> The Doctoral Symposium is a *forum for doctoral students* to present
> their research topic and receive detailed feedback in a constructive and
> friendly atmosphere. PhD students at any stage of the research are welcome,
> although they are expected to already have an identified research topic.
> Participants will obtain useful guidance that will help them complete their
> research, prepare their thesis, and begin a research career.
> The main objectives of the Doctoral Symposium are:
> * to allow PhD students to practice effective writing and communication of
> their research;
> * to receive constructive feedback from the Program Committee, Academic
> Panel, and other participants;
> * to offer opportunities to form research collaborations and interact with
> other researchers at the main conferences.
>
> In 2018 the Doctoral Symposium will be a joint event between the ECOOP and
> ISSTA conferences, so we welcome participation of students who pursue their
> research in the areas of both *object-oriented programming and software
> testing and analysis*. The event will take place on *Wednesday, July
> 18th, 2018*: between the ISSTA and ECOOP conferences (
> https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecoop-issta-2018).
>
> The Doctoral Symposium takes the form of a full-day event of interactive
> presentations. The day will start with a series of lightning talks where
> each PhD student will give an “elevator pitch” of their research. This will
> be followed by formal presentations from each PhD student, with time
> allocated for both the presentation as well as questions and discussions.
> The program will also include at least one keynote talk on a topic related
> to PhD studies, research, and life beyond the PhD.
>
> -----
> SUBMISSIONS
> -----
>
> We have two distinct submission categories: junior and senior submissions.
> Junior students may not yet have fully developed a thesis topic, so they
> will present their research ideas and any progress to date. Senior students
> are expected to give an outline of their thesis research and will receive
> feedback to help them successfully complete their thesis and defense/viva.
>
> Submissions are due on **April 15th, 2018, AOE**.
> Submissions website: https://ecoopissta18ds.hotcrp.com/
>
> As participants of the Doctoral Symposium are not expected to submit
> technical papers, but rather thesis proposals, participants can submit to
> both the main conferences/workshops _and_ the Doctoral Symposium.
> Nevertheless, self-plagiarism is not allowed, and related papers (including
> papers accepted to the main conferences) are to be properly cited.
>
> --- Junior PhD Students ---
>
> Submit a 4–8 page research proposal in the Dagstuhl LIPIcs format with:
> * a problem description;
> * a detailed sketch of a proposed approach;
> * related work.
> It is not necessary to present concrete results. Instead, try to inform
> the reader that you have a (well-motivated) problem and present a possible
> solution. Attempt to provide a clear road map detailing future research
> efforts.
>
> --- Senior PhD Students ---
>
> The experience for senior students is meant to mimic a “mini-defense”
> interview. Aside from the actual feedback, this helps the student will gain
> familiarity with the style and mechanics of such an interview (advisors of
> student presenters will not be allowed in).
> The students should be able to present:
> * the importance of the problem;
> * a clear research proposal;
> * some preliminary work;
> * an evaluation plan.
>
> Please submit a 6–10 page abstract in the Dagstuhl LIPIcs format with the
> following:
> 1. Problem Description
>    * What is the problem?
>    * What is the significance of this problem?
>    * Why can the current state of the art not solve this problem?
> 2. Goal Statement
>    * What is the goal of your research?
>    * What artifacts (tools, theories, methods) will be produced,
>    * How do they address the stated problem?
> 3. Method
>    * What experiments, prototypes, or studies need to be produced/executed?
>    * What is the validation strategy? How will it show the goal was
> reached?
> This isn’t a technical paper, don’t focus on technical details, but rather
> on the research method.
>
> --- Participation ---
>
> Accepted students will give two presentations:
> 1. A two-minute presentation stating key issues of the research (the
> “elevator pitch”).
> 2. A 7–15 minute presentation followed by 7–15” of questions, feedback and
> discussions. Concrete time slots will be determined later with regards to
> the number of submissions and accepted papers.
>
> Prior to the symposium, each student will be assigned submissions of two
> other students. For each submission the student will prepare a short
> summary, some feedback, and 2-3 questions on the submission. All
> participants will also be expected to take active part in all discussions.
