WORKSHOP: Creating a Research Agenda in Computing at the Margins

“创建一个研究议程计算在边缘”是一个研讨会，旨在帮助阐明一组智力挑战，应该由CISE研究人员解决，因为他们设计和开发的信息和计算技术是面向人谁不是目前在一组已经得到良好服务的技术用户。这包括美国国内代表性不足的人口，第三世界新兴市场的人口以及经济弱势群体。人们普遍假设，增加接入就能消除数字鸿沟，但这可能实际上是错误的。实际上，可能需要的是根本不同的技术-以设计和评价方法和理论的新进展为基础，沿着技术创新-以了解这些系统所针对的社区的独特限制和考虑为基础。已有证据表明，地方在基础设施、文化、文化或经济模式方面的差异，可以而且已经促进了用户体验方法和理论的科学创新，以及系统和网络技术和算法的进步，由此产生的研究议程将刺激技术创新，支持技术的创造、部署和评估，让更多的人享受数字社会的好处。它将通过使参与者多样化来丰富数字社会。满足社会更广泛需求的新技术和新工艺是一个重要的教育机会。作为一项研究议程，它有可能向下一代研究人员和工程师传授一套技能，帮助他们建立满足社会各部门需求的技术。

"Creating a Research Agenda in Computing at the Margins" is a workshop designed to help articulate a set of intellectual challenges that should be addressed by CISE researchers as they design and develop information and computing technology that is oriented toward people who are not currently in the set of already well-served technology users. This includes underrepresented populations within the United States, populations who encompass emerging markets in the third world, as well as the economic disadvantaged. The common assumption that increased access resolves the digital divide may actually be false. Indeed, what may be needed are fundamentally different kinds of technologies -- based on new advances in the methods and theories of design and evaluation, along with technological innovation -- grounded in an understanding of the unique constraints and considerations of the communities for which those systems are intended. Evidence already suggests that local differences in infrastructure, literacy, culture, or economic models, can and have fostered scientific innovations in user experience methods and theories, advances in systems and networking technologies and algorithms.The resulting research agenda will stimulate technical innovation that will support the creation, deployment, and assessment of technologies that allow ever more people to enjoy the benefits of the digital society. It will enrich the digital society by diversifying those who participate. New techniques and technology that addresses the wider needs of society is an important educational opportunity. As a research agenda it has the potential to teach the next generation of researchers and engineers a set of skills that help them build technologies that respond to the needs of all sectors of society.
