This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) for approximately 12 graduate students, along with a panel of 4 distinguished research faculty mentors. The event will take place in conjunction with the Seventh International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams (DIAGRAMS 2012), to be held July 2-6, 2012, on the campus of the University of Kent, UK. Diagrams are wide-ranging and open-ended representations that include sketches, drawings, charts, pictures, 2D and 3D geometric models, and maps. They are a vital tool in human communication in areas such as art and science, as well as commerce and industry. A better understanding of how effective diagrams can be generated and used has the potential to produce transformative advances in these areas. DIAGRAMS is a bi-annual, international conference series that covers all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams. The goals of the interdisciplinary conference are to present and discuss (a) state-of-the-art research on computational, cognitive and socio-cultural theories, models and techniques of reasoning with diagrammatic representations, and (b) cutting-edge intelligent and interactive information technologies for using diagrammatic representations in supporting human reasoning. Research topics include understanding diagrammatic reasoning in humans, understanding the use of diagrammatic representation for communication, developing techniques for automated diagrammatic reasoning, and designing tools for use of diagrammatic representations. DIAGRAMS is the only conference that provides a united forum for all areas that are concerned with the study of diagrams. The conference series is overseen by the Diagrams Steering Committee with a rotating membership; more information is available at the conference website http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2012. The primary goal of the DIAGRAMS 2012 Doctoral Consortium is to increase the exposure and visibility of young graduate student researchers in these areas. The workshop will be a research-focused day-long meeting that affords participants an opportunity to present their work and get feedback from established researchers in the field, who will be present to comment on the young researchers' presentations in an informal and constructive environment. Each invited participant will be asked to give a short talk, which will be followed by discussion and critiquing. For some students, this may be their first opportunity to give a research talk outside their home institutions, which will help prepare them for future scholarly discussions.Broader Impacts: DIAGRAMS 2012 will significantly increase our understanding of diagrammatic reasoning in humans and machines, and will add momentum to the development of new information technologies for the use of diagrammatic representations in support of human reasoning. The conference will help develop human research capital by enabling interactions between senior and junior researchers and by catalyzing new collaborations. The doctoral consortium will increase the exposure and visibility of young graduate student researchers in these areas, and help train them by providing early input from senior researchers in the field in an interactive and constructive environment. The social network among this next generation of researchers, and the relationships with senior researchers, created by the workshop will play a critical role in their enculturation into the profession. The organizers will be proactive in order to ensure that both students and faculty are a diverse group across multiple dimensions including nationality, scientific discipline, gender, institutional affiliation, and under-represented minority status.

这笔资金用于支持大约12名研究生的博士联盟（讲习班），沿着有4名杰出的研究教师导师组成的小组。 该活动将与2012年7月2日至6日在英国肯特大学校园举行的第七届国际图表理论与应用会议（DIAGRAMS 2012）一起举行。 图表是范围广泛的开放式表示形式，包括草图、绘图、图表、图片、2D和3D几何模型以及地图。 它们是人类在艺术和科学以及商业和工业等领域交流的重要工具。 更好地理解如何生成和使用有效的图表有可能在这些领域产生变革性的进步。 DIAGRAMS是一年两次的国际会议系列，涵盖了图表理论和应用研究的各个方面。 跨学科会议的目标是介绍和讨论（一）国家的最先进的研究计算，认知和社会文化理论，模型和技术的推理与图形表示，和（B）尖端的智能和交互式信息技术，使用图形表示在支持人类推理。 研究主题包括理解人类的图解推理，理解使用图解表示进行通信，开发自动图解推理技术，以及设计使用图解表示的工具。 DIAGRAMS是唯一一个为所有与图表研究有关的领域提供统一论坛的会议。 该系列会议由Diagrams指导委员会负责监督，该委员会成员轮换;更多信息可在会议网站http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2012上获得。 DIAGRAMS 2012博士联盟的主要目标是增加这些领域的年轻研究生研究人员的曝光率和知名度。 研讨会将是一个以研究为重点的为期一天的会议，让与会者有机会介绍他们的工作，并从该领域的知名研究人员那里获得反馈，他们将在非正式和建设性的环境中对年轻研究人员的发言发表评论。 每位受邀参加者将被要求做一个简短的演讲，然后进行讨论和评论。 对于一些学生来说，这可能是他们第一次有机会在他们的家乡机构之外做研究演讲，这将有助于他们为未来的学术讨论做好准备。更广泛的影响：DIAGRAMS 2012将大大增加我们对人类和机器的图解推理的理解，并将为使用图解表示支持人类推理的新信息技术的发展增添动力。 会议将通过促进高级和初级研究人员之间的互动以及促进新的合作来帮助开发人力研究资本。博士联合会将增加年轻研究生研究人员在这些领域的曝光率和知名度，并通过在互动和建设性的环境中提供该领域高级研究人员的早期投入来帮助培训他们。 下一代研究人员之间的社交网络，以及与高级研究人员的关系，由研讨会创建，将在他们融入专业文化中发挥关键作用。 组织者将积极主动，以确保学生和教师是一个多元化的群体，包括国籍，科学学科，性别，机构隶属关系和代表性不足的少数民族地位。
