Call for submissions The 2nd EuroSys Doctoral Workshop organized by the European Chapter of ACM SIGOPS Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 Glasgow, Scotland http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/EuroSysDoctoral/ This full-day doctoral workshop, held on the day before the main EuroSys 2008 programme, will provide a forum for students to present their PhD work and receive constructive feedback and general advice from experts in the field as well as peers. Invited speakers and panel discussions will address common challenges and general advice for PhD students. To ensure a productive, discussion-oriented environment, attendance will be limited to about 30 participants. We anticipate most participants to be current PhD students who have selected a clear research topic, but who are still early in their research process. Research topics of interest include "systems" work in the broadest sense, including work on formal foundations, as well as the design, implementation and evaluation of real systems. Each potential participant should submit a short, 2-page PhD proposal and a letter of recommendation from his or her advisor. The PhD proposal should motivate the main research challenge being addressed; state the new approach being taken to solve the challenge, and a research plan for testing the thesis. Proposals should be submitted as PDFs, in 2-column, single-spaced, 10pt format, and should be no longer than 2 pages (including title, references, figures and all other content). Submission instructions will be posted at the workshop web site. All proposals will be reviewed and receive comments. In addition, a selection of proposals will be chosen for presentation and will receive feedback from a panel of experts during the workshop. The workshop is generously sponsored by EuroSys. Registration will be free of charge.
