This proposal describes the Career Development Plan for Dr. Manuel A. Pdrez-Quifiones. The goal is to further develop the Human-Computer Interaction research and education at the University of Puerto Rico Mayagilez Campus (UPRM), and to foster the development of a software industry in Puerto Rico for the creation of K-12 educational software. The proposed research will create algorithms, tools, and methodologies to capture and use dialogue-context in graphical user interfaces, and to allow for portability of this context across desktop and PDAs. The educational career plans include the development of K-12 educational software for schools in Puerto Rico.The research plan includes: Definition of a taxonomy of factors that affect dialogue-context. The taxonomy will include examples on how these factors can be used in the design of context-based interaction. Design and implementation of algorithms to track dialogue-context in a graphical user interface. These algorithms will be based on existing algorithms on natural language interfaces, but will be modified as appropriate to allow dialogue context to be portable between different interface styles. Design and evaluation of new interaction methods that use dialogue-context. Usability studies will be used to assess the effectiveness of dialogue-context in educational programs.The educational plan includes a project to help develop educational software for K-12, as well as other related activities: Participate with the industrial sector to help stimulate the development of a local software industry for K-12 software. Partnership with Oracle Caribbean and Quantum Business Engineering, Inc. is already in place to help develop educational software for Puerto Rico schools. Results from the research effort will be incorporated into the software developed for the educational initiative. Increase collaboration with other educators in Puerto Rico through the organization of local symposiums to discuss the specific needs for our students as related with educational software. Revision and creation of new courses for undergraduate and graduate students in the area of user interfaces, mobile computing and educational software. Continued collaboration in PreEngineering Program, and Industrial Affiliates Program at UPRM, and in other professional organizations.The Career Plan herein proposed is an extension and integration of previous experiences Dr. Pdrez-Quifiones has had as researcher in national laboratories, professor and instructor at several academic institutions, and developer of several shareware software titles for educational uses.

本提案描述了Manuel A. Pdrez-Quifiones博士的职业发展计划。目标是进一步发展波多黎各大学马亚吉莱斯校区（UPRM）的人机交互研究和教育，并促进波多黎各软件产业的发展，以创建K-12教育软件。拟议的研究将创建算法、工具和方法来捕获和使用图形用户界面中的对话上下文，并允许跨桌面和pda的这种上下文的可移植性。教育事业计划包括为波多黎各的学校开发K-12教育软件。研究计划包括：定义影响对话-语境因素的分类。分类法将包括如何在基于上下文的交互设计中使用这些因素的示例。在图形用户界面中跟踪对话上下文的算法的设计和实现。这些算法将基于自然语言接口上的现有算法，但将根据需要进行修改，以允许对话上下文在不同的界面风格之间可移植。设计和评估使用对话-语境的新互动方法。可用性研究将用于评估教育项目中对话-语境的有效性。教育计划包括一项协助发展幼稚园至12年级教育软件的计划，以及其他相关活动：与工业界合作，协助推动本地幼稚园至12年级软件的软件业发展。与甲骨文加勒比和量子商业工程公司的合作伙伴关系已经到位，以帮助开发波多黎各学校的教育软件。研究工作的结果将被纳入为教育计划开发的软件中。通过组织当地座谈会，讨论学生在教育软件方面的具体需求，加强与波多黎各其他教育工作者的合作。在用户界面、移动计算和教育软件领域为本科生和研究生修订和创建新课程。在预工程项目、工业附属项目和其他专业组织中继续合作。此处提出的职业规划是对Pdrez-Quifiones博士以前的经验的延伸和整合，他曾在国家实验室担任研究员，在几家学术机构担任教授和讲师，并开发了几款用于教育用途的共享软件。
