Call For Submissions
A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services
June 15, 2010
San Francisco, CA USA
http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~dlmccoy/mobisysforum10/
Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2010
-----------------------------------
Overview:
The PhD 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 forum 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.
Travel Grants:
MobiSys 2010 is pleased to provide travel support to selected US based
graduate students to broaden the participation in our main
conference and workshops. Travel support will provide up to $1000 per
student to help cover the cost of the student's travel, lodging,
meals, and conference registration fees. We encourage the
participation from women, underrepresented minorities, and persons
with disabilities. Preference will be given to PhD Forum participants
and presenters at the main conference but we will also seriously
consider applications from presenters of posters, demos, or papers at
other MobiSys 2010 workshops. Travel support is made possible by a
grant from the National Science Foundation.
Awards:
$500 will be awarded for the best presentation at the forum.
Format:
This year's PhD Forum will be a one-day event consisting of short
student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each
participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well
as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order
to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number
of participants to no more than 10 presenters.
The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which
panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions
and advice to the entire group.
Submission:
Submissions should consist of the following
1. An extended abstract of the student's 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.
2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants
affiliations and research activities. This should include the date
that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation.
Authors should follow the style formatting guidelines for MobiSys
papers. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to
mobisys.phdforum.2010@gmail.com.
If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or
clarification by the camera-ready deadline.
