*** Apologies for multiple posts *** (01)
The ESWC2012 PhD Symposium will take place as part of the 9th Extended Semantic
Web Conference (ESWC 2012) in Heraklion, Greece. This event aims at providing
PhD students with an opportunity for receiving feedback on their work from
experienced researchers of the Semantic Web community and for creating
relationships with other PhD students from other institutions. The Symposium is
focused on students doing their PhD in the Semantic Web area or related topics,
in particular, this includes the topics of ESWC2012. (02)
The Symposium is open to all PhD Students that are categorized as follows:
Early-stage, students at the beginning of their work that have defined their
problem statement and a clear research plan; Intermediate-stage, students in
the middle of their PhD course, having defined their problem statement, a
research plan, and have collected some results; Advanced-stage, students who
are in the last period of their PhD course but with sufficient time prior to
completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. (03)
Submitted papers will be reviewed by a number of experienced researchers with
the aim of providing students with a constructive critique. Authors of accepted
papers will be required to prepare a poster, and a brief oral presentation. A
dedicated jury will select the best papers that will be awarded during the last
conference session. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of ESWC
2012, published by Springer in the LNCS series. (04)
===================

Submission Information
=================== (07)
According to the categorization of PhD students we are looking for three types
of submissions. Submissions should be structured by following the templates
suggested below, which will be also used as evaluation dimensions: (08)
**Early-stage submission**
Motivation and Research questions: Describe the core research problem, and
motivate its relevance for the Semantic Web area;
State of the art: Describe relevant related work, and point out weaknesses and
open problems;
Proposed Approach: Present the planned approach and discuss its novelty,
effectiveness, and possible limitations;
Planned research methodology: Sketch the methodology that is being (or will be)
adopted, including the evaluation method; (09)
**Intermediate-stage submission**
Motivation and Research questions: Describe the core research problem, and
motivate its relevance for the Semantic Web area;
State of the art: Describe relevant related work, and point out weaknesses and
open problems;
Proposed Approach: Present the planned approach and discuss its novelty,
effectiveness, and possible limitations;
Research methodology: Sketch the methodology that is being (or will be)
adopted, including the evaluation method;
Results: Describe the current status of the work with respect to achieved
results (algorithms, methods, models, prototypes, etc.) and possible
preliminary evaluation; (010)
**Advanced-stage submission**
Research questions: describe the core problem of the PhD and motivate its
relevance for the Semantic Web area;
State of the art: describe relevant related work and point out areas that need
to be improved;
Proposed Approach: present the approach taken and motivate how this is novel
with respect to existing work;
Methodology: sketch the methodology that is (or will be) adopted and, in
particular, the approach to be taken for evaluating the results of the work;
Results: Describe the current status of the work with respect to achieved
results (algorithms, methods, models, prototypes, etc.) and evaluation; (011)
Submissions must be no longer than 5 pages and must be formatted in the style
of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS). Papers must be in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format and
must be submitted electronically through the conference submission site. Papers
will not be accepted in any other format.
