CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS ********************************************** Ph.D. Forum, ACM MobiSys 2012 June 25, 2012 Low Wood Bay, Lake District, United Kingdom http://phdforum.org/ **********************************************
SCOPE Held in conjunction with 2012 ACM MobiSys, the Ph.D. Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This meeting is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Best Speaker Award will be awarded for the best presentation at the forum. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March, 15, 2012 Notification deadline: April 15, 2012 Cameraready deadline: May 15, 2012 Event date: June 25, 2012 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions should consist of the following: * An extended abstract of the students dissertation research (up to 2 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear delineation of prior work and proposed work will help the panel provide more useful suggestions. * A short biographical sketch (1 page maximum) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his or her dissertation. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to [email protected]. If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Note that the submissions will not be formally published, but hardcopies will be made available to workshop participants and panelists.
