Workshop: The Doctoral Colloquium at UbiComp 2012

这是资助支持博士研究研讨会（讲习班）的约10名有前途的博士生来自美国和国外（最多2名国际学生），沿着与5名高知名度的教师和工业研究人员。该活动将于9月5日至8日在匹兹堡举行的第14届ACM普适计算国际会议（UbiComp 2012）同时举行，并立即举行，该会议由计算机械协会赞助。 一年一度的UbiComp会议是介绍和讨论与无处不在的计算技术、系统和应用的技术和应用方面有关的前沿研究的首要国际论坛。这是一个跨学科的研究和开发领域，利用和集成普及，无线，嵌入式，可穿戴和/或移动的技术，以弥合数字和物理世界之间的差距。 因此，会议汇集了来自不同领域的研究人员和从业人员，包括人机交互，普适计算，分布式和移动的计算，真实的世界建模，传感器和设备，中间件和系统，编程模型和工具，以及以人为中心的验证和体验表征。 有关会议的更多信息可在http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012上找到。全天博士联盟的三个目标是增加参与者的工作在社区内的曝光度和可见度，帮助在下一代研究人员中建立社区意识，并通过在支持和互动的环境中提供高级研究人员的高度建设性的反馈和指导来帮助促进他们的研究工作。 为了这些目的，学生参与者将各自向小组正式介绍他们的工作，并有充足的时间分配给教师小组以及其他学生参与者的问题和反馈。反馈是面向帮助学生理解和阐明他们的工作是如何定位相对于其他研究，他们的主题是否充分集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和呈现。 更多的非正式讨论和网络的额外机会将在博士财团的午餐和晚餐活动。 学生作品的扩展摘要（最多4页）将包含在补充会议记录中，分发给所有与会者。更广泛的影响：博士研讨会将有助于扩大在与无处不在的计算相关的各个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更广泛地了解他们的创新工作，并从研究界的高级成员那里获得反馈和指导。 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。 过去UbiComp博士联盟的几位参与者后来都从事了引人注目的研究工作。 活动组织者承诺从任何给定的机构接受不超过一名学生，他们将作出特别努力，以吸引学生谁是在许多方面（例如，研究兴趣、性别和种族），以便拓宽参与者的视野，使该领域的未来受益。

This is funding to support a doctoral research symposium (workshop) of approximately 10 promising doctoral students from the United States and abroad (up to 2 international students), along with 5 high profile faculty and industrial researchers. The event will take place in conjunction with and immediately following the 14th ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2012), to be held September 5-8, in Pittsburgh, and which is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery. The annual UbiComp conference is the premier international forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting edge research relating to both the technical and applied aspects of ubiquitous computing technologies, systems and applications. This is an interdisciplinary field of research and development that utilizes and integrates pervasive, wireless, embedded, wearable and/or mobile technologies to bridge the gaps between the digital and physical worlds. Thus, the conference brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas that include human-computer interaction, pervasive computing, distributed and mobile computing, real world modeling, sensors and devices, middleware and systems, programming models and tools, and human-centric validation and experience characterization. More information about the conference may be found at http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2012. The three goals of the full-day doctoral consortium are to increase the exposure and visibility of the participants' work within the community, to help establish a sense of community among this next generation of researchers, and to help foster their research efforts by providing highly constructive feedback and guidance from senior researchers in a supportive and interactive environment. To these ends, student participants will each make a formal presentation of their work to the group, with ample time allotted for questions and feedback from the faculty panel as well as from the other student participants. The feedback is geared to helping students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Additional opportunities for more informal discussion and networking will be during the doctoral consortium's lunch and dinner events. Extended abstracts of the students' work (up to 4 pages in length) will be included in the supplemental proceedings which are distributed to all conference attendees.Broader Impacts: The doctoral colloquium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in the various fields associated with ubiquitous computing, by affording 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. Several participants in past UbiComp doctoral consortia have since gone on to high profile research careers. The event organizers have committed to accept no more than one student from any given institution, and they will make a special effort to attract students who are diverse across a number of dimensions (e.g., research interests, gender and ethnicity), so that the participants' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field.
