ProDoc at DocEng
Doctoral Consortium at the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering

Call for Submissions

Submission Deadline: June 5, 2013 (24:00 CEST)

Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2013

--------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first time, the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering will
feature a doctoral consortium, called ProDoc at DocEng.

PhD students present their dissertation project and will get
feedback from a panel of senior researchers as well as from the
general audience.

ProDoc at DocEng is intended to provide constructive criticism and help
PhD students in formulating their research question, deciding about
methods and approaches to use, and creating further ideas.  It is a
good place to learn about how to conduct a dissertation project and to
learn about leading edge research, the results of which might be
presented at one of the next Symposia.  Participants of ProDoc at DocEng
register for DocEng 2013 and will thus be able to attend all sessions
of the Symposium.

ProDoc at DocEng will take place during the Symposium.  Each participant
will be allocated 10 minutes for presentation, followed feedback and
questions.  There will be no publication for ProDoc at DocEng.

You are not required to have an accepted paper/poster/demo for DocEng
2013 to be eligible for ProDoc at DocEng.  However, if you are author or
co-author of an accepted submission, we encourage you to present your
dissertation project at ProDoc at DocEng.

For participation, please provide a proposal, briefly outlining your
dissertation topic.  Please also state your affiliation or/and
employer, your main supervisor and your academic background.  See
below for details. 

PhD students accepted for ProDoc at DocEng are eligible to apply for
Student Travel Awards, for details see:
