Wikisym Doctoral Consortium

这笔资金用于支持一个由来自美国和海外的大约8名有前途的研究生组成的博士联盟(研讨会)，以及一个由大约5名杰出的研究人员导师组成的小组。此次活动将与将于2011年10月3-5日在加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托举行的第七届国际ACM Wiki与开放协作研讨会(Wikiym 2011)同时举行。Wikiym是将致力于开放协作的研究人员、实践者和企业家聚集在一起的领先国际论坛。开放协作的主题是研究在开源软件和社区中发现的协作形式，如维基百科、雅虎！答案，斯拉什朵，还有迪格。这样的系统已经显示出从创造技术中获得的力量，这些技术使分布在各地的大型群体能够协作地创造具有持久价值的艺术品。Wikiym大会每年有来自世界各地的约100人参加。它的会议记录发表在ACM数字图书馆上，被认为是该领域的档案工作。博士联盟是一个由8-15名精选的博士候选人和四名杰出研究人员组成的小组在Wikiym会议上举行的以研究为重点的会议。博士联盟将于10月2日举行，也就是活动之前。博士联合会主席是Loren Terveen(美国明尼苏达大学)。WikiSym博士联盟在过去三年中成功地吸引了国际和跨学科的学生群体。它帮助新的研究人员发展同行关系，并与经验丰富的研究人员和从业者建立关系。它还为这些新的研究人员提供专家反馈，并允许他们参加专注于开放合作的领先国际会议。博主影响：一年一度的Wikiym博士联盟传统上将开放合作中最优秀的下一代研究人员聚集在一起，使他们能够在他们自己之间以及与处于其专业发展关键阶段的资深研究人员创建一个社交网络。鼓励所有研究与Wikiym相关的博士生申请，无论他们在哪个领域获得学位。广泛的相关学科和方法鼓励参与，包括(但不限于)计算机科学、社会学、心理学、人类学、信息科学、认知科学、修辞学、传播学和经济学。虽然NSF的资金将主要用于支持在美国注册的研究生项目的学生参与，但一些国际参与者也可能得到支持，因为认识到Wikiym领域接受的教育和文化传统在世界不同地区有所不同。组织者将明确尝试确定并纳入最广泛的高资质参与者群体。作为这些步骤的结果，学生和教师参与者将在不同的维度组成一个多样化的群体，这将有助于拓宽学生的视野，使其未来受益于该领域。

This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) of approximately 8 promising graduate students from the United States and abroad, along with a panel of about 5 distinguished research faculty mentors. The event will take place in conjunction with the 7th International ACM Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration (Wikisym 2011), which will be held October 3-5 2011.in Palo Alto, CA. Wikisym is the leading international forum for bringing together researchers, practitioners, and entrepreneurs working on open collaboration. The topic of open collaboration is the study of the forms of collaboration found in open source software and communities such as Wikipedia, Yahoo! Answers, Slashdot,and Digg. Such systems have shown the power to be gained from creating technologies that enable large distributed groups of people to collaboratively create artifacts of lasting value. The Wikisym conference is attended each year by approximately 100 people from around the world. Its proceedings are published in the ACM Digital library and are considered archival work in the field.The Doctoral Consortium is a research-focused meeting of a group of 8-15 selected Ph.D. candidates and a panel of four distinguished research faculty that takes place at the Wikisym conference. The Doctoral Consortium will take place on October 2nd, preceding the event. The Doctoral Consortium Chair is Loren Terveen (University of Minnesota, USA). The WikiSym Doctoral Consortium has been successful for the past three years in attracting an international and interdisciplinary student constituency. It helps new researchers develop peer relationships and relationships with experienced researchers and practitioners. It also offers these new researchers expert feedback and allows them to attend and participate in the leading international conference focused on open collaboration.Broader impacts: The annual Wikisym doctoral consortia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in open collaboration, allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Applications are encouraged from all doctoral students whose research is Wikisym-related, regardless of the fields in which they are earning their degrees. Participation is encouraged from a broad range of relevant disciplines and approaches, including (but not limited to) computer science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, information science, cognitive science, rhetoric, communications, and economics. While NSF funds will be used chiefly to support participation by students enrolled in graduate programs in the United States, some international participants may be supported as well in recognition of the fact that the Wikisym field embraces educational and cultural traditions that vary in different parts of the world. The organizers will try explicitly to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants. As a consequence of these steps, the student and faculty participants will constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, which will help broaden the students' horizons to the future benefit of the field.
