Doctoral Forum

ICEG-2010 is also organizing a Doctoral Forum which will provide a platform for doctoral students from various academic institutions to present their dissertation work in progress and exchange ideas with experts from other academic and research institutions and industry practitioners. A panel of distinguished researchers from academia and industry will preside over the Doctoral Forum to provide research-specific feedback and guidance on methodology to the students.

The Doctoral Forum is designed for advanced doctoral students who have completed all required qualifying exams and have a well-defined dissertation topic that they plan to pursue. This Doctoral Forum will be a half-day event comprising short student presentations followed by a discussion led by the panel.

Submissions to the Doctoral Forum from eligible students must include:

1. A summary of the student's dissertation research (2-3 pages) that includes motivation, related work, initial results and proposed work.
2. Participants can also submit the abstract of the full papers submitted to the main conference for the Doctoral Forum.
3. Two best papers from Doctoral Students will be selected and awarded in the Doctoral Forum.
4. A brief Curriculum Vitae of the doctoral student (limited to 1 page) describing the applicant's educational / professional background and research.
