This grant supports student travel for select students participating in the Doctoral Mentoring Consortium (DMC) at the Seventeenth International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS), Stockholm, Sweden, July 10-15, 2018. This is the premier international conference for researchers in agents and multi-agent systems (MAS) across a fully international research community. This consortium is oriented on research and career development for students who have identified their PhD topics and are just embarking on that independent research. The central activities for the DMC include opportunities for students to present and discuss their work with their peers; interaction with an identified group of senior researchers for advice on Ph.D. research, a career panel to discuss career choices in industry and academia, small group activities led by assigned mentors, and a great deal of opportunity for interactions with the international research community in AAMAS, which might lead to future collaborative activity. In addition, the DMC includes a tutorial program with full-day and half-day tutorials that will provide detailed overviews of specific subfields by leading researchers in the field. Sponsoring student travel to AAMAS conveys many benefits beyond the DMC program. The sponsored students have full access to a well-developed AAMAS workshop and conference program covering a diverse range of research areas in this community. This is an opportunity for students to engage in discussion with scientists from around the world and to explore new research directions and topics. AAMAS is the major international conference that will figure prominently in the research careers of students who remain involved in agents and MAS. Students gain valuable research insights from the exchange of technical ideas in this broader venue. In the process, they make valuable connections with potential collaborators from around the world. As intelligent software and embodies systems become more prevalent, it is clear that advances in intelligent agent technology will have significant impact in virtually any domain imaginable, including such national priorities as health and well-being, e-commerce, and national defense.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.

该赠款为参加博士指导联盟 (DMC) 的学生提供旅行费用，该联盟将于 2018 年 7 月 10 日至 15 日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行第十七届自主代理和多代理系统国际会议 (AAMAS)。整个国际研究社区中代理和多代理系统 (MAS) 的研究人员。 该联盟面向已确定博士学位主题并刚刚开始独立研究的学生的研究和职业发展。 DMC 的核心活动包括让学生有机会与同龄人展示和讨论他们的工作；与一组确定的高级研究人员互动，寻求博士学位的建议。研究、讨论工业界和学术界职业选择的职业小组、由指定导师领导的小组活动，以及与 AAMAS 的国际研究界互动的大量机会，这可能会导致未来的合作活动。此外，DMC 还包括一个包含全天和半天教程的教程项目，该项目将由该领域的领先研究人员提供特定子领域的详细概述。赞助学生参加 AAMAS 旅行除了 DMC 计划之外还有许多好处。受资助的学生可以充分参与 AAMAS 完善的研讨会和会议计划，涵盖该社区的各个研究领域。这是学生与世界各地的科学家进行讨论并探索新的研究方向和主题的机会。 AAMAS 是一项重要的国际会议，它将在继续参与代理和 MAS 的学生的研究生涯中发挥重要作用。学生在这个更广阔的场所交流技术思想，获得宝贵的研究见解。在此过程中，他们与来自世界各地的潜在合作者建立了宝贵的联系。随着智能软件和体现系统变得越来越普遍，很明显，智能代理技术的进步将在几乎任何可以想象到的领域产生重大影响，包括健康和福祉、电子商务和国防等国家优先事项。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
