Travel: 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS) 2023

这笔资金用于支持六个美国-基于研究生前往一个博士生财团采取之前，并与第25届国际ACM SIGACCESS计算机和无障碍会议（资产2023）一起发生。 ASSETS会议是介绍主流和专业辅助技术的设计和使用的创新研究的首要论坛，以支持与言语，运动，听力和视力障碍，认知限制，情感和学习障碍，老龄化和计算无障碍教育相关的需求，以及与这些人群合作的专业人员。来自世界各地的学术界和工业界的研究人员和开发人员将在ASSETS 2023上会面，交流想法并展示他们的最新工作。 建设任何社区的一个关键组成部分是通过青年。博士生联合会将帮助扩大在这一领域攻读研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，为他们提供机会，使他们在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并从高级研究人员和同行那里获得反馈和指导。它将通过让这些年轻研究人员在其专业发展的关键阶段创建一个社交网络来培养他们的社区意识。由于学生和教师构成了一个跨各种维度的多元化群体，包括国籍/文化和科学学科，学生的视野被拓宽到该领域的未来利益。该资产2023博士联盟将是一个以研究为重点的会议的国际组选定的博士。候选人的指导下，主要研究员和一个小组的杰出研究教师。该活动将由两部分组成：一个介绍和对话的聚会，然后是一个更正式的全天研讨会，其中将包括学生演讲，反馈和小组讨论的混合。学生参与者将收到来自教师小组关于他们的演示文稿的建设性反馈，这些演示文稿旨在帮助他们理解和阐明他们的工作相对于相关研究的定位，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和呈现。因此，博士生联合会将帮助制定旨在辅助技术和普及的正在进行和未来的研究项目;它将促进这些跨学科领域的新研究人员之间的奖学金和网络，并将使年轻研究人员接触更大的社区。与会者将在会议期间的海报会议上展示他们的工作，并进一步将他们融入研究社区，在技术计划中留出了一个会议，所有人都可以在整个会议上展示他们的研究。此外，教师小组将为学术界和工业界的研究人员提供就业机会，以便在考虑职业选择时更好地告知学生。将对该联盟进行评估，并将结果提供给未来此类活动的组织者。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。

This is funding to support travel and accessibility needs for six U.S.-based graduate students to travel to a doctoral consortium to take place immediately preceding and in conjunction with the 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2023). The ASSETS conferences are the premier forum for presenting innovative research on the design and use of both mainstream and specialized assistive technologies in support of the needs associated with speech, motor, hearing, and vision impairments, cognitive limitations, emotional and learning disabilities, aging and education in computing accessibility, as well as the professionals who work with these populations. Researchers and developers from around the world, in both academia and industry, will meet at ASSETS 2023 to exchange ideas and present their latest work. A key component of building any community is through its youth. The Doctoral Consortium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in this field by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior researchers and peers. It will foster a sense of community among these young researchers by allowing them to create a social network at a critical stage in their professional development. Because the students and faculty constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, including nationality/cultural and scientific discipline, the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field. The ASSETS 2023 Doctoral Consortium will be a research-focused meeting of an international group of selected Ph.D. candidates under the guidance of the principal investigator and a panel of distinguished research faculty. The event will be composed of two parts: a gathering for introductions and conversation, followed by a more formal all-day workshop which will include a mixture of student presentations, feedback, and small group discussions. Student participants will receive constructive feedback from the faculty panel regarding their presentations that is designed to help them understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to related research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Thus, the Doctoral Consortium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at assistive technologies and universal access; it will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in these interdisciplinary fields, and will also expose the young researchers to a larger community. Participants will showcase their work in a poster session during the conference, and to further integrate them into the research community a session has been set aside in the technical program where all of them can present their research to the full conference. In addition, the faculty panel will give a presentation on job opportunities for researchers both in academia and in industry, to better inform the students when considering career options. An evaluation of the consortium will be carried out and the results made available to the organizers of future such events.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.
