WORKSHOP: Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE VIS 2013

这笔资金将用于支持一个博士研讨会（研讨会），约有18名论文阶段的博士生，在各种可视化子领域，与6名杰出的研究人员进行为期一天的讨论和互动，该研讨会将与今年的IEEE VIS会议（以前称为IEEE VisWeek）一起举行，该会议将于2013年10月13日至18日在佐治亚州亚特兰大举行。可视化，或使用交互式图形来支持数据分析和理解，已经成为许多应用领域不可或缺的一部分和关键组成部分。IEEE VIS是学术界、政府和工业界在科学和工程方面的可视化进展的主要论坛，现在汇集了来自世界各地的900名研究人员和实践者，他们对技术、工具和技术有共同的兴趣。VIS由今年的第24届IEEE科学可视化会议（SciVis）、第19届IEEE信息可视化会议（InfoVis）和第8届IEEE可视化分析科学与技术研讨会（VAST）组成。今年的同地研讨会包括IEEE大规模数据分析与可视化研讨会（LDAV）、IEEE生物数据可视化研讨会（BioVis）和网络安全可视化国际研讨会（VisSec）。发表在《IEEE可视化与计算机图形学汇刊》特别会议上的论文被严格审阅并被广泛引用。更多信息请访问http://www.ieeevis.org。IEEE VIS博士讨论会是一个以研究为重点的会议，自2006年以来每年在可视化会议上举行，并帮助许多杰出的年轻研究人员启动了职业生涯。2013年的研讨会将于10月12日星期六召开，并在VIS技术计划期间举行后续活动。博士研讨会的一个主要目标是让学生在一个支持的氛围中与杰出的领导小组和他们的同龄人讨论他们的研究方向，他们将提供有用的反馈和新鲜的观点。为此，每个学生将在专家小组成员中分配一名特定的导师，并在小组会议期间分配大约30-40分钟的时间，包括关于学生博士研究的正式报告，然后进行深入的讨论和反馈。研讨会将通过连接初级和高级研究人员来支持社区建设（在诸如所有DC参与者，学生和小组成员的共同午餐等活动期间，以及一天结束时的圆桌讨论，重点将放在技术研究以外的高级主题上），目标之一是建立一个新研究人员的队列小组，然后他们将拥有一个遍布世界各地的同事网络。学生的研究成果将在VIS技术项目期间通过海报传播，并通过VIS扩展摘要发表。关于博士讨论会的反馈将提供给未来的会议委员会。更广泛的影响：VIS博士讨论会汇集了最优秀的下一代可视化研究人员，并允许他们在自己之间以及与高级研究人员建立社会网络，这在他们融入专业文化中起着重要作用。由于学生和教师在多个维度（国籍、科学学科、研究专业）上是一个多元化的群体，学生的视野在他们专业发展的关键阶段被拓宽了。PI确认，在管理这一活动时，组织者在努力确定和吸收尽可能广泛的高素质参与者群体的同时，也将努力鼓励妇女、种族/少数民族和残疾人参与。他们还将确保国家科学基金的资金主要用于支持在美国攻读研究生课程的学生的参与。

This is funding to support a Doctoral Colloquium (workshop) of about 18 dissertation stage doctoral students, in a variety of visualization subfields, for a day of discussions and interactions with 6 distinguished research faculty, to be held in conjunction with this year's IEEE VIS meeting (formerly known as IEEE VisWeek), which will take place during the week of October 13-18, 2013, in Atlanta, Georgia. Visualization, or the use of interactive graphics to support data analysis and understanding, has become an integral part and critical component of many application areas. IEEE VIS is the premier forum for visualization advances in science and engineering for academia, government, and industry, now bringing together about 900 researchers and practitioners from around the world with a shared interest in techniques, tools, and technology. VIS consists this year of the 24th annual IEEE Scientific Visualization Conference (SciVis), the 19th annual IEEE Information Visualization Conference (InfoVis), and the 8th annual IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology Symposium (VAST). Co-located symposia this year include the IEEE Symposium on Large-Scale Data Analysis and Visualization (LDAV), the IEEE Symposium on Biological Data Visualization (BioVis), and the International Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security (VisSec). The papers published in the special conference issue of IEEE Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics are rigorously refereed and widely cited. More information is available online at http://www.ieeevis.org. The Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE VIS is a research-focused meeting which has taken place annually at the visualization conferences since 2006, and has helped launch the careers of a number of outstanding young researchers. In 2013 the workshop will convene on Saturday, October 12, with follow-up events during the VIS technical program. A primary goal of the Doctoral Colloquium is to allow students to discuss their research directions in a supportive atmosphere with a panel of distinguished leaders and with their peers, who will provide helpful feedback and fresh perspectives. To this end each student will be assigned a specific mentor among the expert panelists and will be allotted approximately 30-40 minutes of time during the group sessions, to include a formal presentation about the student's doctoral research followed by in-depth discussions and feedback. The workshop will support community building by connecting beginning and advanced researchers (during events such as a common lunch for all DC participants, students and panelists alike, and a roundtable discussion at the end of the day where the focus will be on high-level topics beyond technical research), one of the objectives being to build a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues across the world. Student research will be disseminated via posters during the VIS technical program, and via publication in the VIS Extended Abstracts. Feedback about the Doctoral Colloquium will be provided to future conference committees. Broader Impacts: The VIS Doctoral Colloquium brings together the best of the next generation of visualization researchers and allows them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers, which plays a major role in their enculturation into the profession. Since the students and faculty are a diverse group on several dimensions (nationality, scientific discipline, research specialization), the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development. The PI has affirmed that in managing this event the organizers, while striving to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants, will also make an effort to encourage participation by women, racial/ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities. They will furthermore ensure that NSF funds are used chiefly to support participation by students enrolled in graduate programs in the United States.
