Workshop: i-Conference Doctoral Research Colloquium October 16-17, 2006 in Ann Arbor, Michigan

这是资金支持博士研究座谈会（研讨会）的25-30论文阶段的博士生在信息领域的一天的会谈和互动与9-10名教师谁是杰出的信息研究人员。 该活动将与2006年i-Conference同时举行，并在2006年i-Conference之前举行，i-Conference是第二次会议，组织者希望这将成为一个年度活动，汇集来自新的“信息学校”的教师和学生。“第一次i会议是去年在宾夕法尼亚州立大学举行的。 大约300名教师，学生和嘉宾参加了会议，这是成功地建立了一个社区周围的新信息领域和i-school愿景的感觉，汇集了人谁可能不会以其他方式相互接触，分享他们的观点与跨学科研究。 去年的会议包括一个博士生海报会议，这是非常好的出席。 今年的i-Conference将于10月16日至17日在密歇根州的安阿伯举行，并将包括10月15日举行的扩大的博士研究座谈会。 座谈会的目标是：建立一个新的研究人员群体，然后将有一个遍布世界各地的同事网络;通过让研究领域的专家提供建议来指导新研究人员的工作;为信息研究主题的选择提供鼓励和支持;说明信息领域的相互关系和多样性;并使该领域有前途的新进入者能够参加i-Conference并获得愉快和有益的经验，以便他们在未来几年返回并提交论文，小组，海报等。 学生参与者将由教师审查委员会根据申请人提交的材料选择，以响应参与呼吁;将注意确保座谈会是一个机会均等的活动。 在三个平行的会议，学生参与者将介绍他们的工作和教师小组将提供反馈，这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研究，他们的主题是否充分集中于论文研究项目，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。 在一天结束时，该小组将召开全体会议，在会上还将讨论各种专业问题，如在就业市场和获得赠款，以支持研究。 更广泛的影响：博士研究座谈会将有助于扩大正在攻读该领域研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，为他们提供机会，让他们在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并获得研究社区高级成员的反馈和指导。 这将进一步帮助培养这些年轻研究人员的社区意识，使他们能够在自己之间以及在其专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立社会网络。 由于学生和教师在几个方面（国籍，科学根源，方法）构成了一个多样化的群体，学生的视野在他们的专业发展的关键阶段扩大，以该领域的未来利益。

This is funding to support a doctoral research colloquium (workshop) of 25-30 dissertation stage doctoral students in the field of Information for a day of talks and interaction with 9-10 faculty members who are distinguished Information researchers. The event will take place in conjunction with and immediately preceding the 2006 i-Conference, the second conference in what the organizers hope will become an annual event that brings together faculty and students from the new "Information Schools." The first i-Conference was held last year at Pennsylvania State University. About 300 faculty, students, and guests attended that conference, which was successful in building a sense of community around the new Information field and the i-school vision, bringing together people who might not otherwise engage with one another, to share their views associated with interdisciplinary research. Last year's conference included a Doctoral Student Poster Session, which was very well attended. This year's i-Conference will take place in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on October 16-17, and will include an expanded Doctoral Research Colloquium as indicated above on October 15. The goals of the colloquium are: to build a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues spread out across the world; to guide the work of the new researchers by having experts in the research field give advice; to provide encouragement and support for the selection of Information research topics; to illustrate the interrelationship and diversity of the field of Information; and to make it possible for promising new entrants in the field to attend the i-Conference and have an enjoyable and rewarding experience so that they will return and submit papers, panels, posters, etc. in future years. Student participants will be selected by a faculty review committee based on materials submitted by applicants in response to a call for participation; care will be taken to ensure that the colloquium is an equal opportunity event. In three parallel sessions, student participants will present their work and a faculty panel will provide feedback that is geared to helping the students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other 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. At the end of the day, the group will convene in a plenary session at which various professional issues such as being in the job market and getting grants to support research, will also be discussed. The student papers will be published in a booklet that will be circulated to attendees at the conference.Broader Impacts: The doctoral research colloquium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in this field, by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior members of the research community. It will further help foster a sense of community among these young researchers, by allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Since the students and faculty constitute a diverse group on several dimensions (nationality, scientific roots, methods), the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development, to the future benefit of the field.
