ICWE2005 - Doctoral Symposium

Important Dates

Goal

The Doctoral Symposium is a forum for Ph.D. students to publicly discuss their research goals, methods, and results at an early stage in their research in the area of Web Engineering. The Symposium aims to provide useful guidance for completion of the dissertation research and initiation of a research career. Scope Both The Symposium and ICWE provide an opportunity for student participants to interact with other students at a similar stage in their careers, established researchers, and the broader Web engineering community. Students should consider participating in the Doctoral Symposium at least six months before completion of their dissertations, but after having settled on a research area or dissertation topic. Some students selected to attend the Symposium, typically those at a later stage of their research, will be asked to present a talk about their work. Other students selected to attend the Symposium, typically those at an earlier stage of their research, will be asked to present a shorter presentation. We also encourage students that are just beginning their doctoral studies to participate in the Symposium even not submitting research papers. They can participate in discussion and learn from others' experience. Evaluation Each prospective student participant will submit a position paper for consideration by the Doctoral Symposium Committee. The Doctoral Symposium Committee will select participants using the following criteria:
- The potential quality of the research and its relevance to the Web Engineering area.
- Quality of the research abstract.
- Stage of the research work
