The Doctoral Consortium will provide students with an opportunity to: - Present their research work in a relaxed and supportive environment; - Receive feedback and suggestions from peers and experienced faculty; - Gain an overview of the breadth and depth of enterprise information Systems; - Obtain insight into directions for enterprise information systems research taken by other doctoral candidates; - Discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other issues; - Network with peers and future colleagues The paper that a PhD student can submit until February 18 needs to be written in a specific format, appropriate for facilitating the aforementioned discussion, therefore it is expected to be a much simpler paper and definitely not a regular paper. There will be a review and selection process and the accepted papers will be included in the CD-ROM that also includes the proceedings of the conference. Additionally, the papers of the Doctoral Consortium presented at the venue will also be included in the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. However, they will not be included in the book of proceedings as archival publications therefore they will remain free of copyright and the registration will be a "student registration". Should you have any question or suggestions please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Vitor Pedrosa ICEIS Secretariat Av. D.

The Doctoral Consortium (DC) offers research students a special forum where they can present, discuss and progress their research plans with peers and established senior researchers. Research students wishing to attend the doctoral consortium should submit up to 4 pages, using the ACM SIGCHI two column layout , addressing the following: Introduction setting up your research area and specific research question(s)/goals(s) (including key related work); Overall research approach, methodology, and expected contributions; Work in progress (including findings to date and next steps); Questions and issues for discussion, and what you hope to gain from attending the DC; short bio. Please send proposals to the Doctoral Consortium Chairs: dc at comtech.community *Student Volunteers* C&T actively encourages students to volunteer at the conference. Being a student volunteer is a great way to support the research community, meet other students in the field, and attend an international ACM conference. You will help the conference organisers with the running of the conference and support the setting-up of presentations and workshops. You will see the latest in C&T research and development, and have fun while learning about running the conference. In return, you will get free registration. To apply, email us your contact details (email, phone, university), an abstract of your research project, a CV, and the reasons why you would like to be a student volunteer. Please send applications to the Student Volunteers Chair: volunteers at comtech.communit -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
