This will represent the first doctoral consortium to be held jointly between ADT and LPNMR. There will be significant time for students from both fields to present their work, meet mentors from their own and closely related fields, and hear interesting panels related to their research careers. Congratulations to the students who have been accepted to participate!
The DC will take place from 08.45 to 18:00 on Sept. 27th at the Lexington Hilton (the conference venue) and include a dinner in the evening in downtown Lexington. You are expected to take part in all the events on that day so please plan your travel accordingly. For the DC you will:
- Give a short (8 minute + 2 minutes for questions) presentation about your research. Remember that this is a broad audience so you should include enough background so that someone from another branch of CS can understand your work.
- Present a poster (at the main conference and at the DC) so you can speak with other students and researchers about your work. Please prepare a poster A0 vertical orientation for use at both sessions which summarizes your research so far and what you hope to achieve.
- Have dinner around Lexington the night of Sept. 27th in small groups with 4-5 students each and 1-2 mentors / senior researchers.
