NSF Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction for 21st Century Discovery

研究机构：北卡罗莱纳大学教堂山分校复兴计算研究所（RENCI）首席研究员：Marilyn lombard今天的图形用户界面继续依赖于WIMP（窗口、图标、菜单、指向设备）技术，该技术最早于20世纪60年代开发。高性能计算科学通常仍然以批处理模式执行，因为今天的HPC架构和软件不支持科学家和HPC应用程序之间的实时交互。21世纪的前沿互动机制如何实现高效的科学和发现？新技术如何使科学对学生和公众生动起来？由美国国家科学基金会网络基础设施办公室（OCI）和计算与信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）联合主办，为期两天，仅限邀请的研讨会将汇集来自工业界和学术界的精选思想领袖，为未来十年以人为中心的界面和交互设计制定指导愿景和交叉研究议程。讲习班代表了在以人为中心的界面和交互设计领域从独立研究项目转向连贯地应用国家资源的关键一步。来自计算机科学、工程学、机器人、人工智能、认知科学、感知心理学、神经生物学、建筑、设计和互动艺术领域的受邀者将共同探讨一系列关键问题：到2018年，我们想要成为什么样的人？我们计划如何以可扩展和可持续的方式实现这一目标？该领域的主要趋势是什么？哪些力量在推动变革？是什么阻碍了进一步的进展？需要进一步研究的技术、社会、心理和法律问题是什么？我们对人机交互研究及其目标的信念是什么？未来十年的资金重点是什么？联邦、非营利和商业部门在塑造以人为本的未来愿景方面各自扮演什么角色？讲习班的成果将收录在一份讲习班报告中，并分发给美国国家科学基金会和研究界。

Institution: Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), University of North Carolina at Chapel HillPrincipal Investigator: Marilyn LombardiToday's graphical user interfaces continue to rely on WIMP (windows, icons, menus, pointing device) technology first developed in the 1960's. High performance computational science is still commonly performed in batch mode, since today's HPC architectures and software do not support real time interaction between scientists and HPC applications. How can cutting edge 21st century interaction mechanisms enable high performance science and discovery? How can new technology make science come alive for students and the general public? Jointly sponsored by the NSF Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI) and the Computing and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) directorate, this two-day, invitation-only workshop will bring together a select group of thought leaders from industry and the academy to develop a guiding vision and a cross-cutting research agenda for human-centered interface and interaction design over the next decade. The workshop represents a critical step in moving beyond independent research projects toward coherent application of national resources in the area of human-centered interface and interaction design. Invitees drawn from computer science, engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, the cognitive sciences, perceptual psychology, neurobiology, architecture, design, and the interactive arts will work together to address a set of key questions: Where do we want to be by the year 2018? How do we plan on getting there in a scalable and sustainable fashion? What are the major trends in the field? Which forces are driving change? What impedes further progress? What are the technical, social, psychological, and legal issues requiring further study? What are our beliefs about human-computer interaction research and its goals? What are the funding priorities over the coming decade and what are the respective roles of the federal, non-profit, and commercial sectors in shaping the group's vision of a human-centered future? Workshop results will be captured in a workshop report and disseminated to the National Science Foundation and the research community.
