A Student Forum Promoting Science of Design Issues at the International Conference on Design Science Research in Informations Systems & Technology

0602391Chatterjee，SamirClaremont Graduate University在信息系统与技术领域的设计科学研究国际会议上，一个促进设计科学问题的学生论坛这项提案寻求资金，以支持一群学生，特别是女学生，鼓励她们在信息系统学科中追求设计科学问题。这个学生论坛将与克莱蒙特研究生院组织的第一届信息系统与技术设计科学国际会议(DESRIST 2006)同时举行。本次会议将于2006年2月24-25日在CGU举行。学术价值：这次会议的目标是双重的。我们将创建一个论坛，通过聚集来自不同背景的研究人员，从计算机科学、信息系统和软件工程到对设计范式感兴趣的社会人种学设计师、经济学家和政策制定者，来讨论新出现的问题的解决方案。此外，我们将利用这个机会接触到对CS/IS相关职业感兴趣的不同教育水平的女学生(高中生和大学生)。我们正在申请NSF的资金，以支持出席会议的学生，并使一个面向女性学生的会议能够在IT和设计科学领域寻求职业生涯。更广泛的影响：总的来说，会议和学生论坛填补了我们社区中解决软件和IT构件设计中的几个关键问题的空白。这次活动将：聚集来自不同学科的顶尖研究人员、思想家和实践者，以更好地了解围绕设计科学的问题。学生们将参与讨论，并有机会与将塑造下一代软件设计的研究人员建立网络。解决新的和更好的方式来创建IT人工制品，包括范围、方法、算法、框架、技术等。我们还欢迎关注不同的新兴科学领域，在这些领域，这些设计的人工制品可以做出巨大贡献，从纳米技术到智能个人健康记录。广泛发表会议的成果，包括论文、小组讨论、主题演讲、会议过程中的海报和会后出版的一本书，使之成为了解不同文化和视角对设计科学的影响的国际活动。鼓励妇女参与科学和工程领域。也鼓励本科生参与讨论。已经创建了几个创新的轨道和小组来激励这一代表不足的人口。

0602391Chatterjee, SamirClaremont Graduate UniversityA STUDENT FORUM PROMOTING SCIENCE OF DESIGN ISSUES AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH IN INFORMATIONS SYSTEMS & TECHNOLOGYThis proposal seeks funding for supporting a group of students, and specifically female students, who are encouraged to pursue science of design issues within the information systems discipline. This student forum will take place in conjunction with the 1st International Conference on Design Science in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST 2006) being organized by Claremont Graduate University. This conference would be held Feb 24-25, 2006 at CGU. Intellectual Merit: The objective of the conference is twofold. We will create a forum for discussing novel solutions to emerging problems by bringing together researchers from different backgrounds, ranging from computer science, information systems, and software engineering to social ethnography designers, economists, and policy makers interested in the design paradigm. In addition, we will use this opportunity to reach out to female students at different levels in their education (high school and university students) with an interest in CS/IS related careers. We are asking for NSF funding to support students presenting at the conference and to enable a session orienting female students to pursue careers in IT and design science. Broader Impact: The conference in general and the student forum fills a void in our community to address several critical issues in the design of software and IT artifacts. This event will: Assemble leading researchers, thinkers and practitioners from different disciplines to better understand the issues around science of design. The students will engage in discussions and get an opportunity to network with researchers who will shape the next generation of software design. Address newer and better ways to create IT artifacts including scope, methods, algorithms, frameworks, techniques, etc. We also welcome a focus on different emerging areas of science where such designed artifacts can contribute greatly, ranging from nanotechnology to intelligent personal health records. Widely publish the findings from the conference, including papers, panels, keynotes, posters through proceedings, and a book to be subsequently published after the conference.Make it an international event to understand the influence of different cultures and perspectives towards science of design. Encourage participation from women in science and engineering. Also encourage undergraduate students to participate in the discussions. Several innovative tracks and panels to excite this underrepresented population have been created.
