WORKSHOP: Student Travel Support for the CHI Mentoring Workshop

人机交互（HCI）的主题现在比计算历史上任何时候都更加重要。随着计算机变得越来越小、越来越快、越来越普遍，我们有效使用它们的能力变得至关重要。我们不仅必须设计可用的系统，而且必须在包括桌面、移动电话和嵌入式系统在内的快速变化的计算硬件环境中这样做。HCI的一个独特之处在于，它不仅需要研究计算，还需要研究计算与人的结合。由于人的参与，HCI是一个在我们建立的系统中考虑文化、社会经济背景、性别等方面的领域。这是一个明确的论点，支持发展多样化领域的研究人员，这些研究人员在解决问题的技能方面具有广泛的经验。这笔资金将为CHIMe 2010研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会将汇集大约40名学生和10名来自学术界和工业界的杰出演讲者，作为特定学科指导研讨会的一部分，部分由CRA赞助（http://www.cra-w.org/cdc）。这两位pi是去年理查德·塔皮亚计算机多样性庆祝大会的联合主席，他们制定了一个由演讲、小组讨论和海报会议组成的计划，旨在告知、激励和鼓励我们未来的科学家。研讨会发言人将包括该领域的主要研究人员，他们将讨论从技术问题（例如适当的评估方法）到当今一些热门话题的广泛问题。该研讨会将与ACM 2010年计算系统中的人为因素会议（CHI 2010）同时举行，该会议将于4月10日至15日在亚特兰大举行，由计算机械协会人机交互特别兴趣小组（SIGCHI）赞助；这是介绍和讨论人机交互相关研究和实践的主要国际论坛，来自世界各地的约2,500名HCI专业人员参加了会议。该研讨会在CHI 2010会议网站上被称为“主办活动”。研讨会的赞助者目前包括CDC/CRA-W和EL联盟，pi正在向工业界征求额外的资金。国家科学基金将用于支付9名非本地学生参加活动的交通费。更广泛的影响：pi已经做出了认真和成功的努力，以吸引来自HBCU（传统黑人学院和大学），HSI（西班牙裔服务机构），ACU（阿巴拉契亚学院和大学）和TCU（部落学院和大学）机构的参与者。CHIMe 2010将利用成功的STEM专业人士在该领域积累的经验，提供一个独特的论坛，展示不同研究人员在计算方面的技术成就，并鼓励来自代表性不足群体的新一代研究人员。该研讨会的重点是HCI的研究生，它将对这一领域的未来教师和研究人员产生直接影响。它将为HCI领域未被充分代表的少数民族博士生提供一个高度技术性和支持性的环境，以讨论他们的研究并从专家那里获得建设性的反馈，以及建立网络和同侪指导的机会。

The topic of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is more important now than at any other time in the history of computing. As computers become smaller, faster, and more ubiquitous, our ability to use them effectively becomes critical. Not only must we design usable systems, but we must do so in a rapidly changing landscape of computing hardware that includes desktops, mobile phones, and embedded systems. A unique aspect of HCI is that it requires the study of not just computing, but of the combination of computing and people. Because people are involved, HCI is a field where aspects such as culture, socio-economic background, gender, etc., are considered in the systems that we build. This is a clear argument for the development of a diverse field of researchers who bring to bear a wide range of experiences in their problem solving skills.This is funding to provide partial support for the CHIMe 2010 workshop, which will bring together approximately 40 students and 10 distinguished speakers from academia and industry as part of the Discipline-specific Mentoring Workshops sponsored in part by CRA (http://www.cra-w.org/cdc). The PIs, who were co-chairs of the Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference this past year, have put together a program that consists of presentations, panels, and a poster session designed to inform, inspire, and encourage our future scientists. Workshop speakers will include leading researchers in the field, who will address a broad range of issues ranging from technical concerns (such as appropriate evaluation methods) to some of today's hot topics. The workshop will be collocated with the ACM 2010 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2010), which will be held April 10-15 in Atlanta, and is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction (SIGCHI); this is the leading international forum for the presentation and discussion of research and practice relating to human-computer interaction, and is attended by approximately 2,500 HCI professionals from around the world. The workshop is advertised on the CHI 2010 Conference website as a "Hosted Event." Workshop sponsors currently include the CDC/CRA-W and EL Alliance, and the PIs are soliciting additional funding from industry. NSF funds will be used to cover the travel costs of 9 non-local students to participate in the event.Broader Impacts: The PIs have made a serious and successful effort to attract participants from HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), HSI (Hispanic-Serving Institutions), ACU (Appalachian Colleges and Universities), and TCU (Tribal Colleges and Universities) institutions. CHIMe 2010 will harness the cumulative experience of successful STEM professionals in the field to provide a unique forum in which to showcase the technical achievements of diverse researchers in computing and to encourage a new generation of researchers from underrepresented groups. With its focus on graduate students in HCI, the workshop will be positioned to have a direct impact on future faculty and researchers in this area of endeavor. It will provide a highly technical and supportive environment for underrepresented minority doctoral students in the field of HCI to discuss their research and to receive constructive feedback from experts, along with an opportunity for networking and peer mentoring.
