Call for Submissions
SPLASH Doctoral Symposium

The SPLASH Doctoral Symposium (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://2022.splashcon.org/track/splash-2022-Doctoral-Symposium__;!!IBzWLUs!TjXwb0jx39BFPCPmvYN6a3m82k6S21yHO5JsNIkK3JcIkmZievxMsSds20ZKZyg2SOATXt8_keTfPNl70xlgcZjDDRyZTPbItMm4UYECNTI$ ) provides students with useful guidance for completing their dissertation research and beginning their research careers. The symposium will provide an interactive forum for doctoral students who have progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal but will not be defending their dissertation in the next 12 months.

We invite students to submit a structured proposal of their dissertation research. At the symposium, presentations will consist of the following:
- A two-minute overview stating the most critical issues of the research (the “elevator talk”).
- A separate (strictly-timed) presentation slot for the description of the proposer’s research. The duration of this slot should be around 30-40 minutes, with 1/3 of the time dedicated to questions from the committee and audience. The exact duration will depend on the number of accepted presentations and will be announced in due time.

Submissions should consist of at most three pages (excluding bibliography) in the double-column "sigplan" acmart style (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/__;!!IBzWLUs!TjXwb0jx39BFPCPmvYN6a3m82k6S21yHO5JsNIkK3JcIkmZievxMsSds20ZKZyg2SOATXt8_keTfPNl70xlgcZjDDRyZTPbItMm4893Fh4g$ ), detailing the dissertation research's motivation, problem, approach, and methodology.
