ISMAR 2012 Doctoral Consortium

这笔资金用于支持大约8名研究生(其中约一半来自美国院校)与社区高级成员(教师和行业研究人员)一起参加一个博士联盟(研讨会)，该联盟将与2012年混合和增强现实国际研讨会(ISMAR 2012)同时举行，紧接着将于11月6-8日在亚特兰大举行，该研讨会由IEEE计算机学会组织，计算机械协会(ACM)提供学术赞助。十多年来，ISMAR(及其前身活动，IWAR/ISAR和ISMR)一直是关于混合现实(MR)和增强现实(AR)的科学、技术、应用和使用研究的主要国际会议。强大的移动硬件的激增为MR和AR的研究开辟了新的途径，同时使企业和消费者能够广泛应用。在这个范围内，令人着迷的新用户界面、技术和概念开始出现。该领域本质上是高度跨学科的，聚集了技术学家、教育家、人文主义者、艺术家和社会科学家等。ISMAR是致力于推进混合现实、增强现实、虚拟现实和与物理世界的人机交互的最大会议之一，并鼓励六种不同的提交类型：论文和海报、研讨会、小组讨论、教程、演示和比赛。由于与混合和增强现实相关的不同领域，ISMAR的内容分为两个轨道：科学与技术(S&T)计划和艺术、媒体与人文(AMH)计划。顶级论文通常会被扩展、审查并提交给著名的IEEE可视化和计算机图形学会刊发表。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问http://ismar.vgtc.org/.。这将是第一个与ISMAR研讨会同时举行的博士联盟。其目标是在学生职业生涯的关键时刻为他们提供机会，向来自不同学术和工业机构的一群导师和同行介绍他们的工作，获得对他们的博士研究计划和进展的反馈，并在ISMAR社区内建立一支年轻的研究人员队伍。为此，与会者将被要求准备一份技术演示文稿和一份介绍其工作的海报。周日晚上的活动前社交晚宴将让与会者(学生、导师和组织者)相互了解。周一上午，与会者将在上午8：00举行非正式早餐，之后每个学生参与者将有50分钟专注于他/她的研究，首先是大约30分钟的陈述，然后是大约20分钟，用于与其他研究生参与者和高级研究人员进行广泛的讨论。讨论将由博士联盟联合主席和导师推动，目的是解决研究的优势和劣势、挑战和问题、结果的影响、对其他方法或后续工作的潜在建议，以及与学生工作和领域相关的职业指导。这些海报将在ISMAR会议的主要海报会议期间展示(预计学生将参与)，并将被标记为博士联盟的一部分。该联盟的所有结果，包括遵循的程序，都将存档在ISMAR 2012 DC活页夹中，作为下一年会议的参考。广泛影响：组织者将采取措施，在学生中实现研究主题、学科背景、方法方法和家庭机构的多样性，以确保他们遇到自己特定领域以外的人。还将考虑性别和族裔等因素，重点是纳入代表性不足的群体。为了进一步增加多样性，多达一半的学生参与者可能会被邀请到国外，但NSF的资金将用于支持来自美国高等院校的4名预期学生和1名国际学生；组织者将与欧洲和亚洲的同事合作，为其余的国际学生争取其他资金。

This is funding to support participation by approximately 8 graduate students (about half of them from U.S. institutions) along with senior members of the community (faculty and industry researchers) in a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) to be held in conjunction with and immediately preceding the 2012 International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR 2012), which will take place November 6-8, in Atlanta, and which is organized by the IEEE Computer Society with academic sponsorship from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). For over a decade, ISMAR (and its forerunner events, IWAR/ISAR and ISMR) has been the premier international conference on research into the science, technology, applications and uses of Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The proliferation of powerful mobile hardware has opened up new avenues of research into MR and AR while enabling corporate and consumer applications on a wide scale. Across this spectrum fascinating new types of user interfaces, technologies, and concepts are beginning to emerge. The field is highly interdisciplinary in nature, bringing together technologists, educators, humanists, artists and social scientists, among others. ISMAR is one of the largest meetings devoted to the advancement of mixed reality, augmented reality, virtual reality, and human-computer interaction with the physical world, and encourages six different submission types: Papers and Posters, Workshops, Panels, Tutorials, Demonstrations and Contests. Because of the diverse fields relevant to mixed and augmented reality, ISMAR content is organized in two tracks: The Science & Technology (S&T) program and The Arts, Media and Humanities (AMH) program. The top papers are often extended, reviewed, and submitted for publication in the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. More information about the conference may be found at http://ismar.vgtc.org/. This will be the first Doctoral Consortium held in conjunction with an ISMAR symposium. The goal is to provide the students with an opportunity at a critical time in their careers to present their work to a group of mentors and peers from a diverse set of academic and industrial institutions, to receive feedback on their doctoral research plan and progress, and to build a cohort of young researchers within the ISMAR community. To these ends participants will be asked to prepare both a technical presentation and a poster describing their work. A pre-event social dinner on Sunday evening will allow the attendees (students, mentors and organizers) to get to know each other. On Monday morning the attendees will meet for an informal breakfast at 8:00 AM, after which each student participant will have 50 minutes devoted to his/her research, beginning with a presentation for approximately 30 minutes followed by about 20 minutes reserved for an extensive discussion with the other graduate student participants and the senior researchers. The discussion will be facilitated by the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs and mentors, with the goal of addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the research, challenges and issues, implications of the results, potential suggestions for additional approaches or follow-on work, and career guidance related to the student's work and area. The posters will be on display during the main ISMAR conference poster sessions (in which the students will be expected to participate), and will be marked as being part of the Doctoral Consortium. All results from the Consortium, including the procedures followed, will be archived in an ISMAR 2012 DC binder as a reference for the next year's conference.Broader Impacts: The organizers will take steps to achieve a diversity of research topics, disciplinary backgrounds, methodological approaches, and home institutions among the students to ensure that they meet people outside their own specific area. Factors such as gender and ethnicity will also be taken into account, with an emphasis on including underrepresented groups. To further increase diversity up to half the student participants may be invited from abroad but NSF funds will be used to support the 4 expected students from U.S. institutions of higher learning plus one international student; the organizers will work with colleagues in Europe and Asia to secure other funding for the remaining international students.
