Doctoral Consortium

The ISWC 2011 Doctoral Consortium will take place as part of the 10th International Semantic Web Conference in Bonn, Germany. This forum will provide doctoral students an opportunity to share and develop their research ideas in a critical but supportive environment, get feedback from mentors who are senior members of the Semantic Web research community, explore issues related to academic and research careers, and build relationships with other Semantic Web PhD students from around the world.

The Consortium aims to broaden the perspectives and improve the research and communication skills of these students as a way to contribute both to the individuals as well as to the broader research community.

The Doctoral Consortium is intended for students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but with sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. In the consortium the students will present their proposals and get specific feedback/advice on how to improve their research plan.

All proposals submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a thorough reviewing process with a view to providing detailed and constructive feedback. The best 15 submissions will be selected for presentation at the Doctoral Consortium and will be published in the conference proceedings. The top 6 of those will be selected for full
presentation and the next 9 submissions will be accepted as short presentations.
