Eligibility

Those who are enrolled as a full-time student in a PhD program at any university as on date of submission of the proposal are eligible. PhD students with a well formulated problem and initial technical approach/results are particularly encouraged to apply as they would benefit from the feedback from the symposium. Although this forum is primarily targeted towards Ph.D. students, BS and MS students who have formulated a research project and obtained some good results will also be considered and hence are encouraged to apply.


Submission Guidelines

Submissions to the Doctoral Symposium should must include the following:

  - Research paper (1-2 pages)
  - Curriculum Vitae (1 page)
  
A submitted paper must not exceed 2-pages, including references, in the standard ACM format available here. A research paper must include a clear problem statement of the research, technical approaches for the problem, the novelty of the problem and/or the approaches, and the results obtained so far. The student author should be clearly indicated, and the advisor(s) should be listed as co-authors. Curriculum Vitae must contain the participant's name, affiliation, advisor's name, theme of research, degrees obtained so far, current status in their degree, and expected graduation date. All papers must be submitted in a PDF format through EasyChair.


Symposium Details

All submissions will be reviewed, and the primary student author of the proposals that are accepted will have the opportunity to give an oral presentation (10-20 minutes) at ICDCN. No-show is not allowed, and will lead to the submission being withdrawn from the proceedings. The accepted submissions will be included in the ICDCN proceedings as a 2-page extended abstract.


Important Dates

Submission Deadline: September 7, 2020

At least one organizer of an accepted Tutorial is required to attend the conference to carry out the presentation. Each accepted Tutorial will receive one complementary conference registration.

Proposal evaluation criteria include the following: relevance to ICDCN, scientific quality, perceived interest and overlap with ICDCN tutorials in the past.

Submission Guidelines

Proposals must include the following sections:
- Title and abstract.
- Introduction.
- Scope, motivation, summary of tutorial.
- If the organizers have had a similar tutorial held in the past, a brief history-description.
- Description of target audience and relevance to ICDCN 2021 research topics.
- Tutorial outline (sections and an overview of their contents).
