[Tccc] [CFP] Doctoral Colloquium @ ACM Sensys 2010

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

** ACM Sensys 2010 Doctoral Colloquium **

November 2, 2010, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

http://www.vs.inf.ethz.ch/events/sensys10dc/


The purpose of the doctoral colloquium (DC) is to provide a friendly,
supportive, and constructive atmosphere where PhD students can present
their research-in-progress for an open discussion, guided by a panel
of experienced researchers and practitioners. Applicants should be far
enough into their PhD to have a concrete proposal, and have initially
outlined the salient issues and proposed research
methodology. Applicants should not be planning to submit their PhD
thesis or dissertation for at least six months after the DC, so that
any advice or input may still be incorporated into the doctoral work.

The DC will be a one-day, seminar-style event, consisting of short
presentations followed by roundtable discussion. Time will be allotted
to each student not only for the presentation, but also for careful,
in-depth consideration and discussion amongst the panelists and DC
participants. In order to provide such individual attention, the
number of accepted DC participants will be limited to twelve.


SUBMISSIONS

Topic scope is the same as that listed in the SenSys call for
papers. DC submissions should consist of a single PDF document using
the SenSys paper template. The document should contain the following:

1) Research summary (3 pages) 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 of
sensor networking; 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.

2) Student biographical sketch, including the names and affiliations
of the research advisor(s), and expected date of dissertation
submission.

Research summaries will be reviewed by the chair and panel members. If
accepted, a student may be expected to make clarifications and
improvements to their research summary by the camera-ready
deadline. Note that the research summaries will not be formally
published, but hardcopies will be made available to colloquium
delegates.
