SPLASH 2011 (series) /
Doctoral SymposiumSPLASH 2011
The SPLASH 2011 Doctoral Symposium 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 in one of two phases:
- Apprentices, who are just beginning their research, are not ready to actually make a research proposal, but are interested in learning about structuring research and getting some research ideas; and,
- Proposers, 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.
Symposium Details
At the workshop, 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 20-minute description of their research. The description must be structured as follows:
-
Description of purpose – What exact problem, issue, or question does this research address and why does it matter? What limitations or failings of current understanding, knowledge, methods, or technologies does this research resolve?
- Goals – What new understanding, knowledge, methods, or technologies will this research generate?
- Technical approach – What experiments, prototypes, or studies are being performed done to achieve the stated goal? How will they be measured, evaluated and validated? Each symposium Proposer will have a three-page short paper published in the SPLASH Companion. Proposers are strongly advised to have a poster at the SPLASH Poster session and to participate in the ACM Student Research Competition. These vehicles provide the student with an opportunity for additional feedback and suggestions on their dissertation work, contacts for further interaction, and experience in communicating with other professionals.
Submission
Electronic submission of proposals is required through the SPLASH submission system. To apply as an Apprentice, your advisor must send a letter of recommendation to the track chair by June 24, 2011. Up to four Apprentices will be chosen. To apply as a Proposer, please submit a three page (hard limit) description of your dissertation research, mirroring the topics of the presentation defined below. Your advisor must also send a brief statement of your dissertation progress to date and a statement of recommendation to the track chair by June 24, 2011. Up to eight Proposers will be selected. Proposers are expected to attend the symposium dinner and to participate in the workshop for the entire day.For More Information
