This is funding to support a doctoral research symposium (workshop) of approximately 8 promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad, along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place in conjunction with and immediately preceding the 22nd ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST 2009), to be held October 4-7 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Human Computer Interaction (SIGCHI). The UIST conference is the premier international forum for presenting innovations in the software and technology of human computer interaction. It brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas that include traditional graphical and web user interfaces, tangible and ubiquitous computing, virtual and augmented reality, multimedia, new input and output devices, and computer-supported cooperative work. Although UIST is a long-standing annual conference, this workshop will be just the 7th doctoral research symposium associated with the conference (NSF has supported these events from their inception). The three goals of this full-day event are to increase the exposure and visibility of the participants' work within the community, to help establish a sense of community among this next generation of researchers, and to help foster their research efforts by providing substantive feedback and guidance from a group of senior researchers in a supportive and interactive environment. Student participants will make formal presentations of their work during the workshop, and will receive feedback from a faculty panel. The feedback is geared to helping students 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, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Student position papers will be published in the UIST Conference Companion, and the students will also present posters relating to their work at a special session the first night of the conference. Broader Impacts: The doctoral symposium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in the field of user interface software and technology, by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior members of the research community. It will further help foster a sense of community among these young researchers, by allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Because the students and faculty constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field. The organizers of the event will make special efforts to attract students from institutions not historically heavily represented at UIST and to foster diversity across under-represented groups.

这笔资金用于支持一个博士研究研讨会(研讨会)，来自美国和海外的大约8名有前途的博士生与杰出的研究人员一起参加。这次活动将与第22届ACM用户界面软件和技术研讨会(UIST 2009)同时举行，并紧随其后，该研讨会将于10月4日至7日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市举行，由计算机械协会的人机交互特别兴趣小组(SIGCHI)赞助。UIST会议是展示人机交互软件和技术创新的主要国际论坛。它汇集了来自不同领域的研究人员和从业人员，包括传统的图形和网络用户界面、有形和无处不在的计算、虚拟和增强现实、多媒体、新的输入和输出设备以及计算机支持的协作工作。虽然UIST是一个长期的年度会议，但这次研讨会将只是与会议相关的第七次博士研究研讨会(NSF从一开始就支持这些活动)。这一全天活动的三个目标是增加参与者的工作在社区中的曝光率和知名度，帮助在下一代研究人员中建立社区意识，并通过在支持和互动的环境中提供一群资深研究人员的实质性反馈和指导来帮助促进他们的研究工作。学生参与者将在研讨会期间对他们的工作进行正式陈述，并将收到教员小组的反馈。这些反馈旨在帮助学生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，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和展示。学生立场论文将发表在UIST会议伙伴上，学生们还将在会议第一天晚上的特别会议上提交与他们的工作相关的海报。更广泛的影响：博士研讨会将有助于扩大在用户界面软件和技术领域攻读研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，使他们有机会在社区更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并从研究界的高级成员那里获得反馈和指导。它将进一步帮助培养这些年轻研究人员的社区意识，使他们能够在自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的资深研究人员建立一个社交网络。由于学生和教职员工在不同的维度上构成了一个不同的群体，学生的视野被拓宽到了该领域未来的利益。这次活动的组织者将特别努力吸引来自UIST历史上没有大量代表的机构的学生，并促进代表不足的群体的多样性。
