Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2023 ACM Ubicomp/ISWC Conference

该项目将部分支持两个合办会议的博士座谈会，即ACM普及和无处不在计算联合会议(UbiComp)和可穿戴计算机国际研讨会(ISWC)。UbiComp和ISWC是在可穿戴和无所不在的计算系统的设计、开发、部署、评估和理解方面进行尖端研究的主要场所。历届大会的博士座谈会都为该领域的尖子生提供了一个展示他们的工作并获得反馈的宝贵机会；许多参加过UbiComp博士座谈会的学生后来都成为了该领域的领先学术和行业研究人员。这笔资金将支持学生参与，包括学生的旅费和住宿费，以及执行博士座谈会的直接费用。这笔资金还将允许没有得到现有助学金支持的学生参与，拓宽与会者的组成和视角，使每个人都受益。通过将两个座谈会结合起来，组织者寻求保持小组对每个学生的个人关注，同时最大限度地促进学生之间的跨学科互动。此次活动将汇集可穿戴和泛在计算领域的24名博士研究生，进行全天的演讲和讨论。四名国际知名的教师和工业研究人员将组成两个小组(每个领域一个)；这些导师将为个别学生提供详细的反馈，对所有学生在座谈会上的陈述提供更全面的反馈，并通过一个闭幕的联合小组提供职业发展建议。学生参与者将根据一份长达6页的摘要被挑选出来，描述他们的工作及其对研究社区和更广泛影响的贡献，遴选委员会同时考虑对学生的价值和他们将给学术讨论会带来的价值。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

This project will partially support a Doctoral Colloquium for a pair of co-located conferences, the ACM Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp) and the International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC). UbiComp and ISWC are premier venues for cutting-edge research in design, development, deployment, evaluation, and understanding of wearable and ubiquitous computing systems. The Doctoral Colloquium of each conference has historically offered the top students in the field a valuable opportunity to present their work and receive feedback; many students who have participated in previous UbiComp Doctoral Colloquia have gone on to become leading academic and industrial researchers in the field. The funding will support students’ participation, including student travel and lodging expenses, as well as the direct expenses of executing the Doctoral Colloquium. The funding will also allow students who are not supported on existing grants to participate, broadening the composition and perspectives of attendees to everyone's benefit.By combining the two colloquia, the organizers seek to preserve the individual attention paid to each student by the panel while maximizing the interdisciplinary interaction between students. The event will bring together 24 dissertation-stage doctoral students in the fields of wearable and ubiquitous computing for a full-day session of presentation and discussion. Two panels of four internationally respected faculty and industrial researchers will be convened (one within each field); these mentors will provide detailed feedback to individual students, more general feedback on all student presentations at the colloquia, and career development advice through a closing joint panel. Student participants will be selected based on a 6-page extended abstract describing their work and its contributions both to the research community and to broader impacts, with the selection committee considering both the value to the student and the value they will bring to the colloquium.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.
