This is funding to support attendance by approximately 15 graduate students in a doctoral consortium (workshop) to be held in conjunction with the Eighth International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI'06), to be held November 2-4, 2006 in Banff, Canada, and sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). ICMI is the foremost conference representing the growing interest in next-generation perceptive, adaptive and multimodal user interfaces, systems, and applications, which 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. 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 in the field. The theme of this year's conference is multimodal collaboration through different platforms and applications; the conference will focus on major trends and challenges in this area, including distilling a roadmap for future research and commercial success. Participants in the doctoral consortium will receive feedback from an invited committee of half a dozen senior personnel to posters which reflect work-in-progress not mature enough for a full paper at ICMI; they will also get to present their work orally to the conference as a whole during a doctoral spotlight session highlighting top student research 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. Participants will be selected with the goal of increasing the conference's breadth and diversity; the organizers will make an effort to recruit members of traditionally under-represented groups including women, minorities, and people with disabilities, as well as from less well-funded institutions where adequate support for student conference attendance may be otherwise unavailable.

这笔资金将用于支持大约15名研究生参加一个博士联合会（讲习班），该联合会将与2006年11月2日至4日在加拿大班夫举行的第八届多模式接口国际会议（ICMI'06）一起举行，由计算机协会（ACM）赞助。 ICMI是最重要的会议，代表了对下一代感知，自适应和多模式用户界面，系统和应用程序的日益增长的兴趣，这些界面，系统和应用程序特别适合于解释现实世界环境中的自然通信和活动模式。它们的出现代表了与先前计算的根本背离，并且通过创建更自然的、表现力更强大的、与计算机交互的灵活和强大的手段。 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，介绍和讨论该领域最新的多学科工作。 今年会议的主题是通过不同的平台和应用进行多模式协作;会议将重点关注这一领域的主要趋势和挑战，包括提炼未来研究和商业成功的路线图。 博士联盟的参与者将收到来自六名高级人员的邀请委员会的反馈，以反映在ICMI上不够成熟的工作进展的海报;他们还将在博士聚光灯会议期间口头向整个会议介绍他们的工作，突出了顶尖学生的研究更广泛的影响：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。 与会者的选择将以增加会议的广度和多样性为目标;组织者将努力招募传统上代表性不足的群体的成员，包括妇女、少数民族和残疾人，以及来自资金不足的机构，否则可能无法为学生出席会议提供足够的支持。
