Workshop: Doctoral Consortium at the Fourth International Conference on Communities and Technologies (C&T 2009)

该奖项支持博士联盟将与2009年6月24日至27日举行的2009年社区和技术会议一起举行。社区和技术（C T）会议将社区视为由共同参与者组成的社会实体。此外，C T解决了计算和通信技术影响，启用或阻碍社区及其所采取的行动的方式。博士联盟侧重于谁是竞争性选择参加的博士生的不同集合的智力贡献。博士联盟将通过提供一个智力密集的会前活动，吸引和激励一组关键的教师顾问和博士候选人，帮助建立一个未来的社区信息学研究人员。博士联盟将建立在社区信息学研究人员的多样性基础上，并帮助他们与更广泛的计算研究社区建立联系。发展这种多样性对NSF和CISE/IIS研究社区的活力都是有价值的。

This award supports a Doctoral Consortium to be held in conjunction with the 2009 Conference on Communities and Technologies, June 24-27, 2009. The Communities and Technologies (C&T) conference addresses communities as social entities comprised of actors who share something in common. Further, C&T addresses the ways that computing and communication technologies influence, enable or hinder, communities and the actions that they take. The Doctoral Consortium focuses on the intellectual contributions of the diverse set of doctoral students who are competitively selected to attend. The Doctoral Consortium will help build a future set of community informatics researchers by providing an intellectually intense pre-conference event that attracts and energizes a key set of faculty advisors and doctoral candidates. The Doctoral Consortium will build on the diversity of community informatics researchers and help establish their connection to the broader computing research community. Developing this diversity is valuable for the NSF and for the vitality of the CISE/IIS research community.
