Submission:
The submissions should address specifically doctoral work of the
student and the following elements are recommended:
- A clear description of
the research question and its significance.
- A clear description of
the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the existing
solutions.
- A discussion of any
proposed ideas, and the results achieved so far.
- A clear description of
the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem domain.
- A discussion of why and
how the suggested solution is new or better than the existing
approaches to solve the problem.
The paper length should not exceed four pages. The intention of this
symposium is to support and inspire Ph.D. students during their ongoing
research efforts. Accepted Ph.D. papers will be published in the 2008
IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (ICWS 2008)
proceedings. Participants should register at student rate.
