Travel Support for 16th Tri-Annual International Conference on Stochastic Programming (ICSP); Davis, California; 24-28 July 2023

该补助金为博士生和博士后研究人员提供资金，参加2023年7月24日至28日在加州戴维斯举行的第16届三年一度的随机编程国际会议（ICSP）。ICSP是随机编程学会的首要活动，这是数学优化学会的一个技术会议，汇集了研究人员，学生和在不确定性下进行决策的从业者。受资助的参与者预计将从事数据和决策分析，机器学习和运筹学交叉领域的研究，并将其应用于自主系统，气候适应和网络物理系统。强调新兴技术带来的新挑战，需要新的方法来概念化和建模耦合系统中的决策过程。在使用优化模型规划应对自然灾害时，多种不确定性来源变得很常见。新的研究方向和想法有望在与会者中汇聚。该项目减少了代表性不足的群体参加会议的财务障碍，从而使STEM领域更加多样化和包容性。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。

This grant provides funds for PhD students and post-doctoral researchers to attend the 16th Tri-Annual International Conference on Stochastic Programming (ICSP), in Davis, California, 24-28 July 2023. The ICSP is the premier event of the Stochastic Programming Society, a technical session of the Mathematical Optimization Society that brings together researchers, students, and practitioners who work on decision-making under uncertainty. Funded participants are expected to engage in research at the intersection of data and decision analytics, machine learning, and operations research, with applications to autonomous systems, climate adaptation, and cyber-physical systems. The emphasis on new challenges brought by emerging technologies requires novel ways of conceptualizing and modeling decision processes in coupled systems. Multiple sources of uncertainty become common when using optimization models to plan for responses to natural disasters. New research directions and ideas are expected to converge among the conference participants. This project reduces financial barriers for underrepresented groups to attend the conference and thus makes STEM fields more diverse and inclusive. The conference also provides a networking opportunity for researchers in industry and academic institutions of the US and other countries.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.
