IEEE ISWC 2007: International Symposium on Wearable Computers

这是资助博士研究研讨会（研讨会）和学生志愿者计划在第11届国际研讨会上可穿戴计算2007年，将于10月10日至12日在波士顿举行，并由电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）赞助。 ISWC是一个领先的国际论坛，展示与可穿戴系统各个方面相关的研究和实践，包括（但不限于）硬件、电池寿命、电子纺织品、散热、传感器网络、软件架构、操作系统、隐私、人机界面、正式评估方法，以及可穿戴设备在增强现实和培训中的使用，为老年人和残疾人提供支持，并用于许多消费者、工业、医疗和健康应用。 这些会议通常由来自世界各地的约250名专业人士参加，并汇集了研究人员，产品供应商，时装设计师，纺织品制造商，用户和所有其他感兴趣的各方，以分享这一高度跨学科领域的信息和进展。 发表在《国际捕鲸委员会议事录》上的研究报告得到大量参考和广泛引用。 ISWC'07博士联盟将于10月10日举行，将汇集大约10名论文阶段的博士生，与一个教师小组进行演讲和互动。 这些学生将来自美国和国外，代表了ISWC各个子领域的下一代研究人员中的佼佼者。 由于参与者主要是基于卓越的研究而被选择的，他们的工作代表了最先进的技术;即使如此，博士联盟也为这些项目提供了一个机会，通过智力交流来塑造和改进，以及为学生提供机会，向他们的同行专业人员的关键群体展示和传达他们工作的特点。 另一方面，学生志愿者计划为尚未准备好参加博士联盟的有前途的即将到来的研究人员提供了一种手段，可以以显著降低的成本参加所有活动，以换取会议的简单服务，如设备设置和注册台的帮助。 PI将采取积极措施，确保博士生联盟和学生志愿者计划的参与标准将包括适当的多样性因素。博士研讨会将有助于扩大在这一领域攻读研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，让他们有机会在社会上广泛接触他们的创新工作，并从高级管理人员那里获得反馈和指导，研究界的成员。这将进一步帮助培养这些年轻研究人员的社区意识，使他们能够在自己之间以及在其专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立社会网络。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。 这将反过来提高美国在移动的个人计算和通信领域的竞争力，而欧洲和亚洲目前在这些领域处于领先地位。

This is funding to support both a doctoral research symposium (workshop) and the student volunteers program at the 11th International Symposium on Wearable Computing 2007, to be held October 10-12 in Boston, and sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). ISWC is a leading international forum for the presentation of research and practice relating to all aspects of wearable systems, including (but not limited to) hardware, battery life, electronic textiles, heat dissipation, sensor networks, software architectures, operating systems, privacy, human interfaces, formal evaluation methodologies, and the use of wearables in augmented reality and training, for the enablement of the elderly and people with disabilities, and for a host of consumer, industrial, medical, and wellness applications. The conferences are typically attended by approximately 250 professionals from around the world, and bring together researchers, product vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and all other interested parties to share information and advances in this highly interdisciplinary field. Research reports published in the ISWC Proceedings are heavily refereed and widely cited. The ISWC'07 Doctoral Consortium, which will take place on October 10, will bring together approximately 10 dissertation-stage doctoral students, for presentations and interactions with a panel of faculty members. The students will come from both the United States and abroad, and represent the best of the next generation of researchers in a variety of ISWC subfields. Because participants are selected chiefly on the grounds of research excellence, their work represents the state-of-the-art; even so, the Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for these projects to be shaped and improved through intellectual exchange, as well as for the students to present and communicate the character of their work to a key group of their peer professionals. The Student Volunteer Program, on the other hand, provides a means for promising upcoming researchers who are not yet ready to participate in the Doctoral Consortium to attend the conference and have full access to all activities at a significantly reduced cost, in return for simple services to the conference such as equipment setup and help at the registration desk. The PI will take proactive steps to ensure that for both the Doctoral Consortium and the Student Volunteers Program, participation criteria will include appropriate diversity factors.Broader Impacts: The doctoral symposium 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 members of the research community. It will further help foster a sense of community among these young researchers, by allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers 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. This should in turn improve U.S. competitiveness in mobile personal computing and communications, areas in which Europe and Asia currently hold the lead.
