Call for Extended Abstracts PhD Forum


SustainIT 2012 hosts the PhD Forum on Sustainable Internet and ICT for Sustainability. The Forum will provide an opportunity for PhD students to present their dissertation research, including work in progress. In addition, it will be a platform for PhD students to interact both with their peers as well as with experienced researchers from industry and academia. The Forum will be organized as a poster session and will include a '1-minute madness' introduction by each student.

Current PhD students and researchers who completed their PhD dissertations after December 2011 are encouraged to submit extended abstracts. The PhD student and his/her advisor(s) can be the only authors. Submissions will be reviewed to ensure quality and relevance. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend SustainIT 2012 and present their poster at the PhD Forum. Accepted extended abstracts will appear in conference proceedings.
