# CALL FOR PAPERS
The joint UbiComp / ISWC doctoral colloquium is a unique opportunity for
PhD students to present their key concepts and ideas to a premier
scientific audience and to receive high-quality feedback from excellent
external reviewers, a global scientific audience, and some of the best
of their peers. The doctoral colloquium offers PhD students the valuable
opportunity to engage in in-depth discussion on their work and gain
exposure to a variety of perspectives that can help to strengthen and
shape their work as they progress towards their degrees. Lively
discussions, insights and novel ideas, and new opportunities for
cooperation between research groups are also likely outcomes from
participation.
PhD students/candidates are invited to present, discuss and defend their
work-in-progress or preliminary results in the ubiquitous computing or
wearable computing fields at the doctoral colloquium. PhD students and
candidates at all stages in the process are invited to submit a thesis
position paper, but preference is given to students who are still 1-2
years away from completing their PhDs. Preference will be given to
applicants who are at a stage where a substantial portion of the
research has been completed but are still far enough away from
completion that feedback received can still influence the remaining
research. Participants will be expected to give short, informal
presentations of their work during the colloquium, to be followed by a
discussion.
# SUBMISSION
Student submissions must be 4-6 pages long and are required to follow
the same template as Ubicomp full papers:
Microsoft Word/LaTeX (ACM Large -
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template)
The submission should clearly describe the following aspects:
* Problem domain and the specific problem(s) addressed
* Overview of related work in the area of the PhD work
* Methodological approach chosen
* Original key idea and corresponding hypothesis of the thesis
* Research carried out so far and planned ahead
* Evaluation methods and steps {carried out | planned}
* Contribution {made | expected} in the field of ubiquitous computing
Please observe the following additional guidelines:
* Omit the abstract mentioned in the template, but provide CCS keywords
(see the template for explanation); you may provide additional keywords
if you wish to do so
* We suggest to use the seven aspects listed above as chapter headings;
if you think you have to divert from this skeleton, make sure that the
seven aspects come out clearly in your submission
* Please also submit an additional page with a short biographical
sketch, including the names and affiliations of your research
advisor(s), the date when you began your PhD, and the expected date of
completion.
* Use graphics and add references wisely
Submissions can be made at https://new.precisionconference.com/sigchi
(On the submissions tab, select SIGCHI society and UbiComp 2018
conference. Then the submission track of UbiComp 2018 Doctoral
Colloquium will appear.)
Accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp 2018 adjunct
proceedings, available through the ACM Digital Library.
