WORKSHOP: Student Travel Support for the CHI Mentoring Workshop

人机交互(HCI)的话题现在比计算史上的任何时候都更重要。随着计算机变得更小、更快、更无处不在，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，而且必须在包括台式机、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。人机界面的一个独特之处在于，它不仅需要研究计算，还需要研究计算和人的结合。由于人的参与，人机界面是一个领域，在我们建立的系统中，文化、社会经济背景、性别等方面都被考虑在内。这是一个明确的论据，表明应该发展一个多样化的研究人员领域，使他们在解决问题的技能方面具有广泛的经验。这笔资金将为CHINE 2010研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会将汇集大约40名学生和来自学术界和工业界的10位杰出演讲者，作为CRA(http://www.cra-w.org/cdc).)部分赞助的特定学科指导研讨会的一部分在过去的一年里，作为Richard Tapia计算多样性庆祝大会的联合主席，PI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。研讨会的演讲者将包括该领域的主要研究人员，他们将讨论一系列广泛的问题，从技术问题(如适当的评估方法)到一些当今的热门话题。研讨会将与将于4月10日至15日在亚特兰大举行的ACM 2010年计算系统中的人为因素会议(CHI 2010)并列举行，并由计算机械协会的人机交互特别兴趣小组(SIGCHI)赞助；这是介绍和讨论与人机交互相关的研究和实践的领先国际论坛，来自世界各地的约2,500名人机交互专业人士参加了会议。研讨会在CHI 2010大会的网站上被宣传为“主办的活动”。讲习班赞助商目前包括疾病控制与预防中心/社区研究与发展中心和EL联盟，私人投资机构正在向工业界募集额外资金。NSF的资金将用于支付9名非本地学生参加活动的旅费。广泛的影响：PIs做出了认真而成功的努力，吸引了来自HBCU(历史上的黑人学院和大学)、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。CHINE 2010将利用该领域成功的STEM专业人员的累积经验，提供一个独特的论坛，在其中展示不同研究人员在计算领域的技术成就，并鼓励来自代表性不足群体的新一代研究人员。由于它的重点是人机界面的研究生，研讨会的定位将对这一领域的未来教师和研究人员产生直接影响。它将为人机界面领域中代表性不足的少数民族博士生提供一个高度技术性和支持性的环境，讨论他们的研究，并从专家那里获得建设性的反馈，以及建立网络和同行指导的机会。

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.
