WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium at ACM Designing Interactive Systems 2014

这笔资金用于支持美国教育机构的3名博士生参加学生联盟(研讨会)，该联盟将与将于6月21-25日在加拿大温哥华举行的2014年ACM交互系统设计会议(DIS 2014)一起举行。DIS年度会议表明人们对下一代交互用户界面的兴趣与日俱增。由计算机械协会赞助，来自北美、欧洲和亚洲的200-300名研究人员和企业领导人齐聚一堂，介绍和讨论用户界面、系统和应用程序的设计和评估方面的最新多学科工作。在今年的会议上将提交大约100篇论文，所有这些论文都将发表在DIS会议记录和ACM的数字图书馆中。该计划还将包括受邀的主题演讲、系统演示、海报会议和各种研讨会。会议特别感兴趣的主题涉及广泛的领域，包括：吸引人们的方法、工具和技术；研究、设计和共同设计交互系统；使用批判性和文化理论来理解、批评和反思设计产品和背景以及设计实践；用户体验；可用性；参与性；赋权；福祉；设计重要的东西；多样性；参与性；实质性；制造；传感器和执行器；移动设备；新型人工制品设计；混合材料和表面；生物电子系统；多点触摸和非触摸式交互；社交媒体；个人、社区和公共展示；健康信息学；信息和通信技术促进发展(ICT4D)；儿童与计算机互动；可持续性；以及新媒体。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问http://dis2014.iat.sfu.ca/.。今年，综合安全分遣队首次组织了一个学生联合会，目的是扩大这一领域的学生出勤率和培训。学生联合会将于6月22日作为全天活动与其他会议讲习班并行举行，将为参加会议的学生提供接触他们的研究社区的机会，有机会介绍他们的工作，并从该领域的同行和资深研究人员那里获得建设性的反馈，并有充足的时间开始建立同行和导师的专业支持网络。有20多名学生申请参加这次活动，大会已经接受了其中的12份，其中3人来自美国。每个学生都要做一个简短的陈述，然后进行公开讨论，并从同龄人那里得到反馈。一名高级研究员将被指定为每个学生的导师，领导讨论，提出问题，并提供具体的反馈。午餐时，会议室将提供三明治，以便学生与同龄人进行一般性讨论，并提供海报供参考；晚上，学生将参加集体晚宴，以进行后续讨论和社区建设。所有学生与会者均可获得免费的会议注册、会议期间的共享酒店房间以及根据需要提供的旅行支持。活动组织者特别努力招募妇女和代表性不足群体的成员；为了进一步增加参与者的多样性，将支持每所大学或研究机构不超过一名学生。

This is funding to support participation by 3 PhD students based in US educational institutions in the Student Consortium (workshop) to be held in conjunction with the 2014 ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS 2014), which will take place in Vancouver, Canada, on June 21-25. The annual DIS conferences represent the growing interest in next-generation interactive user interfaces. Sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery, they bring together 200-300 researchers and corporate leaders from North America, Europe, and Asia to present and discuss the latest multidisciplinary work on the design and evaluation of user interfaces, systems, and applications. At this year's conference approximately 100 papers will be presented, all of which will be published in the DIS Conference Proceedings and also in ACM's Digital Library. The program will also include invited keynote talks, system demonstrations, poster sessions, and a variety of workshops. Topics of particular interest to the conference span a broad range, including: methods, tools, and techniques for engaging people; researching, designing, and co-designing interactive systems; the use of critical and cultural theory to understand, critique, and reflect on design products and contexts as well as design practices; user experience; usability; engagement; empowerment; well-being; designing things that matter; diversity; participation; materiality; making; sensors and actuators; mobile devices; novel artifact design; hybrid materials and surfaces; bio-electric systems; multi touch and touchless interaction; social media; personal; community, and public displays; health informatics; information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D); children-computer interaction; sustainability; and new media. More information about the conference may be found online at http://dis2014.iat.sfu.ca/. This year DIS is for the first time organizing a Student Consortium with the goal of expanding student attendance and training in this area. The Student Consortium will be held as a full-day event on June 22, in parallel with the other conference workshops, and will provide participating students with exposure to their research community, with an opportunity to present their work and receive constructive feedback from peers and senior researchers in the field, and with ample time to start building a professional support network of peers and mentors. There were over 20 applications from students requesting to participate in the event, and the conference has accepted 12 of these, 3 of whom are from the United States. Each student will make a short presentation, followed by an open discussion and feedback from their peers. A senior researcher will be appointed as a mentor for each student, to lead the discussion, ask questions, and provide specific feedback. At lunch, sandwiches will be available in the session room so students can engage in general discussion with peers, with posters available for reference; in the evening, students will attend a group dinner for follow-on discussion and community building. All student participants receive free conference registration, a shared hotel room accommodation for the duration of the conference, and need-based travel support. The event organizers made special efforts to recruit women and members of under-represented groups; to further increase participant diversity, no more than one student per university or research institution will be supported.
