Wrap-up |
The 2011 Middleware Doctoral Symposium will be the eighth in a series of
successful events. The symposium will provide a forum in which doctoral
students can practice and demonstrate their writing and presentation
skills, and to receive guidance from experienced mentors, both on the
academic content of their work, and on their presentation and planning
of it. An inclusive and positive atmosphere has characterized past events, with
helpful criticism provided that can be acted upon before students reach
their final thesis assessment. Depending on the stage of their work,
advice will be provided regarding potential future research
trajectories.
There will be good opportunity for meeting and sharing experiences with
other students at a similar stage in their doctoral work. There will
also be more general discussion on research and career planning. The
mentors will include both those experienced in academia and in industry.
Participation in the symposium will be based on paper submissions of up
to 6 pages in ACM format. Doctoral research contributions will need to
be aligned with the themes of the Middleware conference, however for
those nearer the start of their research careers, early stage ideas are
welcomed too. All of the submissions will be reviewed by an
international program committee, so that the highest quality and/or most
innovative papers will be presented at the symposium.
The accepted papers will be published by the ACM along with the papers
from the Middleware 2011 workshops, and will also appear online in the
ACM Digital Library.
