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

该项目将部分支持两个共同举办的会议的博士讨论会，即ACM普适和普适计算联合会议（UbiComp）和可穿戴计算机国际研讨会（ISWC）。UbiComp和ISWC是设计、开发、部署、评估和理解可穿戴和普适计算系统的前沿研究的首要场所。从历史上看，每次会议的博士讨论会都为该领域的顶尖学生提供了一个宝贵的机会来展示他们的工作并获得反馈；许多参加过以往UbiComp博士座谈会的学生已经成为该领域领先的学术和工业研究人员。这笔资金将支持学生的参与，包括学生的交通费和住宿费，以及执行博士研讨会的直接费用。这笔资金还将允许没有获得现有资助的学生参与，扩大与会者的组成和观点，使每个人都受益。通过结合两场讨论会，组织者寻求保持小组对每个学生的个人关注，同时最大限度地提高学生之间的跨学科互动。该活动将汇集24位在可穿戴和普适计算领域的博士研究生，进行一整天的演讲和讨论。将召集由四名国际知名教师和工业研究人员组成的两个小组（每个领域一个小组）；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演讲提供更全面的反馈，并通过一个联合小组提供职业发展建议。学生参与者将根据一份6页的扩展摘要来选择，该摘要描述了他们的工作及其对研究界和更广泛影响的贡献，选择委员会将考虑对学生的价值以及他们将为研讨会带来的价值。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

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.
