We invite doctoral students working on any aspect of the computing to submit an extended abstract describing the research problem they tackle in the context of their Ph.D. Each abstract will be thoroughly reviewed. The students whose abstracts get accepted will have the opportunity to present their research agenda and interact with both their peers and experienced faculty during the symposium. All students are encouraged to submit an abstract, though preference will be given to students who are at an early stage of their Ph.D. (up to third year).

Important dates
Extended Abstracts Due: October 1, 2008
Notification of Acceptance: November 1, 2008
Camera Ready Abstracts Due: November 20, 2008
Ph.D. Symposium: During December 10-12, 2008
Paper Submission
Extended abstracts should not exceed four pages. These should be formatted according to Springer LNCS guidelines (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html/) and
submitted electronically as pdf files to the symposium chair at gore[At]mnnit.ac.in.
The students may organize their extended abstract according to the following template:
- Research Problem: gives a description of the overall research problem tackled in the context of the Ph.D.
- Related Work: discusses the state of the art in the field of research.
- Contributions: describes how the proposed work will advance the state of the art, summarizes the expected contributions and realworld usecases if any.
- Evaluation: describes the methodology used to evaluate/validate the results of the proposed dissertation.
- Work Plan: sketches the different stages of the thesis, clearly differentiating between the results achieved so far, current work and planned work.
The best submissions in terms of innovation, scientific soundness and clarity of presentation will be invited to the symposium for presentation and would be granted free conference registration. Further, the best presentation at conference will be awarded a cash prize of Rs5000/.
