This is funding to support a doctoral consortium (workshop) of approximately 10 graduate students along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place on Thursday, August 5, 2010, immediately preceding the 2010 International Conference on Cognitive Modeling (ICCM) to be held August 6-8, 2010, at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Cognitive modeling has emerged over the last twenty years as an important discipline, both for advancing our understanding of the mind and for developing real-world applications that save money and lives. Using computers to model the mind has also opened up the application of our theories of the mind to real world applications, from being able to better design human-computer interfaces, to evaluating task workload and predicting human performance in mission-critical roles, to creating simulations of humans that participate in large-scale training exercises. ICCM is the premier international forum for research on computational models and computation-based theories of human behavior. It fills a critical niche between other related conferences, in that conference topics span the complete spectrum of cognitive models including connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive architectures. ICCM includes basic and applied research across a wide variety of domains, ranging from low-level perception and attention to higher-level problem-solving and learning. More information about the conference is available at http://iccm2010.cs.drexel.edu.The doctoral consortium will bring together the top graduate students in cognitive modeling from around the world. Each student will have about 20-30 minutes to present his/her thesis research. Students will get feedback from the other students, as well as comments and mentoring from three senior leaders in the field. The mentors will be picked for their ability to work with students, as well as for their breadth of expertise (cognitive modeling is a broad field with many different methodologies, and the workshop organizers plan to ensure that the mentors represent the breadth of the field). At the conclusion of the daylong consortium sessions, the entire group (students and mentors) will enjoy a dinner at a local restaurant for less formal but still valuable discussions and interaction. The conference proper begins the following day, at which the students can now mingle with the larger community both in the conference sessions and at the conference reception. Drexel University has graciously agreed to contribute space, audio/visual, and networking facilities for the doctoral consortium as part of their support for the ICCM conference, and will not charge overhead on the NSF funding.Broader Impacts: To keep refreshing and renewing research, it is necessary to continually bring new investigators into the field. The doctoral consortium is an important avenue for helping graduate students successfully transition to independent researchers. Thus, a primary objective of the consortium is to serve as a first step in creating a diverse cohort of students and future researchers, by bringing them together so that they can build up a network of contacts, both with senior leaders in the field and with other students who will be active in the field for years to come. Participants will be encouraged to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development, to form collaborative relationships, and perhaps to generate new research questions to be addressed during the coming years. The workshop organizers will make a particular effort to recruit students from under-represented groups (including women, minorities, and persons with disabilities), as well as students from smaller schools and/or schools with less established research centers.

这笔资金用于支持一个由大约10名研究生沿着以及杰出的研究人员组成的博士联合会（讲习班）。 该活动将于2010年8月5日（星期四）在费城德雷克塞尔大学举行的2010年认知建模国际会议（ICCM）之前举行。 认知建模在过去的20年里已经成为一门重要的学科，既可以促进我们对思维的理解，也可以开发节省金钱和生命的现实世界应用程序。 使用计算机对思维进行建模也使我们的思维理论在真实的世界中得到了应用，从能够更好地设计人机界面，到评估任务工作量和预测人类在关键任务中的表现，再到创建参与大规模训练演习的人类模拟。 ICCM是研究计算模型和基于计算的人类行为理论的首要国际论坛。 它填补了其他相关会议之间的关键利基，因为会议主题涵盖了认知模型的完整频谱，包括联结主义，符号建模，动力系统，贝叶斯建模和认知架构。 国际化学品管理大会包括基础和应用研究，涉及广泛的领域，从低层次的感知和注意力到高层次的问题解决和学习。 有关会议的更多信息可在http://iccm2010.cs.drexel.edu.The博士联盟将汇集来自世界各地的认知建模顶尖研究生。 每个学生将有大约20-30分钟的时间来介绍他/她的论文研究。 学生将得到其他学生的反馈，以及该领域三位高级领导人的评论和指导。 导师将根据他们与学生合作的能力以及他们的专业知识广度进行挑选（认知建模是一个具有许多不同方法的广泛领域，研讨会组织者计划确保导师代表该领域的广度）。 在为期一天的联盟会议结束时，整个小组（学生和导师）将在当地餐厅享用晚餐，进行不那么正式但仍然有价值的讨论和互动。 第二天会议正式开始，学生们现在可以在会议和会议招待会上与更大的社区交流。 德雷克塞尔大学已欣然同意为博士联盟提供空间，音频/视频和网络设施，作为他们对ICCM会议的支持的一部分，并且不会收取NSF资金的管理费用。更广泛的影响：为了保持更新和更新研究，有必要不断地将新的研究人员带入该领域。 博士联盟是帮助研究生成功过渡到独立研究人员的重要途径。 因此，该联盟的主要目标是作为第一步，建立一个多样化的学生和未来的研究人员群体，将他们聚集在一起，使他们能够建立一个联系网络，与该领域的高级领导人和其他学生谁将在该领域活跃多年。 将鼓励参与者在他们自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立社会网络，以形成合作关系，并可能产生未来几年要解决的新研究问题。 讲习班的组织者将特别努力从代表性不足的群体（包括妇女、少数民族和残疾人）中招收学生，以及从规模较小的学校和/或研究中心较少的学校招收学生。
