Call for Participation ICAPS 2019 Doctoral Consortium and Mentoring Program July 10, 2019, Berkeley, California, USA
The Organizing Committee of the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS 2019) invites Ph.D. students to participate in this year’s Doctoral Consortium. The DC is open to all doctoral student attendees of the conference. The aim of the DC program is to provide a forum for students to discuss their research with other students and senior researchers working in similar areas, provide general advice regarding research skills and careers, and generally to accelerate the cohesion of new researchers with the ICAPS community and nurture the future of the field. Registering for the Doctoral Consortium will be part of the registration process for the conference. We also encourage current doctoral students (students whose Ph.D. is in progress, but who are at least a year from defense/completion) to apply for the Mentoring Program that will take place as part of the Doctoral Consortium. The Mentoring Program is designed to provide senior graduate students with an opportunity to in-depth advice about their receive advice and mentoring by senior members of the field regarding careers and research skills. Participants in the mentoring program will also present posters during the main ICAPS conference in a session open to all ICAPS participants. The Mentoring Program will take place as part of the ICAPS 2019 Doctoral Consortium, which will be held on July, 10, the day before tutorials and workshops. Students do not need to be accepted into the Mentoring Program to attend and participate in the Doctoral Consortium. Student Funding --------------------- ICAPS will make efforts to provide student support partly covering travel and/or registration costs through a separate scholarship application process. We will provide further details about the support as soon as possible, and encourage students to apply by the deadline to be considered for this support when it becomes available. Students are not required to apply for the Mentoring Program to be considered for this support. Participation in the DC, however, is a requirement for students who end up receiving travel assistance (as are some light service tasks during the conference).
