This is funding to support travel of six students currently enrolled in PhD programs in the United States to present their accepted papers and posters, and to take part in the Doctoral Consortium, at this year's International User Modeling Conference, to be held July 23-29, 2005, in Edinburgh. User modeling has been found to significantly enhance the effectiveness and usability of software systems in a variety of areas, including educational applications and applications oriented to users with various disabilities. The International Conferences on User Modeling is the premier biennial event in the field of user modeling and user-adaptive software systems; UM'05 will be the 10th event in the series. Active participation of young researchers in this conference is very important, both for the health of the field and for the researchers themselves. The UM'05 Doctoral Consortium provides a unique opportunity for PhD students partway through their dissertation research to receive valuable feedback from top researchers in the field. Experience has shown that most Doctoral Consortium participants at past User Modeling conferences were later able to expand and publish their work originally presented at the Consortium. The PI is the President of User Modeling Inc., a not-for-profit professional society of researchers working on user modeling and personalization, which is the organizer of the User Modeling conference series.Broader Impacts: Bringing young and creative researchers to UM'05 will help advance an important and socially valuable research field. For many graduate students, the cost of attending the User Modeling conference exceeds their travel budget. Thus, NSF funding will significantly impact the careers of the next generation of User Modeling researchers, by enabling a number of them to take part in an important event they would otherwise have to miss. The students will have 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. Participation will also 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. The PI has indicated that he will act to assure participation by members of traditionally under-represented institutions, and will pay close attention to inclusion of minorities and women.

这笔资金用于支持目前在美国攻读博士学位课程的六名学生的旅行，以展示他们已接受的论文和海报，并参加将于 7 月 23 日至 29 日举行的今年国际用户建模会议上的博士联盟，2005 年，在爱丁堡。 人们发现用户建模可以显着提高各个领域软件系统的有效性和可用性，包括教育应用程序和面向各种残疾用户的应用程序。 用户建模国际会议是用户建模和用户自适应软件系统领域最重要的两年一度的活动； UM'05 将是该系列的第 10 场活动。 年轻研究人员的积极参与本次会议对于该领域的健康发展和研究人员自身来说都非常重要。 UM'05 博士联盟为博士生提供了一个独特的机会，让他们在论文研究过程中获得该领域顶尖研究人员的宝贵反馈。 经验表明，过去用户建模会议上的大多数博士联盟参与者后来都能够扩展和发布他们最初在联盟中提出的工作。 PI 是 User Modeling Inc. 的总裁，该公司是一个由从事用户建模和个性化研究的非营利性研究人员组成的专业协会，也是用户建模会议系列的组织者。 更广泛的影响：将年轻且富有创造力的研究人员带到 UM 05将有助于推进一个重要且具有社会价值的研究领域。 对于许多研究生来说，参加用户建模会议的费用超出了他们的旅行预算。 因此，国家科学基金会的资助将极大地影响下一代用户建模研究人员的职业生涯，让他们中的一些人能够参加他们本来不得不错过的重要活动。 学生将有机会在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并获得研究社区高级成员的反馈和指导。 参与还将有助于培养这些年轻研究人员的社区意识，让他们在自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员之间建立一个社交网络。 首席检察官表示，他将采取行动确保传统上代表性不足的机构成员的参与，并将密切关注少数民族和妇女的包容性。
