CALL FOR PHD FORUM ABSTRACTS


The PhD forum at the Networked Systems 2017 follows the tradition and
format of similar events at international conferences such as PerCom,
UbiComp, and Pervasive. The aim is twofold. First, it should
provide PhD students in an early phase of their career with an
opportunity to discuss their topics with experts and gain general
feedback as well as specific comments on their proposal. Second,
the PhD Forum is an excellent opportunity for young researchers
to start a personal network with other PhD students as well as
with already established experts.


*Format*

The aim of the PhD forum is to discuss research topics and PhD
projects at different stages (early to senior). The PhD forum involves
the discussion of meta aspects and experiences in course of a PhD. In
addition to the colloquium a presentation of all participants at the
main conference will take place as a poster session. A brief
introduction of the topics (One-Minute-Madness) is used to attract
conference participants.

*Submission Process*

Prospective participants are required to submit their application
documents via https://sdnflex.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/phdforum/

* Research Statement: a two-page abstract (IEEE, at least 10pt font,
2-column format) that sketches the research proposal of the PhD student,
the contribution to knowledge and how the research will advance the
state of the art. The research proposal will not appear in the official
conference proposal but is planned to be published on the conference
web page.

* Curriculum Vitae: a brief CV that lists the education, research
interests and – if available – publications.

In addition, a poster has to be presented at the main conference in a
special PhD poster session.
