WORKSHOP: Doctoral Consortium at the 2023 International Conference on Pervasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments (PETRA'23).

这是资助参加博士生联盟的资金来自美国高等院校的六名研究生作者，沿着由杰出的研究教师担任导师（不受本提案资助），将与2023年辅助环境相关普及技术国际会议一起举行（PETRA'23），将于2023年7月5日至7日在希腊科孚岛举行。 PETRA的使命是促进跨学科的研究，研究如何利用无处不在的周围智能环境来提高生活质量，并以更大的能力提高人类的表现。 它是唯一一个汇集了来自各种学科的理论家和实践者的年度会议，专注于普及技术在辅助环境中的应用。 会议成果在不同的应用领域产生广泛的影响，如制造，运输，能源系统，安全和安全，机器人，医疗保健，生物医学，环境和保护。 PETRA汇集了非常不同类型的技术，也解决了敏感人群的重要社会和医疗保健问题，如老年人，或患有慢性疾病的人，如阿尔茨海默氏症，帕金森氏症，脑瘫和其他残疾或创伤。 PETRA会议论文发表在ACM数字图书馆，最佳论文的作者被邀请在会议结束后提交特别期刊。 会议组织者将作出协调一致的努力，吸引妇女、代表性不足的少数群体成员、残疾人和工作重点是与多样性有关的挑战的人参加会议。 有关会议的更多信息可以在http://www.petrae.org上找到。PETRA 2023博士联盟将为在会议上发表论文的学生作者提供一个独特的机会，以获得他们创新思想的额外曝光，同时也加强了进行具有社会影响力的研究的重要性和价值。 该讲习班将使初级参与者能够在他们自己之间以及与高级同事建立一个社交网络。博士生联盟将在会议开始时，会议期间和会议结束时举行特别会议，通过在一组高级研究人员的支持和互动环境中提供实质性反馈和指导，促进下一代研究人员的研究工作。 为学生组织的特别计划包括博士生和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出建设性意见并解决他们的问题。 每个学生将被要求提交一份报告，提供有关会议的反馈，关于他们收到的好处，他们喜欢的演示文稿和原因，以及某些论文和主题与他们的工作的关系。在他们完成这些报告后，学生将参加小组分组讨论会，讨论他们，教师导师将提供指导如何进行进一步的期刊出版。 学生还可以选择提交海报文件，并参加专题会议研讨会。 关于参与者工作的简短论文将在会议记录中发表，关于该活动的总结报告将在会议网站上发布。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This is funding to support participation in a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) of six graduate student authors from U.S. institutions of higher learning, along with distinguished research faculty as mentors (who will not be funded by this proposal), to be held in conjunction with the 2023 International Conference on Pervasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments (PETRA'23), which will take place July 5-7, 2023 in Corfu, 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. Conference outcomes 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. The conference organizers will make a concerted effort to attract participants who are women, members of under-represented minorities, persons with disabilities, and those whose work focuses on challenges related to diversity. More information about the conference may be found online at http://www.petrae.org. The PETRA 2023 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 Doctoral Consortium will consist of special sessions at the beginning, during, and at the end of the conference, to foster the research efforts of this next generation of researchers 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.
