WORKSHOP: Social-Computational Systems (SoCS) Doctoral Symposium

人与计算机以社会智能方式共同工作的系统代表了一种新的计算形式，它将传统计算的挑战（例如，算法，信息表示，信息获取，数据质量）与人类交互的挑战（例如，认知，社会交互，文化，学习）以及与人与计算机结合相关的一系列新挑战(例如，关于人类知识和能力的计算机推理，社会智能人机交互，社会计算)。该奖项支持2011年6月9日的博士研讨会（DS），为正在开发社会科学相关研究课题的研究生提供支持。从事社会科学研究的博士生面临着许多挑战，包括定义跨越计算和人类因素的研究，但也为他们的研究确定有意义的评估（通常在缺乏密切先例的情况下），并定位他们的研究以满足学科论文委员会的要求。博士研讨会将帮助学生完善他们的论文项目，使他们能够更好地为解决这些智力挑战做出贡献，并帮助他们建立博士生和更多资深研究人员的社会网络，以支持他们的职业生涯。这项工作既有短期效益，也有长期效益。在短期内，研究小组将会为被选为研究小组成员的学生提供重要的反馈意见。从长远来看，我们期望参加DS的学生将有助于建立社会科学和社会科学相关主题的关键研究轨迹。参加社会科学研究的学生将有能力向可能对社会科学主题感兴趣的同龄人提供反馈。

Systems in which people and computers work together in a socially intelligent manner represent a new form of computing that brings together the challenges of traditional computing (e.g., algorithms, information representation, information acquisition, data quality) with those of human interaction (e.g., cognition, social interaction, culture, learning) and indeed a whole host of new challenges related to the combination of humans and computers (e.g., computer reasoning about human knowledge and abilities, socially-intelligent human-computer interaction, social computing). This award supports a Doctoral Symposium (DS), June 9, 2011 for graduate students who are developing SoCS related research topics. Doctoral students pursing SoCS research face numerous challenges, including defining research that spans computing and human elements, but also identifying meaningful evaluation for their research (often in the absence of close precedents) and positioning their research to fulfill the requirements of disciplinary dissertation committees. The doctoral symposium will help students hone their dissertation projects so that they can make better contributions to the solution of these intellectual challenges, and also help them build a social network of fellow doctoral students and more senior researchers to support their careers.There are both short and long-term benefits from this work. In the short term, the DS will provide significant feedback to the students selected to participate in the DS. In the long-term, we expect that students who participate in the DS will help establish critical research trajectories for SoCS and SoCS related topics. Students who participate in the DS will be well positioned to provide feedback to their peers who may also be interested in SoCS topics.
