------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP
2016) draws upon many application disciplines such as transportation,
energy, environmental protection, resource management, healthcare,
security, banking, entertainment, and social media.
The Ph.D. Forum at SMARTCOMP 2016 provides an opportunity for Ph.D.
students to present their work in progress to the scientific community
and obtain individual feedback from leading researchers in the field.
The Forum will be structured as a poster presentation session by the
students, followed by collective discussions. The student presentations
will be interleaved with speeches by leading researchers, who will
provide their own perspectives on current and future research in the
field, as well as on how to best purse a Ph.D. in this context.
Current Ph.D. students in the early stages of their career are
encouraged to submit a 2-page abstract about their research to be
considered for the Ph.D. Forum. The student should be the sole author,
although contributions of the advisor and others should be acknowledged.
NSF student travel grants are available for US based students.
Instructions on how to apply for the travel grant are available on the
conference website:
http://www.smart-comp.org/nsf-student-travel-grant-applications.html
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Ph.D. Forum abstracts may be no more than 2 pages in length, including
