的旅行，住宿和注册费，否则他们很难参加。 旅行奖和研讨会计划的选择标准旨在鼓励代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的参与。该奖项反映了NSF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 award will support students to attend the Algorithmic Game Theory (AGT) Mentoring Workshop and the 20th Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Economics and Computation (EC), June 24 - 28, 2019, in Phoenix, AZ. The field of Algorithmic Game Theory is at the intersection of theoretical computer science and economics. This makes it most suitable to handle foundational issues posed by tremendous growth in economic and social systems on the Internet, and therefore the field has been thriving in the past few decades. Economics and Computation is the leading conference in this area, with the main aim of strengthening the field by bringing together both computer scientists and economists. The investigators are organizing a one-day AGT mentoring workshop to be co-located with EC. The workshop will help to mentor and train students pursuing research careers in the field of AGT. Travel funds from NSF will facilitate participants' attendance at the mentoring workshop and EC, where they will learn about current research and interact with leaders in the field. The award will cover travel, lodging and registration fees for approximately 8 to 10 carefully selected students who otherwise would find it difficult to attend. The selection criteria for the travel award and the workshop program will aim to encourage participation by underrepresented minorities and women.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.
