PhD student sessions and
prizes:
The program committee also encourages and
welcomes submissions from PhD students who will present in our parallel PhD
student sessions where senior faculties will be invited to attend and comment
on each presentation to provide instant feedback. PhD students also enjoy a reduced
fees for registration. In this year, we will also have Best Paper Awards for
selected papers presented by PhD students and prizes will be given in the
conference dinner on 10th September. Any PhD students wishing to contribute to
these sessions are advised to indicate this by stating 'For PhD sessions
presentation' in 'Submitter's Comments' in the paper submission form on the
Conference Maker.
