This is funding to support travel by 6 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 the upcoming International User Modeling Conference, to be held July 25-29, 2007, in Corfu, Greece. 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'07 will be the 11th 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'07 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 co-director of the NSF-funded Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center on "Studying Robust Learning with Learning Experiments in Real Classrooms" and co-chair of the UM'07 Doctoral Consortium.Broader Impact: Bringing young and creative researchers to UM'07 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.

这是为了支持目前在美国参加博士学位课程的6名学生的旅行资金，以介绍其公认的论文和海报，并参加即将举行的国际用户建模会议，将于2007年7月25日至29日在希腊科富举行。 已经发现，用户建模可显着提高在各个领域的软件系统的有效性和可用性，包括对各种残疾用户的教育应用程序和应用程序。 关于用户建模的国际会议是用户建模和用户自适应软件系统领域的主要双年展活动。 UM'07将是该系列中的第11场比赛。 年轻研究人员在本次会议上的积极参与非常重要，无论是对于该领域的健康还是研究人员本身。 UM'07博士联盟为博士生通过论文研究提供了一个独特的机会，可以从该领域的顶级研究人员那里获得宝贵的反馈。 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能够扩展和发布最初在财团中介绍的作品。 PI是由NSF资助的匹兹堡学习中心的联合指导者，“在真实教室中通过学习实验进行健壮的学习”和UM'07博士联盟的联合主席的联合主任。公民影响：将年轻和创意的研究人员带入UM'07将有助于推进重要且具有社会有价值的研究领域。 对于许多研究生而言，参加用户建模会议的成本超出了其旅行预算。 因此，NSF的资金将通过使许多人能够参加他们原本要错过的重要事件，从而极大地影响下一代用户建模研究人员的职业。 学生将有机会在社区中获得更广泛的创新工作，并获得研究社区高级成员的反馈和指导。 参与还将通过允许他们在专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立社交网络，从而有助于培养这些年轻研究人员之间的社区意识。 PI表示，他将采取行动确保传统代表性不足的机构的参与，并将密切关注包括少数群体和妇女的包容。
