Doctoral Consortium
This year, the 5th International Semantic Web Conference 2006
will take place in Athens, GA, USA. In addition to its plenary
scientific sessions, the conference will include a doctoral consortium.
Next to the great opportunity for the scientific exchange and
presentation of high quality research in all aspects of Semantic
Web, this forum will allow doctoral students to present their
work and obtain guidance from mentors as well as to get in contact
with other (post)graduate students.
The goal of the doctoral consortium is to create opportunity
for doctoral students in early stage of their research to test
their research ideas, present their current progress and future
plan, and most of all to receive constructive criticism and insights
related to their future work and career perspectives. Mentors
(peer researchers and experts in the field) will be assigned
to each student to provide individual feedback and advice on
the paper, the focus of the work and further developments.
All papers submitted to the Doctoral Consortium stream will
undergo a thorough reviewing process with a view to providing
detailed and constructive feedback. The best submissions will
be selected for presentation at the ISWC'06 Doctoral Consortium
sessions. Full papers (5 pages) will be published in supplimentary
proceedings and extended abstracts (2 papers) of papers will
be included in the ISWC'06 proceedings.
Hoppers@KWeb
which is part of the
Knowledge Web Network of Excellence provides special grants to
support participation of PhD students to this event. Please take a look
at the Hoppers@Kweb web site for more details.
