Group07 Doctoral Consortium to be held on November 4-7, 2007 in Sanibel Island, Florida

这是资助博士联盟（讲习班）约12个有前途的研究生，沿着杰出的研究教师，这将与2007年ACM集团会议（Group 07），将于2007年11月4日至7日在萨尼贝尔岛，佛罗里达举行。 由计算机协会主办的两年一度的小组会议是介绍和讨论组织系统、信息系统、社会信息学和计算机支持的协同工作（CSCW）研究和实践的主要论坛。 大约有120名CSCW、HCI和相关的计算机科学、信息科学和信息技术研究人员和专业人士参加了会议，会议记录被大量引用。 2007年11月4日将在Group 07举行博士生联盟会议，11月6日将在会议技术计划期间举行后续海报会议，11月7日将为博士生联盟学生举行总结分析和总结会议。 这是一个新的博士联盟，但自1992年以来，类似的联盟已经在CSCW会议上出现（最近一次由NSF赞助），并帮助启动了许多优秀的CSCW研究人员的职业生涯。 该活动的目标是建立一个新研究人员的队列组，然后他们将拥有一个同事网络，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，为集团研究主题的选择提供鼓励和支持，使该领域有前途的新进入者能够参加他们的研究会议，说明集团研究的相互关系和多样性，并使新参加者在集团会议上的经历愉快和有益，从而鼓励他们将来返回并提交论文，小组，演示，海报等。在联盟的全天，每个学生将做一个关于他/她的博士研究的正式报告。 反馈将由教师小组的每个成员提供，以及由其他学生参与者，并将帮助学生参与者了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，他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和介绍，学生将有机会在联盟日的午餐和晚餐期间与教师（和其他客人）进行更非正式的互动。 海报会议定于第二天的技术方案将提供学生参与者有机会介绍他们的工作，以会议与会者一般。 该联盟的组织者将特别努力吸引来自代表性不足的社区的参与者，并超越传统的CSCW研究社区。 美国国家科学基金会的资金将提供国内旅行和住宿的学生，以及把事件的直接费用的支持。更广泛的影响：Group 07博士联盟将汇集最好的下一代组织系统，信息系统，社会信息学，和计算机支持的合作工作的研究人员。该活动将使他们能够在他们自己之间以及与高级研究人员之间建立一个社交网络，这将在他们融入职业中发挥重要作用。 由于学生和教师将构成一个多元化的群体沿着几个方面，学生的视野将在他们的专业发展的关键阶段扩大。

This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) for about 12 promising graduate students, along with distinguished research faculty, which will take place in conjunction with the 2007 ACM Group Conference (Group07), to be held November 4-7, 2007, on Sanibel Island, Florida. The bi-annual Group conferences, sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery, are a leading forum for the presentation and discussion of organizational systems, information systems, social informatics, and computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) research and practice. They are attended by approximately 120 CSCW, HCI, and allied Computer Science, Information Science, and Information Technology researchers and professionals, and the conference proceedings are heavily-refereed and widely cited. The Doctoral Consortium at Group07 will take place on November 4, 2007, with a follow-up poster session to be held during the conference's technical program on November 6, and a wrap-up analysis and summary session for the doctoral consortium students on November 7. This is a new doctoral consortium, but similar consortia have taken place at the CSCW conference since 1992 (the most recent of them sponsored in part by NSF), and have helped to launch the careers of many fine CSCW researchers. The goals of the event are to build a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues, to guide the work of the new researchers by having the experts in the research field give advice, to provide encouragement and support for the selection of Group research topics, to make it possible for promising new entrants to the field to attend their research conference, to illustrate the interrelationship and diversity of Group research, and to make the new entrants' experience at the Group conference an enjoyable and rewarding one, thereby encouraging them to return in the future and submit papers, panels, demonstrations, posters, etc. During the full day of the Consortium, each student will make a formal presentation about his/her doctoral research. Feedback will be provided by each member of the faculty panel, as well as by the other student participants, and will help student participants 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, whether their results are being appropriately analyzed and presented, etc. Students will have an opportunity to interact more informally with the faculty (and additional guests) during lunch and dinner on the Consortium day. The poster session scheduled for the second day of the technical program will afford student participants a chance to present their work to conference attendees in general. The organizers of the Consortium will make a special effort to attract participants from under-represented communities, and to reach beyond the traditional CSCW research community. NSF funding will provide support for the domestic travel and lodging of the students, as well as the direct expenses of putting on the event.Broader Impacts: The Group07 Doctoral Consortium will bring together the best of the next generation of organizational systems, information systems, social informatics, and computer supported cooperative work researchers. The event will allow them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers, and this will play a major role in their enculturation into the profession. Since the students and faculty will constitute a diverse group along several dimensions, the students' horizons will be broadened at a critical stage in their professional development.
