This award supports international travel for twelve U.S. students and researchers who would not otherwise be able to attend the First AgentLink European Agent Systems Summer School being held in Utrecht, the Netherlands on July 26-30, 1999. AgentLink, Europe's ESPRIT-funded Network of Excellence for agent-based computing, organizes the school (http://www.agentlink.org). It is a world-class event that will bring together internationally recognized researchers in the area of agents and multi-agent systems to present introductory and advanced courses in the theoretical and practical aspects of agent-based computing. The objective of this award is to encourage and enable two groups of U.S. researchers to attend this event: 1) graduate students of outstanding merit who are interested in research in agent systems but have no current funding to enable such participation; and 2) researchers in other related fields who need encouragement to bring their particular expertise to this field and for them to learn about agent-based computing so that they may apply it to their own fields. This travel grant will cover their travel, hotel, registration fees, and some subsistence. The Europeans are giving similar support to their graduate students, i.e., those at European universities who are registered AgentLink members. This travel grant allows a strong and diverse group of US researchers to attend EASS '99 rather than just a small group of elite researchers. Further, because the summer school is in Europe, it provides a unique opportunity for American researchers to have direct contact with their European colleagues.

该奖项为 12 名美国学生和研究人员提供国际旅行资助，否则他们将无法参加 1999 年 7 月 26 日至 30 日在荷兰乌得勒支举行的第一届 AgentLink 欧洲代理系统暑期学校。 AgentLink，欧洲 ESPRIT 资助的网络卓越的基于代理的计算，组织了学校 (http://www.agentlink.org)。这是一个世界级的活动，将汇集代理和多代理系统领域国际公认的研究人员，提供基于代理计算的理论和实践方面的入门和高级课程。该奖项的目的是鼓励并帮助两类美国研究人员参加本次活动：1）对代理系统研究感兴趣但目前没有资金支持的优秀研究生； 2）其他相关领域的研究人员需要鼓励将他们的特殊专业知识带入该领域，并让他们了解基于代理的计算，以便将其应用到自己的领域。这笔旅行补助金将用于支付他们的旅行费、酒店费、注册费和一些生活费。欧洲人也向他们的研究生（即欧洲大学中注册 AgentLink 会员的学生）提供类似的支持。这笔旅行补助金允许强大且多元化的美国研究人员群体参加 EASS '99，而不仅仅是一小群精英研究人员。此外，由于暑期学校在欧洲，它为美国研究人员提供了与欧洲同事直接接触的独特机会。
