Call for Doctoral Symposium
*NEWS:* FoCAS is pleased to sponsor two travel bursaries for the SASO
Doctoral Symposium Program held September 2015 in Cambridge, MA.
http://focas.eu/saso-doctoral-mentoring-program/
The aim of FAS* Doctoral Symposium is to provide an international forum
for PhD Students working in any
of the areas addressed by FAS*. PhD students have the opportunity to
discuss their research in an international forum,
and with a panel of well-known experts in the field.
PhD students working in any area addressed by the FAS* conferences can
submit a paper describing the core problem of
their PhD research and its relevance by providing a clear statement of
the problem they intend to address,
the motivation of the interest and novelty of the underlying research
challenges, the explanation of the main ideas by examples,
and a description of the proposed research plan and expected results.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Self-* systems theory;
Self-* systems engineering;
Self-* system properties;
Self-* cyber-physical and socio-technical systems;
Applications and experiences of self-* systems;
Autonomic Cloud Computing;
Autonomics for Extreme Scales;
Autonomic Computing Foundations and Design Methods;
Autonomic Computing Systems, Tools and Applications;
P2P techniques and algorithms;
Experience with widely-deployed and commercial systems and
applications;
Measurement and modeling of P2P systems, cloud systems, and large-scale
distributed systems;
P2P applications and systems running in the Internet, in clouds,
and in mobile systems;
Semantic overlay networks and semantic query routing;
Information retrieval and query support;
Security, privacy, anonymity, and anti-censorship;
P2P economics, participation incentives, trust, reputation,
incentives, fairness, policy enforcement;
Overlay architectures and technologies;
Performance, availability, robustness, and scalability;
New applications of P2P technologies;
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
All submissions should be 6 pages and formatted according to the IEEE
Computer Society Press
proceedings style guide and submitted electronically in PDF format.
Please register as authors
and submit your papers using the FAS* 2015 PhD Symposium management

Submissions must be single-author, on the topic of the doctoral work.
The name of the supervisor must be clearly
marked (« supervised by … ») on the paper, under the author’s name.
Submissions should be written using the following structure:
· Problem: describe the problem that must be solved by the PhD student
and motivate its relevance.
· Motivating Scenario and Research Challenges: present a simple
scenario in a specific application domain to
motivate the research and highlight its challenges.
· State of the art: position the work with respects to relevant
related work.
· Methodology: present the methodology that will be adopted.
· Current Status: describe the current status of the work and the
preliminary results that have been already reached.
· Research Plan: conclude specifying the plan for the overall PhD.
IMPORTANT DATES
· Abstract Submission Deadline: June 1, 2015
· Paper Submission Deadline: June 15, 2015
· Notifications of Acceptance: July 3, 2015
· Camera ready copy due: July 17, 2015

REVIEW PROCESS, FORMAT OF THE SYMPOSIUM, AWARD
Each submission will be reviewed by at least two experts of the PhD
Symposium organization and will be evaluated in
terms of their relevance to the FAS* topics, motivation and research
challenges, soundness of the methodology proposed
and feasibility of the research plan.
Each accepted paper will have two different opportunities to be presented.
Besides the full presentation during the PhD Symposium
session, during the main conference, a “PhD Elevator Pitch Session” will be
organized where each PhD student will showcase his/her
research shortly.
The Best Doctoral Symposium paper will be selected and the award will be
presented during the main conference.
