[hpc-announce] Call for PhD Workshop Papers - ICDCS 2020 @ Singapore (Deadline: March 1, 2020)

[ZHENG Baihua]

ICDCS PhD Workshop is a unique opportunity for graduate students to present and discuss their research work in the context of a premier international conference. The workshop provides a forum that facilitates interactions among PhD students and stimulates feedback from more experienced researchers.
ICDCS 2020 welcomes submissions from PhD students at any stage of their PhD work. If you are in the early stages of your studies, the submission should clearly describe the problem focused on, explain why it is important, detail why the existing solutions are not sufficient, and give an outline of the new solutions that are pursued. If you are in the middle or close to completion, the submission should be more concrete in describing your contribution, but still in the context of the doctoral work.

Submission Deadline
March 1, 2020 (5 p.m. PST)

Submission Guidelines

Papers must be submitted in Camera Ready format and be limited to 6 pages, inclusive of ALL material.
Review Process
The review and decision of acceptance will balance many factors; these include the quality of your proposal and where you are within your doctoral education program. They also include external factors, such as ensuring that, as a group, the accepted candidates exhibit a diversity of backgrounds and topics.
Candidates who have a clearly developed idea, who are formally considered by their institution to be working on their dissertation, and who still have time to be influenced by participation in the PhD Workshop will receive the strongest consideration.
Further Information
We plan to publish the workshop proceedings with all accepted papers in ICDCS Proceedings, which will be indexed by IEEE. The student author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper at the conference.
