This is funding to support a research symposium (workshop) of approximately 15 promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad, along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place in conjunction with the 6th International ACM SIGCAPH Conference on Assistive Technologies (ASSETS'04), to be held October 18-20 in Atlanta, and sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computers and the Physically Handicapped. The ASSETS conference is the premier forum for presenting research results and innovations in software and technology designed to address the special needs of people with disabilities of all kinds. Researchers and developers from both academia and industry around the world will meet to exchange ideas and present reports on the latest work relating to speech, motor, hearing, and vision impairments, cognitive limitations, emotional and learning disabilities, and aging. The ASSETS'04 doctoral research symposium will provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field. Student participants will make formal presentations of their work during the symposium, and will receive constructive feedback from a faculty panel. The feedback is designed to help students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to related research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Thus, the symposium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at assistive technologies and universal access, will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in this emerging interdisciplinary area, and will expose these promising young researchers to a larger community. Evaluation of the symposium will be conducted, and the results made available to the organizers of future such events.Broader Impacts: The doctoral symposium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in this field, by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior members of the research community. It will further help foster a sense of community among these young researchers, by allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Because the students and faculty constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, including nationality/cultural and scientific discipline, the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field.

这是资助一个研究研讨会（讲习班）的大约15个有前途的博士生来自美国和国外，沿着杰出的研究教师。 该活动将与10月18日至20日在亚特兰大举行的第六届国际ACM SIGCAPH辅助技术会议（ASSETS'04）一起举行，并由计算机械协会的计算机和残疾人特别兴趣小组赞助。 ASSETS会议是展示软件和技术研究成果和创新的主要论坛，旨在满足各种残疾人的特殊需求。 来自世界各地的学术界和工业界的研究人员和开发人员将会面，交流想法，并就与言语，运动，听力和视觉障碍，认知限制，情感和学习障碍以及衰老有关的最新工作提出报告。 资产'04博士研究研讨会将为研究生提供一个机会，探索他们的研究兴趣在一个跨学科的研讨会，在该领域的杰出专家小组的指导下。 学生参与者将在研讨会期间正式介绍他们的工作，并将收到教师小组的建设性反馈。 反馈的目的是帮助学生理解和阐明他们的工作是如何定位相对于相关的研究，他们的主题是否充分集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和呈现。 因此，研讨会将有助于塑造正在进行的和未来的研究项目，旨在辅助技术和普及，将促进奖学金和新的研究人员在这一新兴的跨学科领域之间的网络，并将这些有前途的年轻研究人员接触到更大的社区。 将对研讨会进行评估，并将结果提供给今后此类活动的组织者。更广泛的影响：博士研讨会将有助于扩大正在攻读该领域研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，使他们有机会在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并获得研究界资深成员的反馈和指导。 这将进一步帮助培养这些年轻研究人员的社区意识，使他们能够在自己之间以及在其专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立社会网络。 由于学生和教师构成了一个跨各种维度的多元化群体，包括国籍/文化和科学学科，学生的视野被拓宽到该领域的未来利益。
