Workshop: The Doctoral Colloquium at UbiComp 2012

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10名有前途的博士生(最多2名国际学生)以及5名知名教师和工业研究人员参加。这次活动将与第14届ACM普适计算国际会议(UbiComp 2012)同时举行，并紧随其后，该会议将于9月5-8日在匹兹堡举行，由计算机械协会赞助。一年一度的UbiComp会议是介绍和讨论与普适计算技术、系统和应用的技术和应用方面有关的尖端研究的主要国际论坛。这是一个跨学科的研究和开发领域，利用和集成普及、无线、嵌入式、可穿戴和/或移动技术，以弥合数字世界和物理世界之间的差距。因此，这次会议汇集了来自不同领域的研究人员和从业者，包括人机交互、普及计算、分布式和移动计算、现实世界建模、传感器和设备、中间件和系统、编程模型和工具，以及以人为中心的验证和体验表征。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012.。全日制博士联盟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来自资深研究人员的高度建设性的反馈和指导来帮助促进他们的研究努力。为此，每个学生参与者将向小组正式介绍他们的工作，并分配充足的时间来提问和反馈教师小组以及其他学生参与者的意见。这些反馈旨在帮助学生理解和阐明他们的工作相对于其他研究的定位，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否得到正确的选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和展示。在博士联盟的午餐和晚餐活动期间，将有更多非正式讨论和联系的机会。学生工作的扩展摘要(最多4页)将被包括在补充会议过程中，并分发给所有与会者。广泛的影响：博士座谈会将帮助更多的年轻研究人员参与与泛在计算相关的各个领域的研究生研究，使他们有机会在社区中获得更广泛的机会，了解他们的创新工作，并从研究界的高级成员那里获得反馈和指导。它将进一步帮助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。在过去的UbiComp博士联盟中，有几个参与者后来进入了备受瞩目的研究生涯。活动主办方承诺不超过一名来自任何特定院校的学生，他们将特别努力吸引在许多方面(如研究兴趣、性别和种族)不同的学生，以便参与者的眼界开阔到该领域未来的好处。

This is funding to support a doctoral research symposium (workshop) of approximately 10 promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad (up to 2 international students), along with 5 high profile faculty and industrial researchers. The event will take place in conjunction with and immediately following the 14th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2012), to be held September 5-8, in Pittsburgh, and which is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery. The annual UbiComp conference is the premier international forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting edge research relating to both the technical and applied aspects of ubiquitous computing technologies, systems and applications. This is an interdisciplinary field of research and development that utilizes and integrates pervasive, wireless, embedded, wearable and/or mobile technologies to bridge the gaps between the digital and physical worlds. Thus, the conference brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas that include human-computer interaction, pervasive computing, distributed and mobile computing, real world modeling, sensors and devices, middleware and systems, programming models and tools, and human-centric validation and experience characterization. More information about the conference may be found at http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012. The three goals of the full-day doctoral consortium 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 highly constructive feedback and guidance from senior researchers in a supportive and interactive environment. To these ends, student participants will each make a formal presentation of their work to the group, with ample time allotted for questions and feedback from the faculty panel as well as from the other student participants. 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. Additional opportunities for more informal discussion and networking will be during the doctoral consortium's lunch and dinner events. Extended abstracts of the students' work (up to 4 pages in length) will be included in the supplemental proceedings which are distributed to all conference attendees.Broader Impacts: The doctoral colloquium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in the various fields associated with ubiquitous computing, by affording 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 further help 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. Several participants in past UbiComp doctoral consortia have since gone on to high profile research careers. The event organizers have committed to accept no more than one student from any given institution, and they will make a special effort to attract students who are diverse across a number of dimensions (e.g., research interests, gender and ethnicity), so that the participants' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field.
