US-Mexico Workshop on Interactive and Ubiquitous Computing uniting the Californias; Ensenada, Mexico, March 2011

这项美国-墨西哥奖将支持一个关于交互式和普适计算的国际规划和研究研讨会，大约有35名来自美国的科学家和学生参加。研讨会由加州大学欧文分校的Gillian Hayes博士和下加利福尼亚大学的Monica Tentori博士，以及墨西哥恩塞纳达科学研究和教育中心CICESE的Jesus Favela博士共同组织，旨在促进人机交互（HCI）和普惠计算（Ubicomp）领域的跨文化交流和研究交流。后者处理由传感器、执行器、显示器和计算元素组成的环境的创建，无缝嵌入日常物品中，并通过连续的网络连接。近年来，研究人员一直致力于利用HCI和Ubicomp的工具和技术来解决重大的人类问题。这两个领域的交叉涉及从医疗保健到可持续性到跨文化协作的各种主题，需要真正的多学科团队，包括来自学术界，工业界和社区组织的人员。研讨会将与一小群高级研究人员进行深入讨论，其中包括来自计算机科学、社会科学和信息科学几个领域的专家，他们利用交互式和普适计算。此外，它还将提供一对一的指导和海报展示。研讨会成果将包括对未来研究、资助、政策和教育方向的建议。

This US-Mexico award will support an international planning and research workshop on interactive and ubiquitous computing, involving approximately thirty-five scientists and students from the United States. Organized by Dr. Gillian Hayes of the University of California-Irvine and Dr. Monica Tentori of the University of Baja California, together with Dr. Jesus Favela of CICESE, the Center for Scientific Research and Education of Ensenada, Mexico, the workshop is intended to promote an inter-cultural exchange and research cross-fertilization in the fields of human computer interactions (HCI) and ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp), the latter dealing with the creation of environments comprised of sensors, actuators, displays, and computational elements, embedded seamlessly in everyday objects, and connected through a continuous network. In recent years, researchers have been focusing research efforts to solve significant human problems using tools and techniques from HCI and Ubicomp. The intersection of both fields addresses a wide variety of topics from healthcare to sustainability to cross-cultural collaboration and requires truly multidisciplinary teams including people from academia, industry and community organizations. The workshop will feature in-depth discussions with a small group of senior-level researchers, including specialists from several areas of computer science, social science, and information science that make use of interactive and ubiquitous computing. In addition, it will offer one-on-one mentoring and poster presentations. Workshop outcomes will include recommendations for future directions of research, funding, policy, and education.
