This is funding to support attendance by approximately 15 graduate students in a doctoral consortium (workshop) to be held in conjunction with the Sixth International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI'04), to be held October 13-15, 2004 in State College, PA, and sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The 3-day conference will bring together researchers from academia and industry from around the world to present and discuss the latest multi-disciplinary work on multimodal interfaces, systems, and applications. The conference represents the growing interest in next-generation perceptive, adaptive and multimodal user interfaces. These new interfaces are especially well suited for interpreting natural communication and activity patterns in real-world environments; their emergence represents a radical departure from previous computing, and is rapidly transforming the nature of human-computer interaction by creating more natural, expressively powerful, flexible and robust means of interacting with computers. Participants in the doctoral consortium will receive feedback from an invited committee of 3-5 senior personnel to posters which reflect work-in-progress not mature enough for a full paper at ICMI. Broader Impacts: The doctoral consortium will give students exposure to their new research community, both by presenting their own work and by observing and interacting with established professionals in the field. It will encourage students at this critical time in their careers to begin building a social support network of peers and mentors. The organizers will make a special effort to recruit student participants from less well-funded institutions, where adequate support for student conference attendance may be otherwise unavailable. Participation by members of traditionally under-represented groups, including women, minority students, people with disabilities and veterans, will be strongly encouraged.

这笔资金是为了支持大约15名研究生参加一个博士联盟（研讨会），该联盟将于2004年10月13日至15日在宾夕法尼亚州州立大学举行的第六届多模态接口国际会议（ICMI'04）同时举行，该会议由计算机协会（ACM）赞助。为期3天的会议将汇集来自世界各地的学术界和工业界的研究人员，介绍和讨论关于多模态接口，系统和应用的最新多学科工作。会议代表了对下一代感知、自适应和多模态用户界面日益增长的兴趣。这些新的接口特别适合于解释现实世界环境中的自然通信和活动模式；它们的出现代表了对以前计算的彻底背离，并且通过创造更自然、表达能力更强、更灵活和更健壮的与计算机交互的方式，正在迅速改变人机交互的本质。博士联合体的参与者将收到一个由3-5名高级人员组成的特邀委员会对海报的反馈，这些海报反映了正在进行的工作还不够成熟，不足以在ICMI上发表一篇完整的论文。更广泛的影响：博士联盟将通过展示他们自己的工作以及观察和与该领域的知名专业人士互动，让学生接触到他们的新研究社区。它将鼓励学生在职业生涯的这个关键时刻开始建立一个由同龄人和导师组成的社会支持网络。组织者将特别努力从资金较差的院校招募学生参加者，因为这些院校可能无法为学生出席会议提供足够的支持。将大力鼓励传统上代表性不足的群体成员，包括妇女、少数民族学生、残疾人和退伍军人的参与。
