Overview:-
The Doctoral Colloquium at the UbiComp 2011 conference offers students
in the final stages of their Ph.D. research a unique forum for
presenting their work and engaging in discussion with top experts in the
field of ubiquitous computing. The Colloquium offers students the
valuable opportunity to receive feedback and perspectives on their
research from recognized experts in the field and other senior doctoral
students, and to hear about and offer feedback on cutting-edge research
being performed by other doctoral candidates.
The scope of the Doctoral Colloquium includes all major areas of
ubiquitous computing. Participants will give high-level presentations of
their dissertation research, followed by discussion with the faculty and
other colloquium students. Applicants should be late-stage Ph.D.
students with a well-established direction of research in ubiquitous
computing, who are at still a stage sufficiently far from completion
that their dissertations can benefit from the advice and feedback of the
Colloquium.
Format:-
This year's Doctoral Colloquium will be a whole-day event taking place
before the main Ubicomp 2011 conference. The event will consist of short
student presentations and interactive discussions. Each participant will
have time allotted for a short presentation about his/her research
followed by an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel.
The colloquium will be divided into multiple student presentation
sessions with appropriate breaks in between. The event will conclude
with a final session, in which panelists will have an opportunity to
describe their own Ph.D. experiences and to provide useful suggestions,
tips and advice on how to successfully navigate through a Ph.D and
enrich one's Ph.D experience.
