WORKSHOP: Summer Institute on Sociotechnical Systems and Sciences

这是资金，以支付机票和地面旅行约40名学生参与者，以及某些其他相关费用，第五届青年调查员暑期研究所正在组织的PI下的社会技术系统（CSST）的科学联盟的赞助下，并将于2012年7月29日至8月，在主教的小屋在圣达菲，新墨西哥州。 CSST的产生是因为人们认识到人类与技术相互作用研究的日益重要性。 社会技术系统（SST）的科学是快速增长的“虚拟组织”的主题领域，除其他外，因此迫切的国家需要的研究，是牢固地扎根于SST的传统。 然而，这个学者社区，其中包括不同领域的教师，如社会信息学，社会计算，CSCW，计算社会科学，HCI和信息科学，仍然是分裂的，基本上是无形的。CSST系列暑期学院是统一这个多元化的社区，提高其知名度的关键一步，通过为下一代SST领导者（包括高级博士生和终身教职员工）提供身临其境的体验，使他们为从事分布式科学研究做好充分准备。 暑期研究所通过培养一批新研究人员来建立关键的智力和社会资本，这些研究人员的工作由社会技术系统研究中的听力专家塑造，鼓励并就如何推进该领域的知识基础，方法论方法以及持续，有意义甚至变革性影响的潜力提供建议。 2012年的研讨会将坚持在以前的暑期研究所过程中发展和完善的成功形式。 该研讨会将汇集通过竞争性审查过程选择的早期职业研究人员与一组更资深的研究人员进行为期五天的密集研究交流。 该活动将是住宅和位于一个半隔离的地方，以鼓励参与者之间的社会互动的最大量。 高级教师，初级教师和高级博士生将共同努力，以更加连贯和现代的形式阐明在一系列相关知识社区中进行社会技术科学的基本原则，目标和方法。 他们将探索推进社会技术系统科学的主题和方法，同时专注于与社会技术观点的核心方面相一致的个人研究的智力发展。 更广泛的影响：暑期研究所参与者在许多方面的多样性（例如，机构、学科、地域、性别、少数群体地位），有助于在学员职业生涯的关键阶段拓宽他们的视角。 研讨会期间沉浸式的知识体验将有助于在参与者和担任暑期研究所讲师的高级研究人员之间建立社交网络。 该网络将在参与者的专业发展和社会技术系统研究领域的发展方面发挥重要作用。

This is funding to cover airfare and ground travel for approximately 40 student participants, as well as certain other expenses associated with, the 5th Young Investigators Summer Institute that is being organized by the PI under the auspices of the Consortium for the Science of Socio-Technical Systems (CSST), and which will be held July 29-August, 2012, at Bishop's Lodge in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The CSST resulted from recognition of the growing importance of research on the interplay of humans and technology. The science of socio-technical systems (SST) is fundamental to the rapidly growing "virtual organizations" thematic area, among others, thus the urgent national need for research that is firmly grounded in the SST tradition. Yet this community of scholars, which includes faculty in diverse fields such as social informatics, social computing, CSCW, computational social science, HCI, and information science, remains fractured and largely invisible.The CSST series of Summer Institutes is a critical step toward unifying this diverse community and enhancing its visibility, by providing an immersive experience for the next generation of SST leaders (both advanced doctoral students and pre-tenure faculty) so that they will be well prepared to engage in distributed scientific inquiry. The Summer Institutes build critical intellectual and social capital by fostering creation of a cohort group of new researchers whose work is shaped by hearing experts in socio-technical systems research provide encouragement and give advice on how to advance the field's intellectual basis, methodological approaches, and potential for sustained, meaningful and even transformative impact. The 2012 workshop will adhere to the successful format that has evolved and been refined over the course of the prior Summer Institutes. The workshop will bring together early career researchers selected through a competitive review process with a set of more senior researchers for an intensive five-day research exchange. The event will be residential and located in a semi-isolated locale to encourage the maximum amount of social interaction among participants. Senior faculty, junior faculty, and advanced doctoral students will collectively strive to articulate in more coherent and contemporary forms the basic principles, goals and approaches to doing socio-technical science across a range of relevant intellectual communities. They will explore topics and methods for advancing the science of socio-technical systems, while focusing on intellectual development of individual research that is aligned with core aspects of the socio-technical perspective. Broader Impacts: The diversity of Summer Institute participants across a number of dimensions (e.g., institutional, disciplinary, geographic, gender, minority group status), serves to broaden participants' perspectives at a critical stage in their careers. The immersive intellectual experience during the workshop will facilitate creation of a social network among the participants and the senior researchers who serve as instructors for the Summer Institute. This network will play a major role both in the professional development of the participants and in the evolution of the field of socio-technical systems research.
