Workshop: Graduate Student Consortium at Tangible Embedded Interaction 2010

计算正在超越桌面，进入新的物理和社会环境。创新的一个关键领域是有形计算，它通过移动设备、可抓取界面、物理计算和交互表面将用户界面从屏幕推向物理世界。密切相关的是嵌入式交互，在这种交互中，我们与之交互的日常物体和环境以新的方式被计算增强。随着物理工件获得新的计算行为，它们在丰富的生态和不同的环境中变得可重新编程、可定制、可重新使用和可互操作。它们也会变得更加复杂，并且需要大量的设计工作才能实现功能性、可用性和愉悦性。设计这样的系统需要跨学科的思考，使它们不仅包含软件、电子和力学的技术知识，而且还包含系统的物理形式和行为的使用含义，以及它对社会的影响。这笔资金用于支持一个由大约12名来自美国和国外的有前途的博士生以及杰出的研究人员组成的研究联盟（研讨会）。该活动将与ACM SIGCHI TEI-10会议同时举行，该会议将于2010年1月25日至27日在麻省理工学院媒体实验室举行。TEI系列会议于2007年启动，今年已是第四个年头，它汇集了研究人员、设计师、工程师和艺术家，他们致力于有形、嵌入式和具体化互动的新兴领域。它为不同的研究和实践团体提供了一个会议场所，涉及到有形的，涵盖了从计算，硬件和传感器技术，到人机交互，交互设计和CSCW，到产品和工业设计和交互艺术的主题。这个单轨会议的规模（每年约有150人参加）提供了一个独特的论坛，通过会谈、互动展览、演示、海报、艺术装置和表演来交流思想。会议的网址是http://www.tei-conf.org/10.The，在1月24日星期日的主要会议之前，将邀请12名来自TEI领域的研究生与4名教师导师一起参加批判性的讨论和审查他们的工作。学生们将在会议上以海报的形式展示他们的作品，他们的短文将被收录在会议论文集中。此外，参加研究生联盟的学生将有机会与他们的同龄人和四位在该领域经验丰富的教师导师一起审查他们的研究，他们将从不同的角度建设性地批评学生的工作。更广泛的影响：本次研讨会将提高新一代科学家、工程师和设计师的研究技能，他们将塑造以人为本的计算，因为它发生在物理事物和场所。我们已经在观察这一领域对我们日常生活的影响，因为计算已经嵌入到我们的手机、公交车站，很快甚至是我们的衣服中。现在是该领域的关键时刻，因为早期探索性原型的浪潮开始让位于有纪律的调查、工具包的开发和更严格的评估方法。如果该领域在人类计算研究的学术体系中站稳脚跟，要保持其最初的活力和开放性，对下一代TEI研究人员进行指导是至关重要的。研究生联会将安排12名青年学者参加2010年科技创新大会，以扩大参与范围。TEI组织委员会将作出特别努力，招收各种各样的学生参加，特别是寻找在计算机和信息科学与工程领域代表性不足的群体的成员，包括妇女和美国少数族裔。委员会特别关注代表人数不足的群体越来越多地参加会议，并将确保残疾与会者能够参加会议。

Computing is moving beyond the desktop into new physical and social contexts. One key area of innovation has been tangible computing, which pushes the user interface beyond the screen into the physical world by means of mobile devices, graspable interfaces, physical computing, and interactive surfaces. Closely related is embedded interaction in which the everyday objects and environments we interact with are computationally augmented in new ways. As physical artifacts gain new computational behaviors, they become reprogrammable, customizable, repurposeable, and interoperable in rich ecologies and diverse contexts. They also become more complex, and require intense design effort in order to be functional, usable, and enjoyable. Designing such systems requires interdisciplinary thinking, and making them encompasses not only technical knowledge of software, electronics, and mechanics, but also the use implications of a system's physical form and behavior as well as its impacts on society.This is funding to support a research consortium (workshop) of approximately a dozen promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad, along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place in conjunction with the ACM SIGCHI TEI-10 conference, which will be held January 25-27, 2010, at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, MA. Launched in 2007 and now in its fourth year, the TEI conference series brings together researchers, designers, engineers, and artists who are working in the emerging field of tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction. It provides a meeting ground for the diverse communities of research and practice involved with tangibles, spanning topics ranging from computing, hardware, and sensor technology, to HCI, interaction design, and CSCW, to product and industrial design and interactive arts. The intimate size of this single-track conference (about 150 participants annually) provides a unique forum for exchanging ideas through talks, interactive exhibits, demos, posters, art installations and performances. The Web site for the conference is http://www.tei-conf.org/10.The TEI-10 Graduate Student Symposium, which will immediately precede the main conference on Sunday, January 24, will invite twelve graduate students from TEI fields to participate in a critical discussion and review of their work with four faculty mentors. Students will present their work in posters at the conference and their short papers will be included in the conference Proceedings. In addition, students enrolled in the Graduate Student Consortium will have the opportunity to review their research with their peers and with four faculty mentors experienced in the field who will constructively critique the students' work from diverse viewpoints. Broader Impacts: This workshop will sharpen the research skills of a new generation of scientists, engineers, and designers who will shape human-centered computing as it takes place in physical things and places. Already we are observing the impact of this field in our daily lives, as computing becomes embedded in our phones, our bus stops, and soon even our clothing. Now is a critical moment in the field, as a wave of early exploratory prototypes begins to give way to disciplined investigations, the development of toolkits, and more rigorous evaluation methods. Mentoring a next generation of TEI researchers is crucial if the field is to retain its initial vigor and openness as it gains foothold in the academic establishment of human-computing research. The Graduate Student Consortium will broaden participation in the TEI 2010 conference by enabling 12 young scholars to attend. The TEI organizing committee will make special efforts to recruit a diverse set of student participants, particularly seeking members of groups that are under-represented in computer and information science and engineering, including women and members of U.S. minority populations. The committee is particularly concerned with increasing participation of underrepresented groups and will also ensure that the meeting is accessible to participants with disabilities.
