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

这笔资金用于支持一个博士联盟(研讨会)，该联盟将与2007年11月4日至7日在佛罗里达州萨尼贝尔岛举行的2007年ACM小组会议(Group07)一起举行，研讨会将面向大约12名有前途的研究生和杰出的研究人员。每两年举行一次的小组会议由计算机械协会主办，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员参加了会议，会议记录被大量引用和引用。Group07的博士联盟将于2007年11月4日举行，后续的海报会议将在11月6日的会议技术项目期间举行，博士团学生的总结分析和总结会议将于11月7日举行。这是一个新的博士联盟，但自1992年以来，CSCW会议上一直有类似的联盟(最近的一次由NSF部分赞助)，并帮助启动了许多优秀的CSCW研究人员的职业生涯。活动的目标是建立一个新的研究人员群体，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，为小组研究主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是愉快和有益的，从而鼓励他们未来返回并提交论文、小组讨论、演示、海报等。每个学生都要做一个关于他/她的博士研究的正式报告。每位教师小组成员以及其他学生参与者将提供反馈，帮助学生参与者了解并清楚地说明他们的工作相对于其他研究的定位，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否得到正确的选择和应用，他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和展示，等等。学生将有机会在联盟日的午餐和晚餐期间与教师(和其他客人)进行更非正式的互动。计划在技术项目第二天举行的海报会议将为学生参与者提供向一般会议与会者展示他们的工作的机会。该联盟的组织者将特别努力吸引来自代表性不足社区的参与者，并超越传统的CSCW研究社区。NSF的资助将提供学生国内旅行和住宿的支持，以及举办活动的直接费用。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协作研究人员中的佼佼者。这次活动将允许他们在自己之间以及与资深研究人员建立一个社交网络，这将在他们融入该职业的过程中发挥重要作用。由于学生和教职员工将在几个维度上构成一个多元化的群体，学生的视野将在他们专业发展的关键阶段得到开阔。

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.
