This is funding to support a doctoral consortium for 10-14 promising graduate students from the United States, along with distinguished research faculty, and up to 5 non-U.S. students (who will be invited to participate without financial support), which will take place in conjunction with the 2005 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC'05), to be held September 21-24 in Dallas, Texas, and sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. Our society has evolved into two distinct classes: the information haves and have-nots. Recent advances in mobile computing and multi-sensory technologies provide great opportunities for reducing the gap between the haves and have-nots by enhancing access to information technology for the latter group, but there are significant challenges as well. Only if computers, hand-held devices, and the Web are easily accessible by all will universal end-user programming be possible. But easy access implies a need to look beyond traditional keyboard and mouse interaction styles. Thus, the focus of this year's VL/HCC doctoral consortium, the third to be funded by NSF in this series, is on how designers of digital devices and environments can better address universal access issues through multiple modes of interaction. Participants in this event will explore multimodal and multimedia interaction between human and computers, between human and the Web, and between human and human. The event will bring together and build community among young researchers working on different aspects of the research problem, whether their "home" research community is in computer science, sociology, or education. The workshop will emphasize to attendees (both the graduate students immediately involved and general conference participants) the crosscutting nature of research relevant to this pressing research problem, which has received too little prior attention. Goals of the workshop include building a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues spread out across the world, guiding the work of new researchers by having experts in the research field give them advice, and making it possible for promising new entrants to the field to attend their research conference. Student participants will make formal presentations of their work during the workshop, and will receive feedback from the faculty panel. The feedback is geared to helping students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other human-computer interaction 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. Extended abstracts of the students' work will be published in the conference proceedings, which has wide print and electronic distribution. The conference steering committee will evaluate the workshop outcome, and the results will be made available to the organizers of possible similar future events.Broader Impacts: The workshop will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at alleviating a pressing problem of relevance to a great many people within our society. This event will promote discovery and learning, by encouraging the student researchers to explore a difficult and challenging open problem, through involvement of a panel of well-known researchers whose task is to provide constructive feedback, and through inclusion of other conference participants who will also learn from and provide additional feedback to the students and to each other.

这笔资金用于支持一个博士联盟，该联盟由10 - 14名来自美国的有前途的研究生、沿着的杰出研究人员和最多5名非美国学生组成（将在没有财政支持的情况下受邀参加），该会议将与2005年IEEE视觉语言和以人为中心的计算研讨会一起举行（VL/HCC '05），将于9月21 - 24日在德克萨斯州的达拉斯举行，由IEEE计算机协会赞助。 我们的社会已经演变成两个截然不同的阶层：信息拥有者和信息缺乏者。 最近在移动的计算和多传感器技术方面取得的进展，为通过增加穷人获得信息技术的机会来缩小富人和穷人之间的差距提供了巨大的机会，但也存在着重大的挑战。 只有当计算机、手持设备和网络都能被所有人轻松访问时，通用的最终用户编程才有可能。 但容易访问意味着需要超越传统的键盘和鼠标交互风格。 因此，今年的VL/HCC博士联盟的重点是数字设备和环境的设计师如何通过多种交互模式更好地解决普遍访问问题。 参与者将探索人与计算机之间、人与网络之间以及人与人之间的多模态和多媒体交互。 该活动将汇集和建立社区的年轻研究人员在研究问题的不同方面的工作，无论他们的“家”研究社区是在计算机科学，社会学，或教育。 研讨会将向与会者（直接参与的研究生和大会与会者）强调与这一紧迫的研究问题相关的研究的跨学科性质，这一问题以前很少受到关注。 该研讨会的目标包括建立一个新研究人员的队列组，然后他们将在世界各地建立一个同事网络，通过让研究领域的专家为他们提供建议来指导新研究人员的工作，并使有前途的新进入者能够参加他们的研究会议。 学生参与者将在研讨会期间正式介绍他们的工作，并将收到来自教师小组的反馈。 反馈是面向帮助学生理解和阐明他们的工作是如何定位相对于其他人机交互研究，他们的主题是否足够集中的论文研究项目，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。 学生工作的扩展摘要将在会议论文集上发表，该论文集具有广泛的印刷和电子分发。 会议指导委员会将对研讨会的成果进行评估，并将评估结果提供给未来可能举办的类似活动的组织者。更广泛的影响：研讨会将帮助制定正在进行和未来的研究项目，旨在缓解与我们社会中许多人相关的紧迫问题。本次活动将促进发现和学习，通过鼓励学生研究人员探索一个困难和具有挑战性的开放问题，通过一个知名研究人员小组的参与，其任务是提供建设性的反馈，并通过包括其他与会者谁也将学习和提供额外的反馈给学生和彼此。
