WORKSHOP: ACM GROUP 2020 Doctoral Consortium

这笔资金用于支持一个由大约10名有前途的研究生组成的博士联盟(研讨会)，以及一个由4名杰出研究人员组成的小组作为导师。此次活动将与将于1月4日至8日在佛罗里达州萨尼贝尔岛举行的2020年支持小组工作国际会议(GROUP 2020)同时举行，该会议由ACM的计算机-人类交互特别兴趣小组(SIGCHI)赞助。25年来，每两年举行一次的小组会议一直是介绍和讨论关于组织行为学、信息系统、社会信息学、人机交互(HCI)和计算机支持的协作工作(CSCW)的研究和实践的主要国际论坛，为基于计算机的协作系统的开发、引入、管理、部署和分析方面的创新工作提供了一个展示窗口。在小组会议记录中发表的研究报告被严格审查并被广泛引用。欲了解更多信息，请访问https://group.acm.org/conferences/group20/.。博士联盟专注于参与的学生的博士论文，并为这些项目提供了通过智力交流形成的机会，也提供了向早期职业研究人员的关键群体交流工作特点的机会。这个研讨会对团体研究界和社会都有短期和长期的好处。短期内，该活动将汇聚探索与会议相关领域的下一代研究人员中的佼佼者，将允许学生们在他们自己之间以及与几名资深研究人员建立一个社交网络，并将促进他们融入该领域。此外，研讨会将为高级博士生提供一个向与会者宣传自己和他们的工作的途径，其中许多人可能正在招聘。最后，预计学生和教职员工将在几个方面(例如，科学学科、性别、机构从属关系、少数族裔地位不足)成为一个多样化的群体，这将有助于在学生专业发展的关键阶段拓宽学生的视野。从长远来看，组织者期望参加博士联盟的学生将通过将自己作为未来几代学生的导师来回馈社区，这些杰出的学生将成为团队社区的未来领导者。2020组博士联盟将于1月5日(星期日)以全天的会前研究研讨会开始，随后是整个会议的综合活动，包括在海报/演示招待会上的陈述和反思总结会议。学员将是主要来自美国的后期博士生，将代表包括计算机和信息科学、信息系统和通信在内的各种学科。每个学生都将提出他们的工作总结以供公众评论，并讨论目前尚未解决的问题；这将帮助学生理解和阐明他们的工作相对于其他研究的定位，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否被正确地选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析。工作午餐将集中于管理委员会和学习如何“出色完成”，而工作晚餐将集中讨论职业发展计划，包括在学术界和行业寻找工作的最佳策略。讲习班的目标是建立一批年轻的研究人员，然后他们将在世界各地建立一个同事网络，通过让专家担任导师和提供建议来指导和塑造新研究人员的工作，为选择小组研究专题提供鼓励和支持，使有希望的新进入该领域的人能够参加一次领先的研究会议，并向他们说明小组研究的相互关系和多样性。总的来说，让新进入者在小组会议上的经历变得愉快和有意义，从而鼓励他们返回并在未来的系列会议上提交。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。

This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) for approximately 10 promising graduate students along with a panel of 4 distinguished research faculty as mentors. The event will take place in conjunction with the 2020 International Conference on Supporting Group Work (GROUP 2020), to be held January 4-8 on Sanibel Island, Florida, and sponsored by ACM's Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). For over 25 years, the bi-annual GROUP conferences have been a leading international forum for the presentation and discussion of research and practice on organizational behavior, information systems, social informatics, human-computer interaction (HCI), and computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), providing a showcase for innovative work on the development, introduction, management, deployment, and analysis of computer-based collaborative systems. Research reports published in the GROUP conference proceedings are rigorously reviewed and widely cited. More information is available online at https://group.acm.org/conferences/group20/. The Doctoral Consortium focuses on participating students' doctoral dissertations and provides both an opportunity for these projects to be shaped through intellectual exchange as well as an opportunity to communicate the character of the work to a key group of early career researchers. There are both short- and long-term benefits to the GROUP research community and to society from this workshop. In the short term, the event will bring together the best of the next generation of researchers exploring the fields relevant to the conference, will allow the students to create a social network both among themselves and with several senior researchers, and will facilitate their enculturation into the field. Furthermore, the workshop will provide an avenue for advanced Ph.D. students to advertise themselves and their work to conference attendees, many of whom may be hiring. Finally, the students and faculty are anticipated to be a diverse group on several dimensions (e.g., scientific discipline, gender, institutional affiliation, underrepresented minority status), which will help broaden the students' horizons at a critical stage in their professional development. In the longer term, the organizers expect that students who have participated in the Doctoral Consortium will give back to the community by engaging as mentors themselves to future generations of students, and that these exceptional students will be the future leaders of the GROUP community.The GROUP 2020 Doctoral Consortium will begin with a full day pre-conference research-focused workshop on Sunday, January 5, followed by events integrated throughout the conference, including presentations at the posters/demos reception and a reflective wrap-up session. The student participants will be later stage doctoral candidates primarily from the United States, and will represent a variety of disciplines including computer and information science, information systems, and communications. Each student will present a summary of their work for public critique and will discuss currently open questions; this will help the 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 being appropriately analyzed. The working lunch will focus on managing one's committee and learning how to "finish well" while the working dinner will focus on career development plans, including best strategies for the job search in academe and industry. The goals of the workshop are to build a cohort group of young researchers who will then have a network of colleagues spread across the world, to guide and shape the work of the new researchers by having experts serve as mentors and give advice, to provide encouragement and support for the selection of GROUP research topics, to make it possible for promising new entrants to the field to attend a leading research conference and to illustrate for them the interrelationship and diversity of GROUP research, and in general to make the new entrants' experience at the GROUP conference enjoyable and rewarding so that they will be encouraged to return and submit to future conferences in the series.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.
