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 6-12 distinguished research faculty, to be held in conjunction with the IEEE VIS 2015 meeting, which is comprised of the IEEE Scientific Visualization Conference (SciVis), the IEEE Information Visualization Conference (InfoVis), the IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology Conference (VAST), and the International Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security, and which will take place during the week of October 25-30, in Chicago, Illinois. 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 advances in scientific and information visualization; this weeklong event convenes an international community of researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to explore their shared interests in tools, techniques, and technology, and is now attended by over 1,000 visualization professionals from around the world. The papers presented at the various component events are rigorously refereed and widely cited. More information is available online at http://www.ieeevis.org. The Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE VIS, a research-focused meeting which has taken place annually since 2006, has been highly successful in providing a forum for introducing and grooming young scholars in the field. Many of today's leading visualization researchers have participated in earlier doctoral colloquia as students. The event 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, gender, ethnicity, scientific discipline, institution, and research specialization), the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development. The organizers strongly commit to achieving diversity among the student participants; to this end, no more than 2 students will be accepted from any one institution, and 2 students from the same institution will only be accepted if at least one of them is a woman. The PI has further affirmed that NSF funds will be used chiefly to support participation by students enrolled in graduate programs in the United States.In 2015 the workshop will convene on Saturday, October 24 (the day before the main conference), with follow-up events throughout the week during the VIS technical program. A primary objective 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, the 18 students will be split into three groups of 6 students; two faculty panelists and one DC co-chair will be assigned to each group in individual meeting rooms to hold their presentations. Each student will be allotted approximately 30-40 minutes of time during the group sessions, to include a formal presentation about his/her doctoral research followed by in-depth discussions and feedback. All students will be assigned a specific mentor among the expert panelists, who will be responsible for reading the student's submission materials in particular depth and providing detailed feedback; additional feedback will be given by other members of the faculty panel, as well as by fellow student participants. Discussion is encouraged. The feedback is geared to helping student participants understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other visualization research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, whether their results are being appropriately analyzed and presented, etc. The goal is to give a second opinion on each student's doctoral research beyond the guidance provided by the student's own dissertation advisor. There will be a common catered working lunch on site for all participants (students and panelists alike) where students get an additional opportunity to meet and network with the expert panelists on a more individual level. Finally, at the end of the day, there will be a roundtable discussion where all participants meet and discuss higher-level topics beyond technical research. Student research will be disseminated via posters during the VIS technical program, and via publication in the VIS Extended Abstracts. The organizers will file a final report (with feedback from participants) which will be archived by the VIS Executive Committee and provided to the organizers of future doctoral colloquia.

这是资助博士研讨会（研讨会）的约18个博士学位论文阶段的学生，在各种可视化子领域，与6-12杰出的研究教师进行了一天的讨论和互动，将与IEEE维斯2015年会议，这是由IEEE科学可视化会议（Sci维斯），IEEE信息可视化会议（Info维斯），IEEE可视化分析科学与技术会议（VAST）和网络安全可视化国际研讨会，将于10月25日至30日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。 可视化，或使用交互式图形来支持数据分析和理解，已成为许多应用领域的一个组成部分和关键组成部分。 IEEE维斯是科学和信息可视化进步的首要论坛;这个为期一周的活动召集了来自学术界、政府和工业界的研究人员和从业人员的国际社区，探讨他们在工具、技术和技术方面的共同兴趣，目前有来自世界各地的1,000多名可视化专业人士参加。 在各种组成活动中提交的论文都经过严格评审并被广泛引用。 http://www.ieeevis.org IEEE维斯博士学术讨论会是一个以研究为重点的会议，自2006年以来每年举行一次，它非常成功地为介绍和培养该领域的年轻学者提供了一个论坛。 许多当今领先的可视化研究人员都曾作为学生参加过早期的博士讨论会。 该活动汇集了下一代可视化研究人员中最优秀的一员，使他们能够在自己和高级研究人员之间建立社交网络，这在他们融入该行业方面发挥了重要作用。 由于学生和教师在几个方面（国籍，性别，种族，科学学科，机构和研究专业化）是一个多元化的群体，学生的视野在他们的专业发展的关键阶段扩大。 组织者坚定地承诺实现学生参与者的多样性;为此，任何一所机构将接受不超过2名学生，同一机构的2名学生只有在其中至少一名是女性时才能被接受。 PI进一步确认，NSF的资金将主要用于支持在美国就读研究生课程的学生参与。2015年，研讨会将于10月24日（星期六）召开（主要会议的前一天），在维斯技术计划期间的整个星期内都有后续活动。 一个主要目标是让学生讨论他们的研究方向在一个支持性的气氛与杰出的领导人和他们的同龄人，谁将提供有益的反馈和新鲜的观点小组。 为此，18名学生将被分成三组，每组6名学生;两名教师小组成员和一名DC联合主席将被分配到各个会议室的每组，以举行他们的演讲。 每个学生将在小组会议期间分配大约30-40分钟的时间，包括关于他/她的博士研究的正式介绍，然后进行深入的讨论和反馈。 所有学生将被分配到专家小组成员中的特定导师，他们将负责阅读学生提交的材料，特别是深度，并提供详细的反馈;其他反馈将由教师小组的其他成员以及其他学生参与者提供。 鼓励讨论。 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可视化研究，他们的主题是否充分集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和呈现，我们的目标是给每个学生的博士研究的第二个意见超出了学生自己的论文导师提供的指导。 现场将为所有参与者（学生和小组成员）提供一个共同的工作午餐，学生将有更多的机会与专家小组成员会面并建立联系。 最后，在一天结束时，将有一个圆桌讨论会，所有参与者会面并讨论技术研究之外的更高级别的主题。 学生的研究将在维斯技术计划期间通过海报传播，并通过在维斯扩展摘要中发表。 组织者将提交一份最后报告（包括与会者的反馈意见），该报告将由维斯执行委员会存档，并提供给未来博士讨论会的组织者。
