The ISS Doctoral Symposium (ISS DS) provides Ph.D. students with the
opportunity to meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of
experienced researchers in an informal and interactive setting. Participants
can expect the chance to present their dissertation research in a supportive
environment and to receive constructive expert and peer feedback on their
research topics and possible career paths in both academia and industry. The
Symposium aims to support community building by connecting beginning and
established researchers. The ideal time to apply to participate in the DS is
when some progress has been made in Ph.D. research, and a path to completion is
planned but could benefit from outside opinions and refinement.
Doctoral Symposium papers will be published in the ISS conference companion
proceeding and published in the ACM digital library. All research topics
suitable for the ACM ISS Conference and associated workshops are appropriate
for the DS. The DS chairs aim to achieve diversity among the student
participants, including diversity across research groups and geographical
areas. Refer to previous years’ proceedings for examples:

All Ph.D. students are welcome to apply regardless of whether they are
presenting at the main conference or not. Each submission will be reviewed by
the DS chairs to assess its suitability for the DS, as well as additional
expert reviewers when necessary.
Authors of accepted submissions will present their work in a dedicated session
and registration will be free.
****Submission****
Every submission should include:
• an extended abstract (EA) - no more than six pages in pdf format
according to ACM Master Article Submission Template,
PhD Students should submit an extended abstract that describes:
• the problem that the thesis aims to address;
• the broad approach and how it builds upon and goes beyond key
relevant previous work;
• the work completed and the plan for the full dissertation work;
• open questions/issues for discussion and/or what you want to get out
of participating in the symposium.
In addition to the EA, a short video can also be submitted (not mandatory).
Completed work may be presented as an overview or highlighting a particularly
important part in depth.
Submissions should not be anonymised for review.
We particularly encourage authors of papers in all tracks submitted to ISS 2021
to apply to the DC. As ISS 2021 will be a hybrid conference, there will be
opportunities to participate in the DC both physically and in person.
If you have any questions, please reach out to doctoral2...@iss.acm.org
We are looking forward to your submission.
Kind regards,
Doctoral Symposium Co-Chairs
Mai Otsuki, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
