==================================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS: ACII 2009 Doctoral Consortium
http://www.acii2009.nl/content/call+for+doctoral+consortium+papers
==================================================================
The ACII 2009 Doctoral Consortium (DC) serves as forum for PhD students
to share ideas about the theories behind affective computing; its
development; and its application. The goal of this Special Session of
the Conference is to compare approaches, discuss future research
problems and receive feedback from the international community.
The aims of the Doctoral Consortium:
- to provide PhD students with a friendly and lively atmosphere for
presenting their research ideas, exchanging experiences with peers, and
receiving constructive feedback on their work from the international
research community;
- to help students and doctoral candidates to formulate research
questions and organise their research;
- to help to forge new relationships and collaborations within the
International ACII community, promoting collaborative research;
- to support a new generation of researchers with information and advice
on academic, research, industrial, and non-traditional career paths.
Proceedings of the Doctoral Consortium will be published in a
self-contained volume (separate from the Conference Proceedings), with
an ISBN.
Submissions
Submission should describe PhD research that is at a stage where
feedback from the international community might be of value. Thus, it is
expected that students who will submit papers should be closing to make
a PhD research proposal, or have made it already but have at least a
year of work remaining to complete their PhD thesis. Submissions must
not exceed eight pages (including references). They should be well
organised and structured in a way that demonstrates the links between
the concepts presented, and they should clearly specify:
- the problem(s) that the proposed research is addressing and how this
fits into the bigger picture
- the aims and objectives of the research
- the methodology to achieve the objectives and the proposed
solution(s), including a brief description of work done so far and a
tentative plan for future work
- the main contribution(s) of the research to the development of
Affective Computing
Paper topics should be related to the conference topics, which are given
in the general call for papers (see www.acii2009.nl).
Papers should be a maximum of 8 pages, including references. Submissions
should be made in electronic format as PDF files. Detailed formatting
instructions are given on the Doctoral Consortium web-page.
The deadline submission is June 5, 2009. Please send your paper as an
attachment to an email message to all three ACII'09 Doctoral Consortium
