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

该项目将部分支持一对共同举办的会议的博士研讨会，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主要场所。 每次会议的博士研讨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;许多参加过以前UbiComp博士研讨会的学生已经成为该领域领先的学术和工业研究人员。这笔资金将用于支持学生的参与，包括学生的旅费和住宿费，以及举办博士讨论会的直接费用。 此外，还将允许没有获得现有赠款的学生参加，拓宽参与者的构成和视角，使每个人都受益。通过将两个研讨会结合起来，组织者试图保持小组对每个学生的关注，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个论文阶段的博士生在可穿戴和无处不在的计算领域的一整天的演讲和讨论会议。将召集两个由四名国际知名教师和工业研究人员组成的小组（每个领域一个）;这些导师将向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一般的反馈，并通过闭幕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社区和更广泛影响的贡献。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进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。

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.
