CfP: FM 2018 Dr. Symposium

Call for Papers – FM 2018 Doctoral Symposium

IMPORTANT DATES

  • New Submission deadline: 29 April 2018
  • Notification: 15 May 2018
  • Doctoral Symposium: 14 July 2018

GOALS AND SCOPE

A Doctoral Symposium will be held on 14 July 2018 in conjunction with the 22nd International Symposium on Formal Methods which will take place in Oxford, UK, from 15 to 17 July 2018 as part of the FLoC 2018, the Federated Logic Conferences. This symposium aims to provide a helpful environment in which selected PhD students can present and discuss their ongoing work, meet other students working on similar topics, and receive helpful advice and feedback from a panel of researchers and academics. If you are a PhD student researching any topic that falls within the area of formal methods, you are warmly invited to submit a Research Abstract for consideration to be selected as a participant.

An award in the form of a certificate will be given to the best contribution to the doctoral symposium. The abstracts will be included on the FLoC USB.

FLoC’18 wants to put participation within reach for as many people as possible and offers a choice of two programmes for this: Travel stipends (a variable amount towards travel costs for graduate students depending on the origin of travel), or the FLoC Volunteer programme. FLoC’18 volunteers will be able to interact with speakers and participants, network with other researchers and meet graduate students from all over the world. See http://www.floc2018.org/volunteer/ for more info.

RESEARCH ABSTRACTS

Research Abstracts should be no more than 4 pages in LNCS format. Your Research Abstract should:

  • Outline the problem being addressed, its relevance, the solution you are working on, your research approach (such as your research method) and your expected contribution.
  • Contain a very brief literature survey indicating the most important references related to:(a) the problem being addressed and/or(b) existing solutions as appropriate.
  • Indicate your progress to date and the current stage of research.
  • The Research Abstract should be written by yourself as sole author, but should include references to any papers you have already published, including joint publications with your supervisor.
