Student Participant Support for International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces 2005

这笔资金用于支助大约15名研究生参加一个博士联合会（讲习班），该联合会将与2005年10月在特伦托意大利举行的第七届多式联运接口国际会议（ICMI'04）同时举行。 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，介绍和讨论多模式接口，系统和应用程序的最新多学科工作。 会议代表了对下一代感知，自适应和多模式用户界面的日益增长的兴趣。 这些新的界面特别适合于解释现实世界环境中的自然通信和活动模式;它们的出现代表着与以前的计算的彻底背离，并通过创建更自然，表达功能强大，灵活和强大的人机交互方式来迅速改变人机交互的性质。 博士生联盟的参与者将收到来自3-5名高级人员的邀请委员会的反馈，这些反馈反映了在ICMI上发表完整论文的工作进展不够成熟。 更广泛的影响：博士生联盟将让学生接触到他们的新的研究社区，无论是通过展示自己的工作，并通过观察和与该领域的专业人士互动。 它将鼓励学生在职业生涯的这一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不足的机构招募学生参与者，否则这些机构可能无法为学生参加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、残疾人和退伍军人参加。

This is funding to support attendance by approximately 15 graduate students in a doctoral consortium (workshop) to be held in conjunction with the Seventh International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI'04), to be held in October 2005 in Trento Italy. 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.
