Doctoral Symposium
March 2, 2008, Department of Computer Science and Automation, CSA Seminar Hall, First Floor, CSA-254, IISc, Bangalore. 2:30 PM - 5:30 PM
(List of Selected Students)
The main objective of this sympoisum is to offer an opportunity
for doctoral students working in areas of OR and Data Analytics
to meet and share their research experiences and to present their work
to a larger community for external review and feedback.
We request you to encourage one or two of your doctoral
students who have completed at least two years of
doctoral studies to send in a two page proposal based
on which they would be selected to present their work
at the doctoral symposium. The proposal should highlight
the contributions of the work and bring out the novelty of
the work in the context of the current art in the topic
of investigation. A brief 20 line bio-data should also be
sent by the candidates.
The doctoral students nominated by you should email their
proposal and bio to pvinayak@in.ibm.com, as early as possible,
in any case before February 10, 2008. We are planning to
provide attractive prizes to the best presentations at the
symposium.
Who Can Participate?
A doctoral student who has completed at least one year of doctoral
studies and has obtained significant/preliminary results.
The work should be in the areas of OR, Data Analytics, Optimization,
Service Delivery, Supply Chain and Logistics Analytics, etc.
How to Participate?
To participate, please submit a two page abstract:
- The abstract should be focused on the following points:
problem description:
- What is the problem being addressed?
- What is the significance of this problem ?
- why can the current state of the art not solve this problem?
- what is the goal of your research?
- what artifacts (tools, theories, methods) will be produced, and how do they address the stated problem? how are the artifacts going to help reach the stated goal?
- what experiments, prototypes, or studies need to be produced/executed?
- what is the validation strategy? how will it be demonstrated that the goal was reached?
- A letter from your supervisor. This letter should include a candidate assessment of the current status of your dissertation research and an expected date for dissertation submission.
Selection Process and Presentation
Each submission will be reviewed by the members of the committee and the
candidates will be selected on merit basis. The selected student will give
