CALL FOR DO CTORAL SY MPOSIUM

The Doctoral Symposium of the 17th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid2017) provides a forum for
students in all areas of Cluster, Grid and Cloud research to obtain
visibility, feedback and advice on their Ph.D. dissertation topics and
on their research careers. The Symposium promotes fruitful interactions
and networking between student researchers at a similar stage in their
careers. The program committee consists of experts in the field and will
provide their valuable feedback to the ongoing research work of
participating students. Selected students will present their work in
front of an audience of both their peer and researchers and will also be
invited to present their work as a poster in the poster exhibition of
CCGrid. The proceedings of the doctoral symposium will be published as
part of CCGrid 2017 Proceedings through the IEEE Computer Society
Conference Publishing Services and will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for
EI indexing.

What is the Doctoral Symposium? The Doctoral Symposium is a venue to
provide a supportive setting in which PhD students can present their
work at any stage (just started, partially finished, or almost finished)
and obtain visibility, feedback and advice from established or other
student researchers. The objective is to host as many motivated students
as possible in the program.

What does a paper for the Doctoral Symposium contain? The paper should
focus on the research problem in your dissertation. You can include your
partial or even preliminary ideas, results as well as the proposed
solution of your problem, or a high-level summary of y our publi shed
work. Each submitted paper will receive detailed reviews with friendly
feedbacks.
