Workshop: Universal Usability Doctoral Research Consortium; November 10-11, 2003; Vancouver, BC

这笔资金用于支持一个博士研究研讨会(研讨会)，来自美国和海外的大约10名有前途的博士生与杰出的研究人员一起参加。这次活动将与将于11月10日至11日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行的ACM 2003通用可用性会议(CUU 2003)同时举行，该会议由计算机械协会关于人机交互(SIGCHI)和计算机与残障人士(SIGCAPH)的特别兴趣小组赞助。几年前由Ben Shneiderman构思的He Cuu会议系列代表了一种努力，即建立一个新的研究人员社区，着眼于界面设计的更广泛的社会问题。建设这个社区的一个关键方法是通过它的年轻人。该联盟的目标是将来自不同背景(计算机科学、生物医学工程、人类通信理论和经济学)的博士生聚集在一起，让他们能够看到通用性的更广泛的研究方法，并感受到他们可以在其中进行研究的社区。PI认识到当学生毕业并进入由学术部门定义的研究学科时的压力；他们希望通过与该领域的专家联系来指导与会者的研究，允许这些年轻的研究人员参加CUU 2003会议，展示学术界和行业内潜在的职业道路，并通过具有不同研究兴趣的学生和教师之间的互动来说明通用可用性不同方面的相互关系，以应对这些压力。学生参与者将在联盟期间正式介绍他们的工作，并将收到一个教员小组的反馈，该反馈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，他们的方法是否被正确地选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和展示。学生与会者还将在CUU 2003会议的技术方案中介绍他们的工作。将对该联盟进行评估，评估结果将提供给未来联盟的组织者。广泛影响：该联盟将帮助形成正在进行的和未来的研究项目，旨在解决普遍获取和普遍使用的问题，将促进这一新兴跨学科领域的新研究人员之间的学术和网络联系，并将对这些新的有前途的年轻研究人员的工作给予建设性的反馈，使他们接触到更大的社区。

This is funding to support a doctoral research symposium (workshop) of approximately 10 promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad, along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place in conjunction with the ACM 2003 Conference on Universal Usability (CUU 2003), to be held November 10-11 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Groups on Human Computer Interaction (SIGCHI) and Computers and the Physically Handicapped (SIGCAPH). Conceived a few years back by Ben Shneiderman, he CUU conference series represents an effort to build a new community of researchers that look at the broader, social issues of interface design. A key way to build this community is through its youth. The consortium's goal is to bring PhD students together from diverse backgrounds (computer science, biomedical engineering, human communication theory and economics), so that they can see the broader spectrum of research approaches to universal usability and also feel that there is a community for them in which they can pursue their research. The PIs recognize the pressures of conforming when students graduate and move into research disciplines defined by academic departments; they wish to counter these pressures by guiding the research of the attendees through contact with experts in the field, allowing these young researchers to attend the CUU 2003 conference, presenting potential career paths within academia and industry, and illustrating the interrelationship of different aspects of universal usability through interaction among students and faculty with diverse research interests. Student participants will make formal presentations of their work during the consortium, and will receive feedback from a faculty panel 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. The student participants will also present their work during the technical program of the CUU 2003 conference. Evaluation of the consortium will be conducted, and results of the evaluation will be available to the organizers of future consortia.Broader Impacts: The consortium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at questions of universal access and universal usability, will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in this emerging interdisciplinary area, and will give new these promising young researchers constructive feedback on their work and expose them to a larger community.
