Student Travel Support for the Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE VIS 2018

可视化，或使用交互式图形表示来支持数据分析和理解，已经成为广泛的应用领域不可或缺的一部分。这笔赠款支持大约18名美国研究生参加2018年10月21日至26日在德国柏林(http://ieeevis.org/).)与IEEE可视化会议(VIS 2018)同时举行的IEEE VIS博士研讨会IEEE VIS是学术界、政府和工业界科学和工程可视化进展的主要论坛，将研究人员和从业者聚集在一起，他们对数据分析的技术、工具和技术有着共同的兴趣。VIS博士座谈会的重点是学生的博士论文研究。学生的选择主要是基于研究的卓越，这项研究代表了可视化领域的最新技术。博士座谈会为这些项目提供了一个通过智力交流来形成和改进的机会，也为学生向他们的同行专业人员的关键群体展示和交流他们的工作特点提供了机会。由于学生和导师是一个不同的群体(国籍、性别、种族、科学学科和研究专业)，学生的视野在他们专业发展的关键阶段得到了开阔。支持美国学生参与DC VIS 2018对研究人员、从业者和教育工作者的发展非常重要。IEEE VIS成立于1996年，现已成为全球规模最大、最重要的科学可视化、信息可视化和视觉分析会议。会议的趋势是吸引来自数十个国家的1000多名与会者参加为期一周的研究报告、教程、研讨会、小组讨论、演示、海报、展览和科学讨论。可视化博士座谈会始于2006年，在为当前的博士生提供指导机会方面取得了巨大的成功。在博士座谈会上，学生们展示了他们的博士论文研究，并收到了可视化社区高级专业人员的反馈。这一活动使参与者能够在他们之间以及与资深研究人员之间建立一个专业网络。这一专业网络在他们的职业和教育事业发展中发挥着重要作用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Visualization, or the use of interactive graphic representations to support data analysis and understanding, has become integral to a wide array of application areas. This grant provides support for approximately 18 U.S.-based graduate students to participate in the IEEE VIS Doctoral Colloquium to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Visualization Conference (VIS 2018), October 21- 26, 2018, Berlin, Germany (http://ieeevis.org/). IEEE VIS is the premier forum for visualization advances in science and engineering for academia, government, and industry, bringing together researchers and practitioners with a shared interest in techniques, tools, and technology for data analysis. The focus of the VIS Doctoral Colloquium is the students' doctoral dissertation research. Students are selected chiefly on grounds of research excellence, and this research represents the state-of-the-art in the field of visualization. The Doctoral Colloquium provides an opportunity both for these projects to be shaped and improved through intellectual exchange as well as for the students to present and communicate the character of their work to a key group of their peer professionals. Since the students and mentors are a diverse group (nationality, gender, ethnicity, scientific discipline, and research specialization), the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development. Supporting participation of U.S. students in the DC VIS 2018 is important for the development of researchers, practitioners and educators. IEEE VIS was established in 1996 and has become the worldwide largest and most important conference on Scientific Visualization, Information Visualization and Visual Analytics. The conference trend has been to draw over 1,000 participants from dozens of countries to a week of research presentations, tutorials, workshops, panels, demonstrations, posters, exhibitions and scientific discussions. The Visualization Doctoral Colloquium was initiated in 2006, and has been highly successful in providing mentorship opportunities to current PhD students. Students at the Doctoral Colloquium present their doctoral dissertation research and receive feedback from senior professionals in the visualization community. This event allows the participants to create a professional network both among themselves and with senior researchers. This professional network plays a major role in their professional and educational career development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
