Workshop: Graduate Student Consortium at Tangible Embedded Interaction 2010

计算正在超越桌面，进入新的物理和社交环境。创新的一个关键领域是有形计算，它通过移动设备、可掌握的界面、物理计算和交互表面将用户界面从屏幕推向物理世界。密切相关的是嵌入式交互，在这种交互中，我们与之交互的日常对象和环境以新的方式在计算上得到增强。随着物理构件获得新的计算行为，它们变得可重新编程、可定制、可重用，并可在丰富的生态环境和不同的上下文中进行互操作。它们也变得更加复杂，需要大量的设计工作才能实现功能性、可用性和趣味性。设计这样的系统需要跨学科的思考，使它们不仅包括软件、电子和机械的技术知识，还包括系统物理形式和行为的使用影响及其对社会的影响。这笔资金用于支持一个由大约12名来自美国和海外的有前途的博士生以及杰出的研究人员组成的研究联盟(研讨会)。这次活动将与ACM SIGCHI TEI-10会议一起举行，该会议将于2010年1月25日至27日在马萨诸塞州剑桥市的麻省理工学院媒体实验室举行。TEI会议系列于2007年推出，目前已进入第四个年头，聚集了在有形、嵌入和具体化互动这一新兴领域工作的研究人员、设计师、工程师和艺术家。它为涉及有形事物的不同研究和实践社区提供了一个聚会场所，涉及的主题从计算、硬件和传感器技术，到人机界面、交互设计和CSCW，再到产品和工业设计以及交互艺术。这个单轨会议的亲密规模(每年约150人参加)为通过演讲、互动展览、演示、海报、艺术装置和表演交流思想提供了一个独特的论坛。这次会议的网站是http://www.tei-conf.org/10.The TEI-10研究生研讨会，该研讨会将在1月24日周日的主要会议之前举行，将邀请来自TEI领域的12名研究生与4名教师导师一起参加对他们工作的批判性讨论和回顾。学生们将在会议上以海报的形式展示他们的作品，他们的短文将被包括在会议记录中。此外，加入研究生联盟的学生将有机会与他们的同龄人和四名在该领域经验丰富的教师导师一起审查他们的研究，他们将从不同的角度建设性地批评学生的工作。更广泛的影响：这次研讨会将磨练新一代科学家、工程师和设计师的研究技能，他们将塑造以人为中心的计算，因为它发生在物理事物和地方。我们已经在观察这一领域在我们日常生活中的影响，因为计算已经嵌入到我们的手机、公交车站，很快甚至我们的衣服中。现在是该领域的关键时刻，因为早期探索原型的浪潮开始让位于有纪律的调查、工具包的开发和更严格的评估方法。如果该领域要在人类计算研究的学术基础上站稳脚跟，保持最初的活力和开放性，指导下一代TEI研究人员至关重要。研究生联合会将通过允许12名年轻学者参加TEI 2010会议来扩大参与范围。TEI组委会将特别努力招募不同的学生参与者，特别是寻找计算机和信息科学与工程领域代表性不足的群体的成员，包括女性和美国少数群体成员。委员会特别关注代表人数不足的群体越来越多地参加会议，并将确保残疾人与会者能够参加会议。

Computing is moving beyond the desktop into new physical and social contexts. One key area of innovation has been tangible computing, which pushes the user interface beyond the screen into the physical world by means of mobile devices, graspable interfaces, physical computing, and interactive surfaces. Closely related is embedded interaction in which the everyday objects and environments we interact with are computationally augmented in new ways. As physical artifacts gain new computational behaviors, they become reprogrammable, customizable, repurposeable, and interoperable in rich ecologies and diverse contexts. They also become more complex, and require intense design effort in order to be functional, usable, and enjoyable. Designing such systems requires interdisciplinary thinking, and making them encompasses not only technical knowledge of software, electronics, and mechanics, but also the use implications of a system's physical form and behavior as well as its impacts on society.This is funding to support a research consortium (workshop) of approximately a dozen promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad, along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place in conjunction with the ACM SIGCHI TEI-10 conference, which will be held January 25-27, 2010, at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, MA. Launched in 2007 and now in its fourth year, the TEI conference series brings together researchers, designers, engineers, and artists who are working in the emerging field of tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction. It provides a meeting ground for the diverse communities of research and practice involved with tangibles, spanning topics ranging from computing, hardware, and sensor technology, to HCI, interaction design, and CSCW, to product and industrial design and interactive arts. The intimate size of this single-track conference (about 150 participants annually) provides a unique forum for exchanging ideas through talks, interactive exhibits, demos, posters, art installations and performances. The Web site for the conference is http://www.tei-conf.org/10.The TEI-10 Graduate Student Symposium, which will immediately precede the main conference on Sunday, January 24, will invite twelve graduate students from TEI fields to participate in a critical discussion and review of their work with four faculty mentors. Students will present their work in posters at the conference and their short papers will be included in the conference Proceedings. In addition, students enrolled in the Graduate Student Consortium will have the opportunity to review their research with their peers and with four faculty mentors experienced in the field who will constructively critique the students' work from diverse viewpoints. Broader Impacts: This workshop will sharpen the research skills of a new generation of scientists, engineers, and designers who will shape human-centered computing as it takes place in physical things and places. Already we are observing the impact of this field in our daily lives, as computing becomes embedded in our phones, our bus stops, and soon even our clothing. Now is a critical moment in the field, as a wave of early exploratory prototypes begins to give way to disciplined investigations, the development of toolkits, and more rigorous evaluation methods. Mentoring a next generation of TEI researchers is crucial if the field is to retain its initial vigor and openness as it gains foothold in the academic establishment of human-computing research. The Graduate Student Consortium will broaden participation in the TEI 2010 conference by enabling 12 young scholars to attend. The TEI organizing committee will make special efforts to recruit a diverse set of student participants, particularly seeking members of groups that are under-represented in computer and information science and engineering, including women and members of U.S. minority populations. The committee is particularly concerned with increasing participation of underrepresented groups and will also ensure that the meeting is accessible to participants with disabilities.
