AAMAS 2019 Doctoral Consortium May 13, 2019 Montreal, Canada http://aamas2019.encs.concordia.ca/cfdc.html
IMPORTANT DATES: â Submission due: January 28, 2019 â Notification of acceptance: March 4, 2019 â Camera Ready due: March 11, 2019 â Doctoral Consortium: May 13, 2019 DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM PROGRAM: The doctoral consortium (DC) of AAMAS 2019 is intended for PhD students in order to interact closely and receive feedback from established researchers in their fields. Each accepted student to the program will be matched with an established researcher in the field who will assist the student with research and career management advice. An informal lunch will be organised between the students and their mentors allowing for in-depth discussion and exchange. Each student will be given ample time to orally present their work and therefore be able to fully benefit from direct feedback from the assigned senior researcher mentor and their peers. Furthermore, the students will also present a poster of their PhD work during the poster session of the main conference. Apart from extra feedback, this will also help provide students with new contacts and professional networking opportunities. The DC is intended for PhD students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Preference will be given to students satisfying these criteria, but well-motivated applications from students who are at earlier or later stages of their doctoral studies will also be considered. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: The submission package should include the following items in one single pdf file: 1. A cover sheet containing: the student's name, email address, homepage, university affiliation, gender, citizenship, PhD start date, expected graduation date, name and email of PhD supervisor, at least three mentor suggestions (should be chosen from the list of PCs or SPCs in past AAMAS conferences, for example, the list of PCs for AAMAS 2018 can be found here: http://celweb.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/aamas18/pc/), and at least three area of study keywords (should be chosen from the list of topics of interest in the AAMAS' call for paper: http://aamas2019.encs.concordia.ca/cfp.html). 2. A 1-page letter of support from the supervisor. 3. A 2-page CV that includes the list of publications of the student. 4. A 2-page extended abstract of the student's thesis (in AAMAS submission format) 5. A 1-page personal statement citing around five favourite papers in the field and how they influenced the studentsâ work. Applications should be submitted via confmaster (please check the AAMAS 2019 website). The selection process will consider the quality of the submitted proposal and the stage of the student's PhD project. Doctoral students who submit to the DC are encouraged to submit papers to the associated workshops. Important: All students, including DC applicants, should apply for student scholarships separately on the scholarship website. While acceptance to the DC may play a role in scholarship decisions, those decisions are made by the scholarship chairs and are subject to available funding support. For any questions please contact the doctoral consortium co-chairs. ORGANISERS: Madalina CROITORU, University of Montpellier, France William YEOH, Washington State University in St. Louis, USA
