SenSys 2019 Doctoral Colloquium

             November 10, 2019

Columbia University, New York, USA
The Doctoral Colloquium of Sensys 2019 seeks to provide a friendly,
supportive, and constructive environment where PhD students can present
their research in progress for an open discussion guided by a panel of
experienced researchers. The Doctoral Colloquium will be structured as a
series of short presentations by the students followed by individual
discussions, feedback, and advice from the panel.

Current PhD students in the early stages of their career are encouraged to
submit a 2-page research summary describing the work in progress and
including a 100-word abstract. Things to consider for inclusion in the
research summary might be: the expected contribution to the field; the
original idea or thesis statement; the problem domain and the specific
problem addressed; a brief overview of related work; the methodological
approach; research carried out and results so far. The abstract should also
include a one-paragraph biography of the student, including the names and
affiliations of the research advisor(s), and the expected date of
dissertation submission. The student should be the sole author, although
contributions of the advisor and others should be acknowledged.

The Doctoral Colloquium committee will review submissions to ensure
quality, relevance, and potential benefit from attendance. Authors of
accepted submissions are expected to participate in-person to the Doctoral
Colloquium. There will be no separate registration fee for the Doctoral
Colloquium.

****Program****

The SenSys Doctoral Colloquium will be held in conjunction with the
BuildSys Doctoral Colloquium to enable students from both communities to
interact and receive constructive feedback on their work from a diverse set
of panelists.
