This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) of approximately 10 promising graduate students from U.S. institutions of higher learning, along with at least 3 distinguished research faculty as mentors, to be held in conjunction with the Twelfth International Conference on Pervasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments (PETRA 2019), which will take place June 5-7 on the island of Rhodes, Greece. The PETRA mission is to promote interdisciplinary research on ways to use pervasive ambient intelligent environments to improve the quality of life and enhance human performance with greater capabilities. It is the only annual conference that brings together theoreticians and practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines to focus on the application of pervasive technologies to assistive environments. Outcomes of this conference have a broad impact in diverse application areas such as manufacturing, transportation, energy systems, security and safety, robotics, healthcare, biomedicine, environment and conservation. PETRA brings together very different types of technologies to also address important social and healthcare issues for sensitive populations, such as the elderly, or persons suffering from chronic conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities or traumas. The PETRA proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library, and the authors of the best papers are invited to submit to special journal issues after the end of the conference. More information about the conference may be found online at http://www.petrae.org. The PETRA 2019 Doctoral Consortium will afford student authors of papers accepted for presentation at the conference a unique opportunity to gain additional exposure for their innovative ideas while also receiving reinforcement for the importance and value of conducting research with societal impact. The workshop will allow the junior participants to create a social network both among themselves and with senior colleagues. The organizing committee will make a concerted effort to attract participants who are women, members of under-represented minorities, and persons with disabilities; to further assure diversity, NSF funds will be used to support no more than 2 student participants from any one institution, and if 2 students are supported, one of them must be a minority or person with disability. To date, over 250 students based in U.S. educational institutions have been able to benefit from NSF support of the PETRA Doctoral Consortia.The goals of the Doctoral Consortium, which will consist of special sessions at the beginning, during, and at the end of the conference, 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 in a supportive and interactive environment from a group of senior researchers. The special program organized for the students includes sessions between the doctoral students and the faculty mentors, in which the students will discuss their work and ask questions; the faculty mentors will provide constructive comments on the students' work and address their questions. Each student will be asked to submit a report that provides feedback about the conference, regarding the benefits they received, which presentations they liked and why, and how certain papers and topics relate to their work. After they finish these reports, students will participate in small group breakout sessions to discuss them, and the faculty mentors will provide guidance on how to proceed for further journal publication. Students will also have the option to submit a poster paper and to attend conference workshops on special topics. Short papers on the participants' work will be published in the conference proceedings, and a summary report on the event will be posted on the conference website.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.

这是为了支持来自美国高等教育机构的大约10名有前途的研究生的博士财团（研讨会），以及至少3位杰出的研究学院作为导师辅助环境（Petra 2019），将于6月5日至7日在希腊罗德岛举行。 佩特拉（Petra）的使命是促进跨学科研究，以利用普遍的环境智能环境来改善生活质量，并以更大的能力提高人类绩效。 这是唯一一场年度会议汇集了来自各种学科的理论家和从业者，以专注于应用普遍技术在辅助环境中的应用。 这次会议的成果对各种应用领域（例如制造，运输，能源系统，安全与安全，机器人技术，医疗保健，生物医学，环境和环境和保护）产生了广泛的影响。 佩特拉（Petra）汇集了非常不同类型的技术，还可以解决敏感人群的重要社会和医疗保健问题，例如老年人，或患有慢性病的人，例如阿尔茨海默氏症，帕金森氏症，帕金森氏症，脑瘫和其他残疾或其他残疾或创伤。 PETRA程序发表在ACM数字图书馆中，并邀请最佳论文的作者在会议结束后提交特殊期刊问题。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问http://www.petrae.org。 PETRA 2019博士联盟将为会议上接受介绍的论文的学生作者提供一个独特的机会，以获得其创新思想的额外曝光率，同时还获得了对具有社会影响的研究的重要性和价值的强化。 该研讨会将使初级参与者之间以及与高级同事之间建立一个社交网络。组织委员会将共同努力，以吸引妇女，代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人的参与者；为了进一步确保多样性，NSF资金将用于支持任何一个机构的2名学生参与者，如果支持2个学生，其中一个必须是少数或残疾人。 迄今为止，总部位于美国教育机构的250多名学生已经能够从NSF的Petra博士联盟的支持中受益。博士联盟的目标将在开始时，期间和结束时进行特殊会议。会议是为了提高参与者在社区中的工作的曝光率和可见性，以帮助建立下一代研究人员之间的社区意识，并通过提供实质性的反馈和指导来提供支持和互动，以帮助促进他们的研究工作。一群高级研究人员的环境。 为学生组织的特别计划包括博士生与教师导师之间的会议，学生将讨论他们的工作并提出问题；教师导师将对学生的工作提供建设性的评论，并解决他们的问题。 将要求每个学生提交一份报告，以提供有关会议的反馈，他们收到的收益，他们喜欢的演讲以及为什么以及某些论文和主题与他们的工作有何关系。完成这些报告后，学生将参加小组突破课程讨论它们，教师导师将提供有关如何进行进一步期刊出版物的指导。 学生还可以选择提交海报纸并参加有关特殊主题的会议研讨会。 有关参与者工作的简短论文将发表在会议记录中，并将在会议网站上发布有关该活动的摘要报告。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过该基金会的知识分子优点评估来支持的。和更广泛的影响审查标准。
