Workshop on Human-Centered Computing: Defining the Future of HCI, DST, and UA September 2006-NSF Arlington, VA

人机交互、普遍接入、数字社会和技术方面的长期项目已被合并为一个关于以人为中心的计算的单一“集群”，作为IIS司题为“信息和智能系统：推进以人为中心的计算、信息集成和信息学以及稳健智能”(NSF 06-572)的新征集的一部分。这笔资金将用于支持将于2006年9月在国家科学基金会举办的两个为期1.5天的研讨会中的一个，以回应这一重组。每个研讨会将汇集(一组不同的)当前NSF PIs，他们正在进行的研究横跨目前包括在HCC中的广泛主题，以及选定的具有相关兴趣的研究界其他成员。研讨会的主要目标是教育研究界了解新的肝细胞癌集群和相关的征集活动，并帮助国家科学基金会确定该领域的新趋势。与会者将讨论并优先考虑科学界认为将在中短期内产生重大影响的重大次领域。由于研讨会将在9月份举行，活动将有足够的筹备时间来影响研究界为即将到来的征集截止日期(2006年10月至12月)提交的提案。此外，研讨会对NSF的反馈将在提案审查和资金建议提出之前进行。广泛影响：本次研讨会将为当前的PI和快速增长的肝细胞癌研究社区的其他成员提供一个独特的机会，讨论最新的技术水平，并参与战略规划，以塑造这一对社会未来具有重大影响的新的跨学科研究领域的方向。研讨会将提高私营部门主管对构成肝细胞癌的各种研究主题的认识。它将促进在该领域固有的跨学科重点领域建立联系，还将使年轻研究人员有机会通过与更多有相关兴趣的高级调查人员互动，获得对其当前工作和未来计划的建设性反馈。研讨会组织者将编写一份全面的研讨会报告，研讨会网站将成为研讨会讨论、分组报告等的永久储存库，供广大研究界普遍查阅。

Longstanding programs in Human-Computer Interaction, Universal Access, and Digital Society and Technologies have been combined into a single "cluster" on Human-Centered Computing as part of IIS Division's new solicitation entitled "Information and Intelligent Systems: Advancing Human-Centered Computing, Information Integration and Informatics, and Robust Intelligence" (NSF 06-572). This is funding to support one of a pair of 1.5-day workshops to be held at NSF in September, 2006, in response to this reorganization. Each workshop will bring together (a different group of) current NSF PIs whose ongoing research spans the broad spectrum of topics now included in HCC, along with selected additional members of the research community with related interests. The primary goals of the workshop are to educate the research community about the new HCC cluster and the related solicitation, and to help NSF identify emerging trends in the field. Participants will discuss and prioritize the important subfields of HCC that the scientific community believes will have a major impact in the near-to-medium term. Because the workshop will take place in September, there will be sufficient lead-time for the event to affect proposals submitted by the research community for the upcoming solicitation deadlines (October-December, 2006). In addition, workshop feedback to NSF will occur before proposals are reviewed and funding recommendations made.Broader Impacts: This workshop will present a unique opportunity for current PIs and other members of the rapidly growing HCC research community to discuss the state of the art and to engage in strategic planning toward shaping the direction of this new and interdisciplinary research area with major implications for the future of society. The workshop will broaden awareness among PIs of the rich variety of research topics that comprise HCC. It will foster networking across the inherently interdisciplinary focus areas of the field, and will also afford young researchers a chance to receive constructive feedback on their current work and future plans through interaction with more senior investigators with related interests. The workshop organizers will produce a comprehensive workshop report, and the workshop website will become a permanent repository of the workshop discussions, breakout group reports, etc for general access by the research community at large.
