2000
The ASE'2000 Doctoral Symposium is intended to bring together PhD students working on foundations, techniques, tools and applications of automated software engineering technology, and give them the opportunity to present and to discuss their research in a constructive and international atmosphere. The goals of the symposium are:
The Doctoral Symposium will be held one day before the main conference, on September 11th. Selected students will present their work and receive constructive feedback from a panel of advisors and other Doctoral Symposium students. Besides scientific matters, the students will also have the opportunity to seek advice on various aspects of completing a PhD and performing research as a young professional in automated software engineering.
Moreover, during the ASE conference itself, a session will be organized where the students presenting at the symposium will also be able to present their work to all the conference attendees.
The ASE'2000 Doctoral Symposium has the same scope as the main conference. Topics include but are not restricted to:
To apply for participation at the symposium, you should submit an extended abstract of your doctoral work to the symposium organizers (see below). Only electronic submissions will be accepted. All submissions must be in either PDF or PostScript form. Extended abstracts should be less than 3000 words, and should:
In addition, you should provide a (short) letter (possibly e-mail) of recommendation from your dissertation advisor. The letter must include an assessment of the current status of your thesis research, and an expected date for dissertation submission. The Doctoral Symposium is intended for students who have not yet completed their dissertation research, and do not expect to write up their dissertation before the conference. If you are already writing your dissertation, or expect to be substantially done by the time of the Symposium, we encourage you to submit your work as a full paper to a future ASE conference. Note that advisors of student presenters will not be allowed to attend their student's presentations.
Submissions will be reviewed by the Doctoral Symposium advisors panel, and selected for inclusion in the symposium on the basis of originality, technical merit, presentation quality, and relevance to the conference topics.
Proceedings will be provided, that will include all accepted papers at the Doctoral Symposium. The proceedings will also be available on-line on the ASE web site.
Travel scholarships will be available for some or all students presenting at the Doctoral Symposium, contingent on the availability of funding. Quality of the submitted work will be a factor in allocating any scholarships. All presenting students will receive free registration, and will be expected to work at the registration tables during the conference in return. Current sponsors are:
