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

这笔资金用于支持为大约 12 名有前途的研究生以及杰出的研究人员举办的博士生联盟（研讨会），该研讨会将与 2007 年 ACM 小组会议（Group07）同时举行，该会议将于 2007 年 11 月 4 日至 7 日在佛罗里达州萨尼贝尔岛举行。 两年一次的小组会议由计算机协会主办，是组织系统、信息系统、社会信息学和计算机支持合作工作 (CSCW) 研究和实践的展示和讨论的领先论坛。 大约 120 名 CSCW、HCI 以及相关计算机科学、信息科学和信息技术研究人员和专业人士参加了这些会议，会议记录得到了大量参考和广泛引用。 Group07 的博士联盟将于 2007 年 11 月 4 日举行，后续海报会议将于 11 月 6 日在会议技术计划期间举行，并于 11 月 7 日为博士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 年以来在 CSCW 会议上也出现了类似的联盟（其中最近一次由 NSF 部分赞助），并帮助推出了许多优秀 CSCW 研究人员的职业生涯。 活动的目标是建立一个新研究人员群体，建立一个同事网络，通过研究领域专家的建议来指导新研究人员的工作，为研究课题的选择提供鼓励和支持，使有前途的新进入者能够参加他们的研究会议，说明研究小组研究的相互关系和多样性，并使新进入者在小组会议上的经历成为一种愉快和有益的经历，从而鼓励他们回来未来并提交论文、小组讨论、演示、海报等。在联盟的一整天中，每个学生将就他/她的博士研究进行正式介绍。 反馈将由教师小组的每位成员以及其他学生参与者提供，并将帮助学生参与者理解和阐明他们的工作相对于其他研究的定位，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呈现等。学生将有机会在联盟日的午餐和晚餐期间与教师（和其他嘉宾）进行更非正式的互动。 计划在技术计划第二天举行的海报会议将为学生参与者提供向一般与会者展示其作品的机会。 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。 NSF 的资金将为学生的国内旅行和住宿以及举办活动的直接费用提供支持。 更广泛的影响：Group07 博士联盟将汇集下一代组织系统、信息系统、社会信息学和计算机支持的合作研究人员中最优秀的人才。该活动将使他们能够在自己之间以及与高级研究人员之间建立一个社交网络，这将在他们融入该职业的过程中发挥重要作用。 由于学生和教师将在多个维度上构成一个多元化的群体，因此学生的视野将在其专业发展的关键阶段得到拓宽。

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.
