This is funding to support a joint doctoral research colloquium (workshop) of approximately 20 promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad (up to 2 international participants to be supported by NSF), to be selected through a peer review process, along with two panels of 4 invited outstanding researchers from both academic and industrial labs (of these, 18 will be supported by NSF funds and the remaining 10 from sponsorship and other sources). The event will take place in conjunction with the 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp) and the 18th ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computing (ISWC), to be collocated in Seattle on September 13-17, and which are sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery.The ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp) is the result of a merger of the two most renowned conferences in the field: Pervasive and (the former) UbiComp. While it retains the name of the latter in recognition of the visionary work of Mark Weiser, its long name reflects the dual history of the new event. UbiComp is a premier interdisciplinary venue in which leading international researchers, designers, developers, and practitioners in the field present and discuss novel results in all aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing. This includes the design, development, and deployment of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technologies and the understanding of human experiences and social impacts that these technologies facilitate. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to, systems and infrastructures, devices and techniques, applications and experiences, methodologies and tools, and theories and models. More information about the conference may be found at http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2014. ISWC is a conference dedicated to cutting-edge research in wearable technologies, and is the premier forum for wearable computing and issues related to on-body and worn mobile technologies. Every year, ISWC brings together researchers, product vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and related professionals to share information and advances in wearable computing. The 18th edition of ISWC is scheduled to include dedicated workshops, a juried design competition, a lively gadget show, and high-quality paper presentation sessions revealing the latest in wearable computing progress. More information about this conference may be found at http://iswc.net/iswc14/. The goals of the ISWC/UbiComp Doctoral Colloquium are: to provide a forum that will allow senior-level doctoral students to attend the ISWC/UbiComp conferences and take part as contributors to the program, as well as encourage further participation in the future; to give emerging ISWC and UbiComp researchers the opportunity to present their work and receive feedback, guidance, and encouragement from respected researchers to whom they may not have ready access at their home institutions; to provide opportunities for discussion among senior-level doctoral students to expose them to new perspectives on their field and in closely related fields; to foster the building of research relationships that will continue to benefit the students as they progress in their careers; and to expose the diversity and depth of research in the field as being undertaken by junior researchers to the greater UbiComp/ISWC community. To these ends, the format of the doctoral colloquium will facilitate the open exchange of ideas and in-depth discussion among members of the next generation of wearable and ubiquitous computing researchers and established top researchers in the area. The colloquium will begin with a joint "madness" session in which all participants will present a 1-minute version of their research. Subsequently, participants will present in-depth in two parallel tracks, attended by the respective conference panels. Students will be encouraged to move freely between the sessions, attending presentations according to their interests. The colloquium will close with a joint career development panel. Meals and breaks will be shared. Presentations will be scheduled with ample time allotted for questions and constructive feedback from the panel and from the other student participants. Particular emphasis will be given to such topics as focusing research questions and ensuring that research activities appropriately address the research questions, the selection and application of fitting and correct methods given the intended contributions of the work, and the appropriate analysis, framing, and communication of findings, results, and contributions. Additional opportunities for more informal discussion and networking will be during the DC lunch and dinner events. Extended abstracts from the DC will be distributed in the conference's adjunct proceedings to all conference attendees, and indexed in the ACM and IEEE digital libraries, offering further exposure. Finally, colloquium participants will also be asked to prepare a poster for a joint ISWC/UbiComp DC poster session as part of the main conference.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. To support diversity among the student participants, the event organizers have committed that no more than 2 students will be accepted from any one institution.

这笔资金用于支持大约20名来自美国和国外的有前途的博士生（最多2名国际参与者由NSF支持）的联合博士研究研讨会（研讨会），该研讨会将通过同行评审过程选出，同时还将邀请来自学术和工业实验室的4名杰出研究人员组成两个小组（其中18名将由NSF基金支持，其余10名将由赞助或其他来源支持）。该活动将与2014年ACM普适和普适计算国际联合会议（UbiComp）和第18届ACM可穿戴计算国际研讨会（ISWC）同时举行，该会议将于9月13日至17日在西雅图举行，并由计算机协会赞助。ACM普适和普适计算国际联合会议（UbiComp）是该领域两个最著名的会议：普适和（前者）UbiComp合并的结果。虽然它保留了后者的名字，以表彰马克·韦瑟的远见卓识的工作，它的长名字反映了新事件的双重历史。UbiComp是一个首屈一指的跨学科场所，在这里，该领域的领先国际研究人员、设计师、开发人员和实践者将展示和讨论无处不在和普适计算各个方面的新结果。这包括设计、开发和部署无处不在的普及计算技术，以及理解这些技术促进的人类经验和社会影响。相关研究课题包括但不限于系统与基础设施、设备与技术、应用与经验、方法与工具、理论与模型。有关会议的更多信息可在http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2014上找到。ISWC是一个致力于可穿戴技术前沿研究的会议，是可穿戴计算和与身体和穿戴式移动技术相关问题的首要论坛。每年，ISWC将研究人员、产品供应商、时装设计师、纺织品制造商、用户和相关专业人士聚集在一起，分享可穿戴计算领域的信息和进展。第18届ISWC计划包括专门的研讨会、评审设计竞赛、生动的小工具展示以及展示可穿戴计算最新进展的高质量论文演示会议。有关本次会议的更多信息可在http://iswc.net/iswc14/上找到。ISWC/UbiComp博士研讨会的目标是：提供一个论坛，允许高级博士生参加ISWC/UbiComp会议，并作为项目贡献者参与，并鼓励未来进一步参与；让新兴的ISWC和UbiComp研究人员有机会展示他们的工作，并从他们在本国机构可能无法获得的受人尊敬的研究人员那里获得反馈、指导和鼓励；为高级博士生提供讨论的机会，使他们接触到本领域和密切相关领域的新观点；促进建立研究关系，使学生在职业发展中继续受益；并向更大的UbiComp/ISWC社区展示初级研究人员在该领域进行的研究的多样性和深度。为了达到这些目的，博士讨论会的形式将促进下一代可穿戴和无处不在的计算研究人员和该领域的顶尖研究人员之间的思想交流和深入讨论。研讨会将以一个联合“疯狂”环节开始，所有参与者将展示他们一分钟的研究成果。随后，与会者将分别由各自的会议小组参加，在两个平行的轨道上进行深入介绍。学生将被鼓励在会议之间自由移动，根据自己的兴趣参加演讲。研讨会将以联合职业发展小组结束。用餐和休息将共享。报告将安排充足的时间来提问，并从小组和其他学生参与者那里得到建设性的反馈。特别强调的主题将是集中研究问题，确保研究活动适当地解决研究问题，根据工作的预期贡献选择和应用合适和正确的方法，以及对发现、结果和贡献进行适当的分析、框架和交流。在DC午餐和晚餐活动期间，将有更多的非正式讨论和交流机会。DC的扩展摘要将在会议的附加论文集中分发给所有与会者，并在ACM和IEEE数字图书馆中编入索引，以提供进一步的曝光。最后，讨论会的参与者还将被要求为ISWC/UbiComp DC联合海报会议准备海报，作为主要会议的一部分。博士研讨会将提供机会，让年轻的研究人员在业界更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并获得资深研究人员的反馈和指导，从而有助他们在与泛在计算相关的各个领域进行研究生学习。它将进一步帮助培养这些年轻研究人员之间的社区意识，允许他们在他们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会网络。过去的几位UbiComp博士联盟的参与者后来都从事了引人注目的研究工作。为了支持学生参与的多样性，活动组织者承诺，任何一所学校将不接受超过2名学生。
