This is funding to support a doctoral research symposium (workshop) of approximately 8 promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad (no more than one, to broaden the horizons of the U.S. participants), along with about 4 distinguished research faculty. The event will take place in conjunction with and immediately preceding the 25th ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST 2012), to be held October 6-10 in Cambridge, MA, and sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Human Computer Interaction (SIGCHI). The annual UIST conference is the premier international forum for presenting innovative research results as well as implementation experiences in the software and technology of human computer interaction. It brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas that include traditional graphical and web user interfaces, tangible and ubiquitous computing, virtual and augmented reality, multimedia, new input and output devices, and computer-supported cooperative work. More information about the conference may be found at http://www.acm.org/uist.This year's doctoral research symposium will be just the 10th such workshop associated with the UIST conferences (NSF has offered support for these events from their inception). The three goals of this full-day event are to increase the exposure and visibility of the participants' work within the community, to help establish a sense of community among this next generation of researchers, and to help foster their research efforts by providing substantive feedback and guidance from a group of senior researchers in a supportive and interactive environment. To these ends, student participants will each make formal 20-minute presentations of their work to the group, to be followed by an extensive discussion lasting approximately 30 minutes during which they will receive feedback from a faculty panel; the feedback is geared to helping students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. The students will also present their research to a wider audience through posters at the conference poster reception, brief overviews during the conference overview session, and short papers in the UIST Adjunct Proceedings. Broader Impacts: The doctoral symposium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in the vital field of user interface software and technology, by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior members of the research community. It will also foster a sense of community among these young researchers, by allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Because the students and faculty constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field. The organizers of the event will make special efforts to attract students from institutions not historically heavily represented at UIST and to foster diversity across under-represented groups. To further increase participant diversity, the organizers will use NSF funds to support no more than one student from any single institution.

这笔资金用于支持一个博士研究研讨会(研讨会)，来自美国和海外的大约8名有前途的博士生(不超过1名，以拓宽美国参与者的视野)与大约4名杰出的研究人员一起参加。这次活动将与第25届ACM用户界面软件与技术研讨会(UIST 2012)同时举行，并紧接着举行，该研讨会将于10月6-10日在马萨诸塞州剑桥举行，由计算机械协会的人机交互特别兴趣小组(SIGCHI)赞助。一年一度的UIST会议是展示人机交互软件和技术的创新研究成果和实施经验的主要国际论坛。它汇集了来自不同领域的研究人员和从业人员，包括传统的图形和网络用户界面、有形和无处不在的计算、虚拟和增强现实、多媒体、新的输入和输出设备以及计算机支持的协作工作。关于这次会议的更多信息可以在http://www.acm.org/uist.This年度的博士研究研讨会上找到，这将是与UIST会议相关的第10次这样的研讨会(美国国家科学基金会从一开始就为这些活动提供支持)。这一全天活动的三个目标是增加参与者的工作在社区中的曝光率和知名度，帮助在下一代研究人员中建立社区意识，并通过在支持和互动的环境中提供一群资深研究人员的实质性反馈和指导来帮助促进他们的研究工作。为此，每个学生参与者将向小组作20分钟的正式报告，然后进行大约30分钟的广泛讨论，在此期间他们将收到教员小组的反馈；反馈旨在帮助学生理解和清楚地说明他们的工作相对于其他研究是如何定位的，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否被正确地选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和展示。学生们还将通过在会议海报招待会上张贴海报，在会议概述会议期间进行简要概述，以及在UIST附属论文集上发表简短论文，向更广泛的受众展示他们的研究。更广泛的影响：博士研讨会将有助于扩大在用户界面软件和技术这一重要领域攻读研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，使他们有机会在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并从研究界的高级成员那里获得反馈和指导。它还将培养这些年轻研究人员的社区意识，使他们能够在自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的资深研究人员建立一个社交网络。由于学生和教职员工在不同的维度上构成了一个不同的群体，学生的视野被拓宽到了该领域未来的利益。这次活动的组织者将特别努力吸引来自UIST历史上没有大量代表的机构的学生，并促进代表不足的群体的多样性。为了进一步增加参与者的多样性，组织者将使用NSF资金支持不超过一名来自任何一所院校的学生。
