Doctoral Symposium
affiliated with
the 18th International Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory
Oslo, NORWAY
August 26, 2011
!! CANCELLED !!
Description of the Event
The aim of the Doctoral Symposium @ FCT'11 is to provide a platform for PhD students and young researchers who recently completed their doctoral studies, to present new results related to the foundations of computing theory and receive feedback on their research. Excellent master students working in theoretical fields of CS are also encouraged to contribute. Moreover, the DS wants to offer students the opportunity to attend talks in the main conference and to interact with established researchers in their fields. It is warmly encouraged that FCT participants attend the DS also.
A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest is available at the FCT home.
The acceptance of the presentations is based on a two page abstract (incl. references). The accepted abstracts will be available at the workshop and published together in a technical report by the University of Oslo. It is allowed (and encouraged) to send results that have been published at other conferences or journals or that are work in progress. Acceptance is conditioned on one of the student authors holding a 15-25 min (exact time slot to be decided later) presentation in the doctoral symposium.
