CWE 2016 – call for PhD Symposium papers
The ICWE 2016 PhD Symposium aims to improve the research of PhD
students and broaden their perspectives by giving them the opportunity
to share and develop their research ideas in a supportive environment,
get feedback from senior members of the Web engineering community,
improve their communication skills, exchange ideas and build
relationships with other international Web engineering PhD students.
This event will bring together PhD students working on topics related
to the Web Engineering field. The goal is to provide a forum for PhD
students to present ongoing research in a collaborative environment
and share ideas with other young researchers in an international
atmosphere.
Selected contributions will be presented in a dedicated conference
session where participants will discuss their research ideas and
results, and receive constructive feedback from an audience consisting
of their peers as well as more senior experts in the field. In
addition to that, students will be invited to participate at the
poster sessions so that they also receive comments of other
participants in the conference.
PhD students carrying out research in Web Engineering are invited to
submit a paper to the PhD Symposium, to be reviewed by the program
committee members. We particularly encourage submissions from students
who are at the last stages of their doctoral work but with sufficient
time prior to completing their dissertation, and from those who are in
the beginning stages but have a specific research proposal who can
obtain valuable feedback about their research plans.
The criteria used for accepting a paper include potential quality of
the research, contribution of the work to the field of Web
Engineering, originality of the work, and overall quality of paper.
All PhD Symposium papers will appear in the main conference
proceedings that will be published in Springer LNCS.
