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.

这是资助一个博士研究研讨会（讲习班），大约有8名来自美国和国外的有前途的博士生（不超过一名，以拓宽美国参与者的视野），沿着有大约4名杰出的研究人员。该活动将与第25届ACM用户界面软件和技术研讨会（UIST 2012）同时举行，并将于10月6日至10日在马萨诸塞州剑桥举行，并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会议是展示创新研究成果以及人机交互软件和技术实施经验的首要国际论坛。 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Web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合作工作。 有关会议的更多信息可在http://www.acm.org/uist.This上找到。今年的博士研究研讨会将是与UIST会议相关的第10次此类研讨会（NSF从一开始就为这些活动提供了支持）。 这个全天活动的三个目标是增加参与者的工作在社区内的曝光度和可见度，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组高级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，学生参与者将各自向小组作20分钟的正式报告，然后进行约30分钟的广泛讨论，在此期间，他们将收到教师小组的反馈;反馈是为了帮助学生理解和阐明他们的工作是如何定位相对于其他研究，他们的主题是否充分集中的论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和介绍。 学生们还将通过会议海报招待会上的海报，会议概述会议期间的简要概述以及UIST附属程序中的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，为他们提供一个机会，让他们在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并获得研究界高级成员的反馈和指导。 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在其专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立社会网络。 由于学生和教师构成了一个跨各种维度的多元化群体，学生的视野被拓宽到该领域的未来利益。 该活动的组织者将作出特别努力，以吸引学生从机构没有在UIST历史上大量代表，并促进跨代表性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的资金来支持来自任何一个机构的不超过一名学生。
