Workshop on Human-Centered Computing: Defining the Future of HCI, DST, and UA September 2006-NSF Arlington, VA

人机交互、通用访问和数字社会与技术方面的长期项目被合并为一个以人为中心的计算“集群”，作为IIS部门题为“信息和智能系统：推进以人为中心的计算、信息集成和信息学以及强大的智能”（NSF 06-572）的新招标的一部分。这笔资金将用于支持将于2006年9月在NSF举行的两个为期1.5天的研讨会中的一个，以响应这次重组。每个研讨会将汇集（一组不同的）当前NSF pi，他们正在进行的研究涵盖了目前HCC的广泛主题，以及有相关兴趣的研究社区的其他成员。研讨会的主要目标是向研究界介绍新的HCC集群和相关的招标，并帮助NSF确定该领域的新趋势。与会者将讨论并优先考虑科学界认为将在近期至中期产生重大影响的HCC的重要子领域。由于研讨会将于9月举行，因此将有足够的准备时间来影响研究界在即将到来的征集截止日期（2006年10月至12月）提交的提案。此外，在审查提案和提出资助建议之前，将向NSF提供研讨会反馈。更广泛的影响：本次研讨会将为当前的pi和快速发展的HCC研究界的其他成员提供一个独特的机会，讨论当前的艺术状态，并参与战略规划，以塑造这一新的跨学科研究领域的方向，对未来的社会产生重大影响。研讨会将扩大pi对包括HCC在内的丰富多样的研究课题的认识。它将促进该领域内在的跨学科重点领域之间的网络，并且还将使年轻的研究人员有机会通过与更多具有相关兴趣的高级研究人员的互动，获得关于他们当前工作和未来计划的建设性反馈。研讨会组织者将制作一份全面的研讨会报告，研讨会网站将成为研讨会讨论、分组报告等的永久存储库，供研究界广泛访问。

Longstanding programs in Human-Computer Interaction, Universal Access, and Digital Society and Technologies have been combined into a single "cluster" on Human-Centered Computing as part of IIS Division's new solicitation entitled "Information and Intelligent Systems: Advancing Human-Centered Computing, Information Integration and Informatics, and Robust Intelligence" (NSF 06-572). This is funding to support one of a pair of 1.5-day workshops to be held at NSF in September, 2006, in response to this reorganization. Each workshop will bring together (a different group of) current NSF PIs whose ongoing research spans the broad spectrum of topics now included in HCC, along with selected additional members of the research community with related interests. The primary goals of the workshop are to educate the research community about the new HCC cluster and the related solicitation, and to help NSF identify emerging trends in the field. Participants will discuss and prioritize the important subfields of HCC that the scientific community believes will have a major impact in the near-to-medium term. Because the workshop will take place in September, there will be sufficient lead-time for the event to affect proposals submitted by the research community for the upcoming solicitation deadlines (October-December, 2006). In addition, workshop feedback to NSF will occur before proposals are reviewed and funding recommendations made.Broader Impacts: This workshop will present a unique opportunity for current PIs and other members of the rapidly growing HCC research community to discuss the state of the art and to engage in strategic planning toward shaping the direction of this new and interdisciplinary research area with major implications for the future of society. The workshop will broaden awareness among PIs of the rich variety of research topics that comprise HCC. It will foster networking across the inherently interdisciplinary focus areas of the field, and will also afford young researchers a chance to receive constructive feedback on their current work and future plans through interaction with more senior investigators with related interests. The workshop organizers will produce a comprehensive workshop report, and the workshop website will become a permanent repository of the workshop discussions, breakout group reports, etc for general access by the research community at large.
