Call for PhD Symposium Papers
The ICSOC 2016 PhD Symposium is an international forum for PhD students working in all areas related to service-oriented computing.
The goals of the symposium are:
- To bring together PhD students and established researchers in the field of service-oriented computing,
- To enable PhD students to interact with other PhD students and to stimulate exchange of ideas, suggestions, and experiences among participants,
- To provide PhD students an opportunity to present, share and discuss their research in a constructive and critical atmosphere, and
- To provide PhD students with fruitful feedback and advice on their research approach.
This symposium in Banff (Canada) will be the 12th edition of the series held in conjunction with the ICSOC conferences in Goa (2015), Paris (2014), Berlin (2013), Shanghai (2012), Paphos (2011), San Francisco (2010), Stockholm (2009), Sydney (2008), Vienna (2007), Chicago (2006), and Amsterdam (2005).
PhD students working in all areas related to service-oriented computing are invited to submit a paper providing a clear description of the PhD work. In particular each paper must:
- Provide a clear problem statement,
- Outline the research challenges that drive the proposed work,
- Describe the proposed solution, its expected impact, the expected research plan, and the preliminary results,
- Discuss the progress beyond the state of the art of the envisioned research outcome compared to current literature and approaches, and
- Discuss how the work will be evaluated, stating how the suggested solution is different, new, or better than existing approaches to the problem.
Accepted papers presented at the Symposium will be included in the ICSOC’16 post-conference proceedings of satellite events, to be published by Springer in the Service Science series.
