IPSN 2015 PhD Forum
The PhD Forum of IPSN 2015 seeks to provide a friendly, supportive, and constructive environment where PhD students can present their research in progress for an open discussion guided by a panel of experienced researchers and practitioners.
The PhD Forum will be structured as a series of short presentations by the students followed by individual discussions, feedback, and advise. The forum will also feature presentations by leading researchers, who will provide their own perspectives on current and future research trends in networked sensing, as well as on how to best purse a Ph.D. in this field. Participating students will also have the opportunity to present a poster during the main conference to leverage further interaction with IPSN attendees.
Current Ph.D. students in the early stages of their career are encouraged to submit a 2-page extended abstract about their dissertation research to be considered for the PhD Forum. The abstract shall also include a one-paragraph bio of the student, along with information on how long he/she has been in the Ph.D. program and the expected time until graduation. The student should be the sole author, although contributions of the advisor and others should be acknowledged. The PhD Forum committee will review submissions to ensure quality, relevance, and potential benefit from attendance. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to participate in person in the PhD Forum - to be held on April 13, 2015 - and to present a poster at the main conference. There will be no separate registration fee for the PhD Forum.
