Call for Doctoral Dissertation Consortium Abstracts

(Extended Abstract Submission Deadline: December 1, 2009)

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems
(CTS 2010) is to address, explore and exchange information on the
state-of-the-art in collaborative enterprises, their modeling and
simulation, design and use, and their impact. The conference will include
a session for student doctoral work presentations. The CTS Doctoral
Consortium is intended to bring together PhD students working on CTS
related topics, to provide them a friendly forum and an opportunity to
present, discuss and illustrate their ongoing research in a constructively
critical and informal atmosphere, to obtain valuable feedback from
conference attendees, particularly senior researchers and experts in the
field. Additionally, the consortium is meant to facilitate the interaction
and collaboration with other researchers. Doctoral students who have not
defended their thesis before CTS 2010 are invited to participate in the
CTS Doctoral Consortium.

TOPICS INCLUDE (but are not limited to):
All CTS related topics

DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM SUBMISSION
Students interested in participating in the CTS Doctoral Consortium are
requested to submit an extended abstract between 1-3 pages (written in
English, in the posted IEEE format, single-spaced, double-column,
including figures, tables, and references) with the following: title,
name, affiliation and contact information; name of dissertation
advisor(s); an introduction to the research (problem definition, research
motivations, background and literature review); method used and proposed
solution (idea, existing and planned proposals, innovative aspects of the
solution); current status of the research and expected results; plans to
complete the research; and expected contributions. Include up to 6
keywords from the topics list. Add "Doctoral Dissertation Consortium
Extended Abstract" under the title, author and affiliation. Students
should also provide a reference letter by their dissertation advisor.
Paper and letter should be sent electronically to Dissertation Consortium
Co-Chairs as email attachments. Include a note stating how you expect to
benefit from attending the Doctoral Consortium. Contributions will be
reviewed and selected based on quality, relevance, and research phase. The
selection process will focus on opportunity to benefit from participation,
rather than finished research. All accepted doctoral abstracts are
required to be presented and will be included in the conference
proceedings.
