Apologies for duplication, and most of you have probably seen
this, but just in case you might have doctoral students who need
a nudge:

=== ECDL 2006 Doctoral Consortium - Deadline 22 April ===

 

ECDL 2006, The European Conference on Research and Advanced
Technology for Digital Libraries, will feature a Doctoral
Consortium to give doctoral students the opportunity to discuss
their work with experienced researchers from the Digital Library
Community as also with other students.

 

Attendance at the Doctoral Consortium will be based on an
acceptance of a written abstract, of up to 6 pages, singly
authored by the student.

 

Submissions must be done in PDF format, following the layout
guidelines for the LNCS format provided by Springer (please see
http://www.ecdl2006.org/), followed by a free supporting
statement from the adviser.

 

Deadline for submission is 22 April, to be sent by email to
doctoral_consortium at ecdl2006.org.

 

Accepted students will have to deliver a full paper, which will
be published electronically in a special issue of the bulletin of
the IEEE TCDL - Technical Committee for Digital Libraries. The
students will be able to present also a poster at the ECDL 2006
poster session.

The full papers will be reviewed by senior scientists who will be
also present in the Doctoral Consortium meeting, where the
students will receive feedback about their work and will have a
chance to participate in an open discussion.

 

The paper will be the basis for detailed discussions at the
Consortium. To get the most out of the discussion it should
include:

    * motivation for the proposed research

    * background and related work (with key references)

    * description of proposed research including main research
questions, research methodology and proposed experiments (where
appropriate)

    * particular issues which you want to highlight for
discussion.

 

All submissions will be reviewed by the Doctoral Consortium
Program Committee, with respect to overall quality of
presentation, the potential for future impact of the proposed PhD
research on the field of Digital Libraries, and the likely
benefit to the student of attending the Consortium.
