WORKSHOP: Student Innovation Challenge at User Interface Software and Technology 2019

这是资金支持学生创新竞赛（研讨会）将在2019年ACM用户界面软件和技术研讨会（UIST 2019）举行。 UIST会议由ACM人机交互特别兴趣小组（SIGCHI）和计算机图形和交互技术特别兴趣小组（SIGGRAPH）共同主办，是人机界面创新的首要论坛。 会议汇集了来自不同领域的人们，包括图形和Web用户界面，有形和无处不在的计算，虚拟和增强现实，多媒体，新的输入和输出设备，以及CSCW。来自学术界和工业界的研究人员和开发人员会面，交流想法，并就与这些领域相关的新硬件和/或软件进展提交报告。 UIST 2019将于10月20日至23日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行。 有关今年会议的更多信息，请访问http://uist.acm.org/uist2019/。 学生创新大赛旨在作为一种催化剂，以增加来自不同背景的学生和初级研究人员的参与，由于其在会议上的可访问性和强大的知名度。这笔资金将补充现有的学生创新竞赛计划，该计划是工业界（提供硬件和软件）与学术界（提供一般框架和指导）之间的合作。组织者希望增加会议对目前代表性不足的社会经济群体的学生和研究人员的吸引力。为此，这些资金将用于支持美国的旅行和会议费用。这些学生来自其他缺乏足够手段参加的团体。 组织者的目标是包括来自不同文化和机构背景的团队，并实现性别平等。 为了进一步增加参与者的社会经济多样性，申请的资金将允许每个教育机构只资助一个团队。学生创新竞赛将有助于塑造未来的研究项目，旨在促进HCI的技术进步。该活动将促进这一跨学科领域的新研究人员之间的奖学金和网络。该竞赛将为学生和新研究人员的工作提供建设性的反馈，并将使这些有前途的年轻研究人员接触到更大的国际社会。建设这个社区的一个关键组成部分是通过它的青年。学生创新大赛将来自不同背景的学生聚集在一起（例如，工程、计算、设计、建筑），以便他们可以看到更广泛的研究和开发方法。 在比赛中，学生将获得特定的硬件来开发创新系统，并在UIST 2019上展示他们的工作。 竞赛的目标是让有前途的学生和年轻研究人员通过一个晚上的活动在国际知名的会议上展示他们的工作和技术技能，并收集该领域专家的反馈，获得一个大型的研究人员和从业者网络在HCI领域，并建立和扩大自己的网络，使这些初级研究人员能够参加整个UIST 2019会议，并为新一代研究人员提供有关学术，研究，工业和非传统职业道路的信息和建议。 学生创新大赛将为学生参与者提供一个机会，向大量国际知名的HCI专家展示他们的技术和创造性技能，并创建一个包括研究人员和从业人员的同行网络。该活动还将为参与团队提供参加完整会议的机会，并让他们探索组成UIST社区的研究的多样性。将对学生创新竞赛及其组织进行评估，并将评估结果提供给未来会议的组织者。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This is funding to support a Student Innovation Contest (workshop) to be held at the 2019 ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST 2019). Cosponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) and the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH), the UIST conferences are the premier forum for innovations in human-computer interfaces. The conferences bring together people from diverse areas including graphical and web user interfaces, tangible and ubiquitous computing, virtual and augmented reality, multimedia, new input and output devices, and CSCW. Researchers and developers, from both academia and industry, meet to exchange ideas and present reports on new hardware and/or software advances related to these areas. UIST 2019 will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana on October 20 -23. More information about this year's conference is available online at http://uist.acm.org/uist2019/. The Student Innovation Contest is intended to serve as a catalyst to increase participation of students and junior researchers from diverse backgrounds, due to its accessibility and strong visibility at the conference. This funding will supplement the existing program of the Student Innovation Contest, which is a collaboration between industry (supplying hardware and software) and academia (supplying the general framing and mentoring). The organizers want to increase the attractiveness of the conference for students and researchers from currently underrepresented socio-economic groups. To this end, these funds will be used to support travel and conference expenses of U.S.-based students from groups that would otherwise lack sufficient means to attend. The organizers will aim to include teams from diverse cultural and institutional backgrounds, with equal representation of genders. To further increase participant socio-economic diversity, the requested funds will allow the financial support of only one team per educational institution.The Student Innovation Contest will help shape future research projects aimed at technologicaladvancement in HCI. The event will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in this interdisciplinary area. The contest will give students and new researchers constructive feedback on their work, and will expose these promising young researchers to a larger international community. A key component of building this community is through its youth. The Student Innovation Contest brings students together from various backgrounds (e.g., engineering, computing, design, architecture) so that they can see the broader spectrum of research and development approaches. For the contest, students will receive specific hardware to develop innovative systems and showcase their work at UIST 2019 as demonstrations. The contest's objectives are to allow promising students and young researchers to showcase their work and technical skills at an internationally renowned conference through an evening-long event and gather feedback from experts in the field, to get access to a large network of researchers and practitioners in the field of HCI and build and expand their own network, to enable these junior researchers to attend the entirety of the UIST 2019 conference, and to support a new generation of researchers with information and advice on academic, research, industrial, and nontraditional career paths. The Student Innovation Contest will provide an opportunity for student participants to demonstrate their technical and creative skills to a large number of internationally renowned HCI experts, and to create a network of peers that includes both researchers and practitioners. The event will also offer participating teams the opportunity to attend the full conference and allow them to explore the diversity of the research that composes the UIST community. Evaluation of the Student Innovation Contest, and its organization, will be conducted, and the results of the evaluation will be made available to the organizers of future conferences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
