All the dates are AoE
The deadline for submitting your Doctoral Consortium contribution has been extended to May 3rd, AoE.
The SIGCHI Development Fund supports the registration waive for 15 PhD students whose contribution is accepted for the Doctoral Consortium.
Students who are selected to attend (and provided a fee waiver) must be SIGCHI members prior to the event itself.
The EICS’2024 Doctoral Consortium (DC) is intended to bring together PhD students working on foundations, techniques, tools and studies in the Human-Computer Interaction Engineering field. DC provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present their research goals as well as intermediate results, and to discuss them with leading experts in the field as well as with peers. Students can be in intermediate or advanced stages of their research, but should not have completed their work yet, and should thus still be able to take into account feedback from the DC. The goals of the Doctoral Consortium are to provide PhD students with the opportunity to:
A submission consists of a short paper (from 5 to 6 pages excluding references) following the Springer’s LNCS format (see the format in the Submission Information section), a free-form CV of the PhD candidate and a draft poster.
The submission should not be anonymous and must:
Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the Doctoral Consortium Program Committee. The main evaluation criteria are: relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness, accuracy, and clarity.
Accepted submissions will have the opportunity to present their work in the DC. In addition to the DC chairs, additional leading experts will be invited to the DC to discuss the participants' research. The camera-ready version should be sent after the conference (we will inform the deadline), so that participants have the chance to polish their paper based on the feedback they got from the conference. Revised DC accepted papers will be published in a proceedings that is under negotiation. This will not be automatic and will be arranged in agreement with the authors, for example student and supervisor.
Authors are kindly requested to include references reporting the correct publication to facilitate the citation indexing, in particular for conferences publishing papers on journals such as PACM. For instance, a (fictional) full paper presented at EICS 2023 should be referenced as follows.
