(SLS-DS2007)

September 6th-8th, 2007
part of the International Workshop on

*******************************************************************************
The Doctoral Symposium on Engineering Stochastic Local Search
Algorithms (SLS-DS) will take place at the Workshop on Engineering
Stochastic Local Search Algorithms in Brussels, Belgium, on 6-8 September 2007.
The Doctoral Symposium is a constructive and friendly forum where doctoral
students can:
1. present their research and obtain constructive feedback from senior
researchers
2. establish contact with other students at a similar stage in their careers
3. experience an international research event
The goal of the symposium is to expose students to helpful criticism of
their current or future research plans and to foster discussions related to
their research and careers.
The format of the symposium is a short single slide oral presentation of
the student's research topic followed by a poster presentation.
Places at the doctoral symposium will be limited. The organisers' decision
on the acceptance of a student's work for presentation at the symposium will
be based on an extended abstract describing the student's research. All
submissions will be reviewed for relevance and for quality and clarity of
presentation.
Accepted abstracts will appear in the doctoral symposium's proceedings,
will be distributed to all participants of SLS 2007, and will appear as an
IRIDIA Technical Report online (ISSN 1781-3794)
Submission
----------------
Submissions of extended abstracts are invited from doctoral students conducting
research on all aspects of engineering stochastic local search algorithms.
Submission formatting instructions will be available from the Doctoral Symposium
web page.
By submitting an extended abstract, the author(s) agree that, if their abstract
is accepted, they will:
1. Submit a final, revised, camera-ready version by the deadline for
camera-ready extended abstracts,
2. Register at least one author for the SLS Workshop or Doctoral Symposium
3. Attend the Doctoral Symposium (at least one author) to present their
accepted abstract as a poster.
