Advances in computing have led to continually deeper integration between computers and human society. Yet as socio-technical systems have grown in complexity, their underlying computational models have become increasingly difficult for people to express, manipulate, and understand. For example, when users put data into a system, they may not be able to anticipate or control how their data will be used by other people or by software in the system. Similarly, when software developers create a new system that is designed to be secure, it is difficult for them to foresee all the ways that attackers will try to compromise that system. Such problems are complicated by the fact that a system's software often contains defects and that different users or agents might simultaneously take actions toward different goals. The research community has provided numerous methods, models, and tools to help users understand, create, and manipulate socio-technical systems. At an even deeper level, other research aims to develop new theories sufficient for understanding the complicated, unstable, and sometimes emergent behavior that results when large numbers of diverse, unpredictable humans are coupled to unreliable software. This award aims to advance knowledge and understanding of solutions to these problems by supporting the Graduate Consortium at this year's IEEE Conference on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC). VL/HCC is the premier international forum for research on the design, theory, application, and evaluation of computing technologies and programming languages that are easy for people to learn, use, and understand. The conference focuses on enabling more people to apply the tools of programming in a variety of domains, which makes it an important context to explore adaptable and customizable socio-technical systems.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.

计算技术的进步使计算机与人类社会的融合不断加深。然而，随着社会技术系统的复杂性不断增加，人们越来越难以表达、操纵和理解其底层的计算模型。例如，当用户将数据放入系统时，他们可能无法预测或控制其他人或系统中的软件将如何使用他们的数据。同样，当软件开发人员创建一个设计为安全的新系统时，他们很难预见攻击者试图破坏该系统的所有方式。这样的问题是复杂的事实，一个系统的软件往往包含缺陷，不同的用户或代理可能会同时采取行动，对不同的目标。研究界提供了许多方法、模型和工具来帮助用户理解、创建和操纵社会技术系统。在更深的层次上，其他研究旨在开发新的理论，足以理解当大量不同的、不可预测的人类与不可靠的软件相结合时所产生的复杂的、不稳定的、有时是紧急的行为。 该奖项旨在通过在今年的IEEE视觉语言和以人为中心的计算会议（VL/HCC）上支持研究生联盟来促进对这些问题解决方案的认识和理解。VL/HCC是研究计算技术和编程语言的设计，理论，应用和评估的首要国际论坛，易于人们学习，使用和理解。该会议的重点是使更多的人能够在各种领域应用编程工具，这使得它成为探索适应性和可定制的社会技术系统的重要背景。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
