Call for Joint BuildSys/SenSys Doctoral Colloquium (PhD Forum)



The Doctoral Colloquium of BuildSys/SenSys 2021 seeks to provide a
friendly, supportive, and constructive environment where Ph.D. students can
explore and develop their research interests in an interdisciplinary
workshop guided by a panel of experienced researchers. The Doctoral
Colloquium offers an opportunity to share experiences with other Ph.D.
students and meet with accomplished international researchers and obtain
feedback from them.



The Doctoral Colloquium committee will review submissions to ensure
quality, relevance, and potential benefit from attendance. Accepted Ph.D.
Forum abstracts will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of
accepted submissions are expected to participate in the Doctoral Colloquium
event. There will be no separate registration fee for the Doctoral
Colloquium.



Current Ph.D. students in the early stages of their career are encouraged
to submit a 2-page research summary describing the work in progress and
including a 100-word abstract. Things to consider for inclusion in the
research summary might be: the expected contribution to the field; the
original idea or thesis statement; the problem domain and the specific
problem addressed; a brief overview of related work; the methodological
approach; research carried out and results so far. The abstract should also
include a one-paragraph biography of the student, including the names and
affiliations of the research advisor(s), and the expected date of
dissertation submission.

Call for Poster and Demos

ACM BuildSys 2020 welcomes exciting demonstrations of novel technologies,
applications, and hardware for the built environment as well as posters
showing promising early work. We seek participation from both industry and
academia for demonstrations and posters. Selection of demonstration and
posters will be based on a short abstract, evaluated based on technical
merit and innovation as well as the potential to stimulate interesting
discussions and exchange of ideas at the conference.



The demo and poster session is a great forum to share your early-stage work
with a broader audience. Accepted abstracts will appear in the regular
conference proceedings. At least one author of every accepted demonstration
or poster abstract is required to register and attend the conference.
