Student Support and Mentorship Program for CPAIOR 2022

该助学金支持学生注册参加将于2022年6月20日至23日在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶举行的第19届约束规划、人工智能和运筹学集成国际会议（CPAIOR）的学生支持和指导计划。这是一个重要的、高度跨学科的国际会议，汇集了来自三个不同社区的研究人员来交流思想。学生指导计划是面向研究和职业发展的学生谁是活跃在这些社区。本次会议的核心活动包括教授技能的大师班，为学生提供与同龄人展示和讨论他们的工作的机会，以及与一组确定的高级研究人员进行互动，以获得博士研究的建议。此外，学生将有机会获得邀请的演讲和论文报告。学生选拔过程强调对最需要的学生的支持，包括那些缺乏其他支持手段的学生。这就增加了吸引那些由于缺乏习惯或资源而没有参加这次会议的参与者的可能性。对于那些规模较小的机构和那些人工智能项目不太发达的机构来说尤其如此。这个活动为学生提供了宝贵的机会，让他们在研究的关键时刻接触到外界对他们工作的看法，并使他们能够探索自己的职业目标。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 registration for select students participating in the student support and mentoring program at The Nineteenth International Conference on the Integration of Constraint Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research (CPAIOR) that will be held in Los Angeles, California, June 20-23, 2022. This is the premier, highly-interdisciplinary, international conference that brings together researchers from three distinct communities to exchange ideas. The student mentoring program is oriented on research and career development for students who are active within these communities.The central activities of this conference include a master class to teach skills, opportunities for students to present and discuss their work with their peers, and interaction with an identified group of senior researchers for advice on Ph.D. research. In addition, students will have access to invited talks and paper presentations. The student selection process emphasizes support to students who most need it, including those who lack other means of support. This raises the potential to bring in participants who might not have attended this conference due to lack of habit or resources. This is especially true for those at smaller institutions and those which have less developed AI programs. This event provides students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their research and enables them to explore their career objectives.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.
