This proposal describes the Career Development Plan for Dr. Manuel A. Pdrez-Quifiones. The goal is to further develop the Human-Computer Interaction research and education at the University of Puerto Rico Mayagilez Campus (UPRM), and to foster the development of a software industry in Puerto Rico for the creation of K-12 educational software. The proposed research will create algorithms, tools, and methodologies to capture and use dialogue-context in graphical user interfaces, and to allow for portability of this context across desktop and PDAs. The educational career plans include the development of K-12 educational software for schools in Puerto Rico.The research plan includes: Definition of a taxonomy of factors that affect dialogue-context. The taxonomy will include examples on how these factors can be used in the design of context-based interaction. Design and implementation of algorithms to track dialogue-context in a graphical user interface. These algorithms will be based on existing algorithms on natural language interfaces, but will be modified as appropriate to allow dialogue context to be portable between different interface styles. Design and evaluation of new interaction methods that use dialogue-context. Usability studies will be used to assess the effectiveness of dialogue-context in educational programs.The educational plan includes a project to help develop educational software for K-12, as well as other related activities: Participate with the industrial sector to help stimulate the development of a local software industry for K-12 software. Partnership with Oracle Caribbean and Quantum Business Engineering, Inc. is already in place to help develop educational software for Puerto Rico schools. Results from the research effort will be incorporated into the software developed for the educational initiative. Increase collaboration with other educators in Puerto Rico through the organization of local symposiums to discuss the specific needs for our students as related with educational software. Revision and creation of new courses for undergraduate and graduate students in the area of user interfaces, mobile computing and educational software. Continued collaboration in PreEngineering Program, and Industrial Affiliates Program at UPRM, and in other professional organizations.The Career Plan herein proposed is an extension and integration of previous experiences Dr. Pdrez-Quifiones has had as researcher in national laboratories, professor and instructor at several academic institutions, and developer of several shareware software titles for educational uses.

该提案描述了 Manuel A. Pdrez-Quifiones 博士的职业发展计划。目标是进一步发展波多黎各大学马亚吉雷斯校区 (UPRM) 的人机交互研究和教育，并促进波多黎各软件产业的发展，以创建 K-12 教育软件。拟议的研究将创建算法、工具和方法来捕获和使用图形用户界面中的对话上下文，并允许该上下文跨桌面和 PDA 的可移植性。教育职业计划包括为波多黎各学校开发 K-12 教育软件。研究计划包括： 定义影响对话情境的因素分类法。分类法将包括如何在基于上下文的交互设计中使用这些因素的示例。 设计和实现在图形用户界面中跟踪对话上下文的算法。这些算法将基于自然语言界面上的现有算法，但将进行适当修改，以允许对话上下文在不同界面风格之间移植。 使用对话上下文的新交互方法的设计和评估。可用性研究将用于评估教育计划中对话情境的有效性。教育计划包括帮助开发 K-12 教育软件的项目以及其他相关活动： 与工业部门一起参与，帮助刺激发展本地软件行业的 K-12 软件。与 Oracle 加勒比海公司和 Quantum Business Engineering, Inc. 的合作已经到位，帮助波多黎各学校开发教育软件。研究成果将被纳入为教育计划开发的软件中。 通过组织当地研讨会，加强与波多黎各其他教育工作者的合作，讨论我们学生与教育软件相关的具体需求。 为本科生和研究生修订和创建用户界面、移动计算和教育软件领域的新课程。继续在 UPRM 的预工程项目、工业附属项目以及其他专业组织中进行合作。此处提出的职业规划是对 Pdrez-Quifiones 博士之前在国家实验室担任研究员、在多个国家实验室担任教授和讲师的经验的延伸和整合。学术机构以及多个教育用途共享软件的开发商。
