PhD Forum at ADCOM 2018 – Call for Submissions

The Advanced Computing and Communications Society (ACCS) is a registered scientific society founded to provide a forum to individuals, institutions and industry to encourage the promotion of advanced computing and communications technologies.

The PhD Forum@ADCOM is a short-paper session for PhD students to present and discuss their dissertation research with people in the Computational and Communications Sciences. It is a platform that enables PhD students to get feedback on their research and industry to get insight into academic work in progress. Participation in the forum is open to all Doctoral students working on relevant area in Computer Science, Electronics and Communication Engineering and related disciplines. This Forum is one of our flagship events during our annual ADCOM conference and presents an opportunity for Doctoral students to become part of a motivated special interest group of like-minded young researchers to meet the leading scholars and prominent industry groups for post doctoral opportunities.

PhD students who have progressed significantly in their research areas (submitted their PhD thesis synopsis) or have at least one Conference / Symposium / Journal paper (either published or accepted) can submit a short paper for presentation at the meeting. Submissions should not exceed four-pages in PDF format of the dissertation or research (in two-column format, using 10-11 pt. fonts and single-spaced lines), including name, institution, advisor, contact information, as well as figures, and bibliography (if applicable).  Papers on topics unrelated to the dissertation will not be considered during the review process.  Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and available on an open-access digital platform.
