                  FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS

Background
----------
The Department of Computer Science at the University of York is hosting
the 5th York Doctoral Symposium on Computer Science (YDS 2012) on the
8th of November, 2012. The goal of the symposium is to bring together
doctoral students from around the UK and Europe to share and exchange
their research and ideas with others. The symposium will promote
interdisciplinary research and help research students to gain experience
in presenting their work to colleagues.


Important Dates
---------------
* Extended abstracts and full paper submissions: August 24th (17:00 GMT)
* Extended abstracts and full paper notifications: October 5th (17:00 GMT)

of active research at the University of York:

Submission Guidelines: Papers and Extended Abstracts
----------------------------------------------------
This year, we will be accepting two categories of papers:

* Full length papers (up to 8 pages)
* Extended abstracts (2-4 pages)

Extended abstracts can describe very early work and ideas; full length
papers should describe work that is more developed. We urge authors to
write with the breadth of the symposium's scope in mind; papers should
be as self-contained as possible, and should not assume specialist
background knowledge, in order to enable as many participants as possible
to engage with the contribution.

Papers and extended abstracts should be formatted using Springer's LNCS
style. Templates and guidelines are available from their webpage:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors

Paper and extended abstract submissions will only be accepted via
Easychair, which can be accessed from the "Submission" page on
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/yds/.


Submission Guidelines: Posters
-----------------------------
Posters must be submitted in two stages.  Posters will be reviewed based
on an initial submission of a one-page (maximum) abstract of the poster's
content, with the camera-ready version of accepted posters to follow.
Please note the deadlines above for these two stages.  Poster abstracts
should be formatted using Springer's LNCS style.  Templates and guidelines
are available from their webpage:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors


Publication
-----------
The proceedings of the symposium (full-length papers, extended abstracts
and poster abstracts) will be published as a technical report by the
Department of Computer Science, The University of York. The report will
be freely available online from
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/library/onlinereports.  Several hard copies
will also  be printed.
