====================================================================================

The 19th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and
Knowledge Management

http://www.ida.liu.se/conferences/EKAW14/home.html

24-28 November 2014, Linköping, Sweden

====================================================================================

The EKAW 2014 PhD Symposium will provide PhD students an opportunity
to present their research ideas and results in a stimulating
environment, to get feedback from mentors who are experienced research
scientists in the community, to explore issues related to academic and
research careers, and to build relationships with other PhD students
from around the world.

The Symposium is intended for students at each stage of their PhD. PhD
students at the beginning of their work should be able to submit at
least a well-defined problem statement and some ideas about the
proposed approach towards a solution. Students in their second or
third year of their PhD will have to submit their research plan, their
evaluation protocol and their preliminary results. All students will
be will have an opportunity to present their work to an international
audience, to be paired with a mentor, and to discuss their work with
experienced scientists from the research community.

All proposals submitted to the EKAW 2014 PhD Symposium will undergo a
reviewing process with a view to providing detailed and constructive
feedback. The international program committee will select the best
submissions for presentation at the PhD Symposium and inclusion in the
Symposium proceedings.
