This is funding to support a Doctoral Colloquium (workshop) of promising doctoral students and distinguished research faculty, to be held in conjunction with this year's IEEE VisWeek Conference, which will take place October 11-16, 2009, in Atlantic City, NJ. Visualization, or the use of interactive graphics to support data analysis and understanding, has become an integral part and critical component of many application areas. VisWeek consists of three main events: IEEE Visualization (Vis), IEEE Information Visualization (InfoVis), and the IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology Symposium (VAST). IEEE Vis is the oldest of the three venues of VisWeek, and will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. Its traditional focus has been on a wide range of topics in scientific and medical visualization. InfoVis centers around helping people explore or explain abstract data through interactive software that exploits the capabilities of the human perceptual system, focusing on cognitively useful spatial mappings of abstract datasets that are not inherently spatial, and accompanying the mappings with interaction techniques that allow people to intuitively explore the data. VAST, the youngest event, was founded in 2006 to address the growing interest in the science of analytical reasoning supported by highly interactive visual interfaces; its focus is on visual analytics tools and techniques to synthesize information into knowledge, derive insight from massive, dynamic, and often conflicting data; detect the expected and discover the unexpected, provide timely, defensible, and understandable assessments, and communicate assessments effectively for action. IEEE VisWeek is the premier forum for visualization advances in science and engineering for academia, government, and industry, bringing together about 800 researchers and practitioners from around the world with a shared interest in techniques, tools, and technology. The papers published in the special conference issue of IEEE Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics are rigorously refereed and widely cited.The Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE VisWeek 2009 will bring together approximately 12 dissertation stage doctoral students in the field of visualization, from the United States and abroad, who will come together on Saturday, October 10, for a day of discussions and interaction with 6 faculty researchers, with follow-up events that will take place during the conference?s technical program. A primary goal of the colloquium is to allow students to discuss their research directions in a supportive atmosphere with a panel of distinguished leaders and with their peers, who will provide helpful feedback and fresh perspectives. The colloquium also supports community building, by connecting beginning and advanced researchers so as to build a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues across the world. Student research will be disseminated via posters during the VisWeek 2009 technical program, and via extended abstracts published in the VisWeek 2009 Extended Abstracts. Feedback about the Doctoral Colloquium will be provided to future conference committees. The PI has affirmed that in managing this event he and his colleagues will try explicitly to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants, and that they will ensure that NSF funds are used chiefly to support participation by students enrolled in graduate programs in the United States.Broader Impacts: The VisWeek Doctoral Colloquium has taken place annually at the Visualization conference since 2006, and has helped launch the careers of a number of outstanding young Vis researchers. It brings together the best of the next generation of visualization researchers, and allows them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers, which plays a major role in their enculturation into the profession. Since the students and faculty are a diverse group on several dimensions (nationality, scientific discipline, research specialization), the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development.

这笔资金用于支持一个由有前途的博士生和杰出的研究人员组成的博士座谈会(研讨会)，该研讨会将与今年的IEEE VisWeek会议一起举行，该会议将于2009年10月11日至16日在新泽西州大西洋城举行。可视化，或使用交互式图形来支持数据分析和理解，已经成为许多应用领域不可或缺的组成部分和关键组件。VisWeek由三个主要活动组成：IEEE可视化(VIS)、IEEE信息可视化(INFOVIS)和IEEE可视化分析科学与技术研讨会(VAST)。IEEE VIS是VisWeek三个场馆中历史最悠久的一个，今年将庆祝其成立20周年。它的传统重点一直是科学和医学可视化中的广泛主题。InfoVis的核心是通过交互式软件帮助人们探索或解释抽象数据，该软件利用人类感知系统的能力，专注于抽象数据集的认知有用的空间映射，这些映射本质上不是空间的，并伴随着交互技术，允许人们直观地探索数据。Vavast是最年轻的活动，成立于2006年，目的是满足人们对高度交互的可视界面支持的分析推理科学日益增长的兴趣；它的重点是将信息综合成知识的视觉分析工具和技术，从海量、动态和经常相互冲突的数据中获得洞察力；检测预期和发现意外的情况，提供及时、可辩护和可理解的评估，并有效地传达评估以供采取行动。IEEE VisWeek是学术界、政府和工业界科学和工程可视化进展的主要论坛，聚集了来自世界各地的约800名研究人员和从业人员，他们对技术、工具和技术有着共同的兴趣。发表在IEEE可视化和计算机图形学特刊上的论文经过严格的参考和广泛的引用。2009年IEEE VisWeek的博士座谈会将汇集来自美国和国外的大约12名可视化领域的博士研究生，他们将于10月10日(星期六)聚集在一起，与6名教职研究人员进行为期一天的讨论和互动，会议期间将发生后续活动？S技术计划。座谈会的一个主要目标是让学生在支持性的氛围中与一群杰出的领导者和他们的同行讨论他们的研究方向，他们将提供有用的反馈和新的观点。座谈会还支持社区建设，将初级和高级研究人员联系起来，以建立一个新的研究人员群体，然后他们将在世界各地建立一个同事网络。学生研究将在VisWeek 2009技术计划期间通过海报传播，并通过在VisWeek 2009扩展摘要中发布的扩展摘要进行传播。关于博士座谈会的反馈将提供给未来的会议委员会。PI确认，在管理这一活动时，他和他的同事将明确尝试确定并纳入最广泛的高资质参与者群体，并确保NSF资金主要用于支持在美国注册的研究生项目的参与。广泛的影响：VisWeek博士座谈会自2006年以来每年在可视化会议上举行，并帮助启动了许多优秀的年轻VIS研究人员的职业生涯。它汇聚了下一代可视化研究人员中的佼佼者，并允许他们在自己之间以及与资深研究人员之间创建一个社交网络，这在他们融入该职业的过程中发挥了重要作用。由于学生和教职员工在几个维度(国籍、科学学科、研究专业)上是一个多元化的群体，学生的视野在他们专业发展的关键阶段得到了开阔。
