Call For PhD Forum Contributions
MDM's PhD Forum (Doctoral Colloquium) provides an opportunity for matriculated PhD students and recent PhD graduates to present their dissertation research, recently finished or still ongoing, in all areas of mobile data management. The forum encourages the interaction among PhD students, and helps them to obtain feedback from senior researchers from academia, industry, and government. The 2016 edition will be organized as an MDM poster session and extended abstracts will appear in the proceedings of the conference.
The forum calls for extended abstracts from PhD students who are currently enrolled in a doctoral program and graduates who have completed their PhD dissertations since July 2015. Submissions should be singled-authored, but the abstract may acknowledge the contributions of advisers and others. All submission will be evaluated through a peer-review process.
Authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend MDM 2016 to present their poster at the forum. To encourage junior researchers to participate the main MDM events, a special student rate for conference registration will be offered to the authors of accepted submissions. In addition, a number of best poster awards will be given to the most innovative ideas/efforts presented at the PhD Forum.
