ICSOC03 Doctoral Consortium
The ICSOC03 Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for doctoral students interested in the field of serviceoriented
computing to share their research work with other students and senior researchers in the field. We hope the
Doctoral Consortium will be a valuable and exciting experience.
Goals
The Consortium has the following specific objectives:
• provide a supportive setting for mutual feedback on participants' current research and guidance on future directions;
• develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research;
• promote network among PhD students working in the area;
• contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers.
Program
The Consortium will be held on during the conference as a co-located event, in the form of an informal panel
discussion consisting of students' presentation on their research interests. Each presentation will be followed by a
discussion in which all participants are encouraged to participate. Presentations are supposed to take 20 minutes
each.
Submissions
We encourage submissions from Ph.D. students at any level, and from any topic area and methodology within
service-oriented computing. The submission should consists of:
• research proposal of the student’s thesis at maximum 5 pages;
• letter of recommendation from student’s dissertation advisor that should include the expected date for thesis submission, and the motivation/expected benefit for the student to attend the Doctoral Consortium.
The selection criteria for the consortium are the quality of the proposal and the relevance to the conference.
Participants will have their abstracts published in a separate volume of the consortium proceedings, published as a
Technical Report of DIT - University of Trento (http://dit.unitn.it/), and distributed to all the conference participants.
