WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium at the 2014 ACM International Conference on Collaboration Across Boundaries (CABS 2014)

这笔资金用于支持美国教育机构的学生和教师参加博士联盟（研讨会），该研讨会将汇集有前途的博士生和来自学术界和工业界的杰出研究人员，该研讨会将于8月20日至22日在日本京都举行的第五届国际ACM跨边界合作：文化，距离和技术会议（CABS 2014）同时举行。一年一度的CABS会议由计算机协会的人机交互特别兴趣小组（SIGCHI）主办，是一个不断发展的国际论坛，旨在介绍和讨论研究和实践，重点是理解和支持跨文化交流和全球团队。CABS为研究人员提供了一个集合点，这些研究人员对理解如何使用技术来弥合来自不同文化的人们有着共同的兴趣。会议的一个基本前提是，跨文化交流和合作中出现的语言和文化难题只能通过多学科的努力来充分解决。因此，与会者来自不同的学科，包括计算机科学、工程学、管理科学、信息科学、传播学、心理学、社会学和人类学。与会者也来自世界各地，包括美国、中国、日本、韩国、以色列、法国、丹麦、德国、英国和其他国家。会议征集有竞争力的论文、小组、演示和其他提交；同行评审，档案论文和笔记出现在ACM数字图书馆。CABS博士联盟是一个以研究为重点的会议，由10-12名选定的博士候选人和4-5名来自学术界和工业界的杰出研究人员组成的小组组成。该活动将于8月20日举行，其目的是帮助在跨文化合作领域的杰出研究人员开展职业生涯，后续活动将于8月21日至22日在会议的技术项目期间举行。NSF基金将支持一名来自美国的高级研究员（PI）和8名在美国教育机构的学生参加。全天的博士联盟将为学生提供接触他们的研究社区的机会，有机会展示他们的工作，并从同行和该领域的高级研究人员那里获得建设性的反馈，并有充足的时间开始建立同行和导师的专业支持网络（例如，在组织和工作晚宴期间）。反馈是为了帮助学生参与者理解和阐明他们的工作是如何定位相对于其他CABS研究，他们的主题是否足够专注于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，他们的结果是否被适当地分析和呈现，等等。在CABS技术课程期间，学生参与者还将以海报的形式展示他们在到达之前准备好的作品。在互动海报会议期间，学生们将与感兴趣的与会者讨论他们的工作，但海报将在整个三天的会议期间可供观看。学生们的作品因此被展示给与会者，学生们有机会从更多的观众那里得到反馈。此外，所有博士联盟与会者报告的摘要将以包的形式打印，分发给所有CABS与会者，并且每个报告的完整扩展摘要将在CABS 2014网站上提供。活动组织者将特别努力促进美国机构和历来在CABS中代表性不足的少数族裔群体的参与。他们还将考虑录取学生的性别平衡。为进一步增加学生参加者的多样性，主办单位承诺每一所院校只接纳一名以上的学生，但若有两名不同性别的合格学生申请，则可同时接纳两名学生。

This is funding to support participation by students and faculty based in U.S. educational institutions in a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) that will bring together promising doctoral students and distinguished researchers from academia and industry, to be held in conjunction with the 5th International ACM Conference on Collaboration Across Boundaries: Culture, Distance and Technology (CABS 2014), which will take place in Kyoto, Japan, on August 20-22. Sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI), the annual CABS conference is a growing international forum for the presentation and discussion of research and practice focused on understanding and supporting intercultural communication and global teams. CABS serves as a gathering point for researchers who share a common interest in understanding how technology can be used to bridge people from multiple cultures. A fundamental premise of the conference is that the difficult problems of language and culture that arise in cross-cultural communication and collaboration can only be adequately addressed by multidisciplinary efforts. Thus, attendees come from diverse academic disciplines including computer science, engineering, management science, information science, communication, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Attendees also span the globe, with participation from the United States, China, Japan, Korea, Israel, France, Denmark, Germany, the UK, and other countries. The conference solicits competitive paper, panel, demo and other submissions; peer-reviewed, archival papers and notes appear in the ACM Digital Library. More information about the conference may be found online at http://cabs.acm.org/2014/.The CABS Doctoral Consortium is a research-focused meeting of a group of 10-12 selected PhD candidates and a panel of 4-5 distinguished researchers from academia and industry. The event, whose goal is to help launch the careers of outstanding researchers in the area of intercultural collaboration, will take place on August 20, with follow-up events during the conference's technical program on August 21-22. NSF funds will support participation by one senior researcher from the United States (the PI) and 8 students based in U.S. educational institutions. The full-day Doctoral Consortium will provide students with exposure to their research community, with an opportunity to present their work and receive constructive feedback from peers and senior researchers in the field, and with ample time to start building a professional support network of peers and mentors (e.g., during the organizational and working dinners). The feedback is geared toward helping student participants understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other CABS research, whether their topics are adequately focused for dissertation research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, whether their results are being appropriately analyzed and presented, etc. The student participants will also present their work as posters, which they have prepared before arrival, during the CABS technical program. During the interactive poster session the students will be present to discuss their work with interested attendees, but the posters will be available for viewing throughout the entire three days of the conference. The students' work is thus showcased for conference attendees, and the students have the opportunity to get feedback from a larger audience. In addition, abstracts for all Doctoral Consortium attendee presentations will be printed as a packet to be distributed to all CABS attendees, and the full extended abstract for each presentation will be made available on the CABS 2014 website. The event organizers will make special efforts to promote participation from U.S. institutions and ethnic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented at CABS. They will also consider equitable gender balance in the mix of accepted students. To further increase diversity among the student participants, the organizers have committed to accepting no more than 1 student from any particular institution, except in the case that 2 qualified students of different genders apply in which case both may be accepted.
