This is funding to support a doctoral research symposium (workshop) of approximately 8 promising doctoral students along with 4 distinguished research faculty. The event will take place in conjunction with and immediately preceding the 24th ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST 2011), to be held October 16-19, in Santa Barbara, California, and sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Human Computer Interaction (SIGCHI). The annual UIST conference is the premier international forum for presenting innovative research results as well as implementation experiences in the software and technology of human computer interaction. It brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas that include traditional graphical and web user interfaces, tangible and ubiquitous computing, virtual and augmented reality, multimedia, new input and output devices, and computer-supported cooperative work. More information about the conference may be found at http://www.acm.org/uist.This year's doctoral research symposium will be just the 9th such workshop associated with the UIST conferences (NSF has offered support for these events from their inception). The three goals of this full-day event are to increase the exposure and visibility of the participants' work within the community, to help establish a sense of community among this next generation of researchers, and to help foster their research efforts by providing substantive feedback and guidance from a group of senior researchers in a supportive and interactive environment. To these ends, student participants will each make formal 20-minute presentations of their work to the group, to be followed by an extensive discussion lasting approximately 30 minutes during which they will receive feedback from a faculty panel; the feedback is geared to helping 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 appropriately analyzed and presented. The students will also present their research to a wider audience through posters at the conference poster reception, brief overviews during the conference overview session, and short papers in the Conference Companion and DVD. Broader Impacts: The doctoral symposium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in the field of user interface software and technology, by providing them 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. It will further 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. Because the students and faculty constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field. The organizers of the event will make special efforts to attract students from institutions not historically heavily represented at UIST and to foster diversity across under-represented groups.

这笔资金用于支持约 8 名有前途的博士生和 4 名杰出研究人员参加的博士研究研讨会（研讨会）。该活动将与第 24 届 ACM 用户界面软件和技术研讨会 (UIST 2011) 同期举行，并紧接该研讨会之前举行，该研讨会将于 10 月 16 日至 19 日在加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉举行，由计算机特殊兴趣协会赞助人机交互小组 (SIGCHI)。 一年一度的 UIST 会议是展示人机交互软件和技术创新研究成果以及实施经验的首要国际论坛。 它汇集了来自不同领域的研究人员和从业者，包括传统的图形和网络用户界面、有形和普适计算、虚拟和增强现实、多媒体、新的输入和输出设备以及计算机支持的协作工作。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问 http://www.acm.org/uist。今年的博士研究研讨会将是与 UIST 会议相关的第九届此类研讨会（NSF 从一开始就为这些活动提供支持） 。 这次全天活动的三个目标是增加参与者工作在社区内的曝光度和可见度，帮助下一代研究人员建立社区意识，并通过提供实质性反馈来帮助促进他们的研究工作以及一群高级研究人员在支持性和互动环境中的指导。 为此，学生参与者将各自向小组进行 20 分钟的正式展示，然后进行持续约 30 分钟的广泛讨论，在此期间他们将收到来自教师小组的反馈；反馈旨在帮助学生理解和阐明他们的工作相对于其他研究的定位，他们的主题是否充分集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和呈现。 学生们还将通过会议海报招待会上的海报、会议概述会议上的简要概述以及会议配套文件和 DVD 中的短论文向更广泛的受众展示他们的研究成果。 更广泛的影响：博士研讨会将帮助扩大在用户界面软件和技术领域攻读研究生的年轻研究人员的参与，为他们提供在社区中获得更广泛的创新工作机会，并获得反馈和指导的机会研究界的高级成员。 它将进一步帮助这些年轻研究人员建立社区意识，让他们在自己之间以及在专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立社交网络。 由于学生和教师构成了一个跨维度的多元化群体，因此学生的视野被拓宽，以利于该领域的未来发展。该活动的组织者将做出特别努力，以吸引历史上在 UIST 中代表性不足的院校的学生，并促进代表性不足群体的多样性。
