Workshop: Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE VisWeek 2012

这是资助约12个博士论文阶段的博士生，在各种可视化子领域，为一天的讨论和与6名杰出的研究教师互动，将与今年的IEEE VisWeek会议，这将在10月14日至19日的一周内举行，2012年，在西雅图。 可视化，或使用交互式图形来支持数据分析和理解，已成为许多应用领域的一个组成部分和关键组成部分。 IEEE VisWeek是学术界、政府和工业界在科学和工程可视化方面取得进展的首要论坛，目前汇集了来自世界各地的约900名研究人员和从业人员，他们对技术、工具和技术有着共同的兴趣。 VisWeek包括第23届IEEE科学可视化会议（SciVis），第18届IEEE信息可视化会议（InfoVis）和第7届IEEE可视化分析科学与技术研讨会（VAST）。 今年同期举办的研讨会包括IEEE大规模数据分析和可视化研讨会（LDAV）、IEEE生物数据可视化研讨会（BioVis）和网络安全可视化国际研讨会（VisSec）。 发表在IEEE Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics的特别会议期刊上的论文经过严格的评审并被广泛引用。 IEEE VisWeek的博士研讨会是一个以研究为重点的会议，自2006年以来每年在可视化会议上举行，并帮助启动了一些杰出的年轻研究人员的职业生涯。 2012年，研讨会将于10月14日（星期日）或10月15日（星期一）举行，并在VisWeek技术计划期间举行后续活动。 博士学术讨论会的主要目标是让学生在一个支持性的气氛中讨论他们的研究方向与杰出的领导人小组和他们的同行，谁将提供有益的反馈和新鲜的观点。 该研讨会通过连接初级和高级研究人员来支持社区建设，目标之一是建立一个新研究人员的队列组，然后他们将在世界各地建立同事网络。 学生的研究将在VisWeek技术计划期间通过海报传播，并通过在VisWeek扩展摘要中发表。 关于博士讨论会的反馈将提供给未来的会议委员会。 更广泛的影响：VisWeek博士研讨会汇集了最优秀的下一代可视化研究人员，并允许他们在自己和高级研究人员之间创建一个社交网络，这在他们融入行业中发挥了重要作用。 由于学生和教师在几个方面（国籍，科学学科，研究专业化）是一个多样化的群体，学生的视野在他们的专业发展的关键阶段扩大。 公共宣传机构确认，在管理这一活动时，组织者在努力确定和吸收尽可能广泛的高素质参与者群体的同时，还将努力鼓励妇女、种族/族裔少数群体和残疾人的参与。他们将进一步确保NSF的资金主要用于支持在美国就读研究生课程的学生的参与。

This is funding to support a Doctoral Colloquium (workshop) of about 12 dissertation stage doctoral students, in a variety of visualization subfields, for a day of discussions and interactions with 6 distinguished research faculty, to be held in conjunction with this year's IEEE VisWeek meeting, which will take place during the week of October 14-19, 2012, in Seattle. Visualization, or the use of interactive graphics to support data analysis and understanding, has become an integral part and critical component of many application areas. IEEE VisWeek is the premier forum for visualization advances in science and engineering for academia, government, and industry, now bringing together about 900 researchers and practitioners from around the world with a shared interest in techniques, tools, and technology. VisWeek consists this year of the 23rd annual IEEE Scientific Visualization Conference (SciVis), the 18th annual IEEE Information Visualization Conference (InfoVis), and the 7th annual IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology Symposium (VAST). Co-located symposia this year include the IEEE Symposium on Large-Scale Data Analysis and Visualization (LDAV), the IEEE Symposium on Biological Data Visualization (BioVis), and the International Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security (VisSec). The papers published in the special conference issue of IEEE Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics are rigorously refereed and widely cited. More information is available online at http://www.visweek.org. The Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE VisWeek is a research-focused meeting which has taken place annually at the Visualization conference since 2006, and has helped launch the careers of a number of outstanding young researchers. In 2012 the workshop will convene on Sunday, October 14 or on Monday, October 15, with follow-up events during the VisWeek technical program. A primary goal of the Doctoral Colloquium is to allow students to discuss their research directions in a supportive atmosphere with a panel of distinguished leaders and with their peers, who will provide helpful feedback and fresh perspectives. The workshop supports community building, by connecting beginning and advanced researchers, one of the objectives being to build a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues across the world. Student research will be disseminated via posters during the VisWeek technical program, and via publication in the VisWeek Extended Abstracts. Feedback about the Doctoral Colloquium will be provided to future conference committees. Broader Impacts: The VisWeek Doctoral Colloquium brings together the best of the next generation of visualization researchers and allows them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers, which plays a major role in their enculturation into the profession. Since the students and faculty are a diverse group on several dimensions (nationality, scientific discipline, research specialization), the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development. The PI has affirmed that in managing this event the organizers, while trying to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants, will also make an effort to encourage participation by women, racial/ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities. They will furthermore ensure that NSF funds are used chiefly to support participation by students enrolled in graduate programs in the United States.
