This grant supports travel for select students participating in the Doctoral Mentoring Consortium (DMC) at the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS) that will be held in October 2020 in Nancy, France and the associated summer school held in conjunction with the conference. ICAPS is the premier international conference for researchers in artificial intelligence research across a fully international research community. Artificial intelligence promises broad positive societal impacts in areas ranging from sustainability, smart grids, health care, user-specific education, scientific discovery, and robotics, to name a few. Automated planning and scheduling research is central to improving decision making in dynamic environments. The DMC creates the opportunity to engage students who might not have attended an AI conference due to lack of resources. This will draw more talent into AI research, improve research ideas in their formative stage, and engender collaborations across the breadth of disciplines. 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 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 opportunity for interactions with the international research community in AI, which might lead to future collaborative activity. In addition, the DMC affords access to tutorial, workshops, and demonstrations that will provide detailed overviews of specific subfields by leading researchers 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.

这项赠款支持将于2020年10月在法国的南希和与会议结合的相关暑期学校举行的国际自动化计划与计划会议（ICAPS）上参加博士指导联盟（DMC）的选定学生。 ICAPS是全国际研究界的人工智能研究研究人员的首屈一指的国际会议。人工智能承诺在从可持续性，智能电网，医疗保健，特定于用户特定的教育，科学发现和机器人技术等领域中产生广泛的积极社会影响。自动化计划和调度研究对于改善动态环境中的决策至关重要。 DMC创造了与可能因缺乏资源而参加AI会议的学生吸引的机会。这将吸引更多的人才进入AI研究，在其形成阶段改善研究思想，并在整个学科的广度上进行合作。这项活动为学生在研究的关键时刻为学生提供了无价的外部观点，并使他们能够探索自己的职业目标。该财团针对那些确定了博士学位的学生的研究和职业发展，并只是踏上了该独立研究。 DMC的中心活动包括学生与同龄人展示和讨论他们的工作的机会；与确定的一组高级研究人员的互动，以获取博士学位的建议。研究;一个职业小组讨论行业和学术界的职业选择；由指派导师领导的小组活动；和与AI国际研究界互动的机会，这可能会导致未来的协作活动。此外，DMC还可以访问教程，讲习班和演示，这些奖项将详细介绍该领域的领先研究人员对特定子领域的详细概述。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来提供支持的。
