International PhD Workshop on Ad Hoc and Wireless Networks PhD-NOW’08
CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
The PhD-NOW seminar aims to provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere where PhD students can present their ongoing research, get constructive feedback and learn what problems are being tackled by the fellow students. More importantly, it also provides a venue for all students to “network” with each other, as well as with the established researchers, obtain valuable guidance and tips, and participate in a forum designed specifically to benefit graduate students. We particularly encourage PhD students from the EU convergence regions and Western Balkan countries to take part in the workshop. The seminar is supported by the PROSENSE, FP7 Support Action project .
Applicants should be far enough into their PhD to have a concrete proposal, and have initially outlined the most important issues and proposed research methodology. Selected abstracts will appear in the AdHOC-NOW proceedings. Comprehensive surveys of the state-of-the-art in relevant technologies are also encouraged.
Format
The PhD workshop will be a one-day, seminar-style event, consisting of short presentations followed by roundtable discussions. Time will be allotted to each student for the presentation, and for the following in-depth discussion.
