**************************************************** *** CCGrid 2019 Doctoral Symposium *** https://www.ccgrid2019.org/pages/doctoral.html *** Papers due 31 January 2019 (extended) *** 14-17 May 2019 in Larnaca, Cyprus ***************************************************** The Doctoral Symposium of the 19th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid2019) provides a forum for students in all areas of Cluster, Grid and Cloud research to obtain visibility, feedback and advice on their Ph.D. dissertation topics and on their research careers. The Symposium promotes fruitful interactions and networking between student researchers at a similar stage in their careers. The program committee consists of experts in the field and will provide their valuable feedback to the ongoing research work of participating students. Selected students will present their work in front of an audience of both their peer and researchers and will also be invited to present their work as a poster in the poster exhibition of CCGrid. The proceedings of the doctoral symposium will be published as part of CCGrid 2019 Proceedings through the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for EI indexing. What is the Doctoral Symposium? The Doctoral Symposium is a venue to provide a supportive setting in which PhD students can present their work at any stage (just started, partially finished, or almost finished) and obtain visibility, feedback and advice from established or other student researchers. The objective is to host as many motivated students as possible in the program. What does a paper for the Doctoral Symposium contain? The paper should focus on the research problem in your dissertation. You can include your partial or even preliminary ideas, results as well as the proposed solution of your problem, or a high-level summary of your published work. Each submitted paper will receive detailed reviews with friendly feedbacks.
