IIiX 2014: 5th Information Interaction in Context conference
http://iiix2014.ur.de/, Regensburg, Germany, August 26-29, 2014
 
Call for Proposals for Doctoral Consortium
 
The Information Interaction in Context conference (IIiX) explores the
relationships between and within the contexts that affect information
retrieval and information seeking, how these contexts impact information
behavior, and how knowledge of information contexts and behaviors
improves the design of interactive information systems.
 
The IIiX Doctoral Consortium, held in conjunction with the main
conference, provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present and
discuss their research with senior researchers and other doctoral
students in a seminar format. The Doctoral Consortium focuses on 1)
advising students regarding current critical issues in their research,
and 2) making students aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their
research as viewed from different perspectives. The Doctoral Consortium
is aimed for students in the middle of their thesis projects; at
minimum, students ought to have formulated their research problem,
theoretical framework and suggested methods, and at maximum, students
ought to have just initiated data analysis.
 
The Doctoral Consortium will take place on 26th August 2014.
