Engaging Doctoral Students in Autonomic and Self-Organizing Computing Systems Research

IEEE IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems（ACSOS）Conference是由IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing（ICAC）和IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems（SASO）合并而成，是自主计算、自适应和自组织领域的重要会议。 该会议将于2020年8月在线举行，汇集了研究人员和行业从业者，以开发自适应，自组织和自动化系统，以解决该领域的许多挑战，例如为本地和全球行为之间的交互开发新的建模技术。 该项目将支持各种各样的学生参加会议上的博士研讨会，深入参与ACSOS研究界。 学生也将有机会参加所有其他会议活动，这些活动正在修改为在线格式。 正如NSF的使命所述，该项目服务于国家利益，促进科学进步，因为它提供了一个论坛，以传播研究成果，连接研究人员，并培养下一代学者。招聘工作将集中在科学和工程领域的各种代表性不足的群体。 对于博士研讨会，学生将参加研究项目的口头和海报介绍，并参加专业培训和职业发展会议，以获得该领域专家的建议。该会议将包括有效和道德地进行研究，撰写和提交研究论文，毕业后在领先的行业和学术界寻找工作，以及实现长期专业和学术目标的提示。NSF提供的资金将对未来一代自主计算研究人员的职业生涯产生重大影响，同时鼓励该领域的多样性。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。

The new IEEE IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) Conference, a merger of The IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC) and the IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO), is a premier conference in the fields of autonomic computing, self-adaptation and self-organization. The conference, to be held online in August 2020, brings together researchers and industry practitioners to develop self-adapting, self-organizing, and automatic systems for addressing a number of challenges in the field, for example developing novel modeling techniques for interactions between local and global behaviors. The project will support a diverse array of students to participate in the doctoral symposium at the conference, to engage deeply with the ACSOS research community. The students will also have the opportunity to participate in all other conference activities, which are being modified to an online format. The project serves the national interest, as stated by NSF's mission, to promote the progress of science as it provides a forum to disseminate research efforts, connect researchers, and train the next generation of scholars.Recruitment efforts will focus on various underrepresented groups in science and engineering. For the doctoral symposium, students will attend oral and poster presentations of research projects, and participate in a professional training and career development session to receive advice from experts in the field. That session will include tips on conducting research efficiently and ethically, writing and presenting research papers, seeking jobs in leading industry and academia after graduation, and realizing long-term professional and academic objectives. The funding provided by NSF will have a significant impact on the careers of the future generation of researchers in autonomic computing, while encouraging diversity in the field.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.
