Dear Andrea,
It does not give a good impression if your first and only message to an
email list is a cross-posted advertisement that does not make any effort
to clarify the relationship to the topic of the list. We don't usually
have such calls here (as opposed to other lists, where you have many
messages of this type every day). If you have a relevant message for the
Wikidata community, please take your time to write a personalised email
that clarifies why people should be interested.
Thanks,
Markus

CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM PAPERS
20th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge
Management (EKAW 2016)
Doctoral Consortium days: 19-20 November 2016, Bologna, Italy
Abstract submission: September 8, 2016
Paper submission: July 15, 2016
Web site:
http://ekaw2016.cs.unibo.it/?q=call-for-doctoral-consortium
========================================================
The EKAW 2016 Doctoral Consortium is an opportunity for PhD students to
discuss and obtain feedback on their ongoing work, plans and research
directions with/from experienced researchers in the field. The objective
is to share best practices of research methods and approaches, as well
as to exchange on what it means to engage in an academic and research
career on the topics relevant to the EKAW conference.
The Doctoral Consortium is intended for students at every stage of their
PhD. For starting PhD students (or finishing Master students),
submissions should be in the form of a well-defined problem statement,
as well as a clear plan for a research methodology to address this
problem and some ideas towards an approach. Students in their second or
third year of their PhD should also include a description of already
obtained results, as well as a clearly defined evaluation protocol. All
students will have an opportunity to present their work to an
international audience. Experienced members of the EKAW community will
act as mentors, each paired with one student and providing direct,
focused feedback to them.
All proposals submitted to the EKAW 2016 Doctoral Consortium will
undergo a reviewing process with a view of providing detailed and
constructive feedback. In addition to being reviewed by at least two
experienced researchers, each paper will also be reviewed by one other
student having submitted to the Doctoral Consortium. The objective here
is to make students experience the reviewing process and to provide for
each paper different views regarding the research they describe.
== SUBMISSION INFORMATION ==
We ask the PhD students to submit a 5-8 pages description of their work.
All proposals have to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair
conference submission System
(
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ekaw2016).
Submissions should be structured around the following items which are
the key methodological components required for a sound research narrative:
Problem: describe the core problem/research question/hypothesis of the
PhD and motivate its relevance for the knowledge management, knowledge
acquisition and knowledge representation areas;
State of the art: describe relevant related work and point out areas
that need to be improved or investigated;
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,
including (for late stage PhDs) the evaluation protocol, i.e. the way in
which results and/or the research hypothesis will be validated.
Results: describe the current status of the work and any results that
have been reached so far;
Conclusions and future work: conclude and specify the major items of
future work.
== ADDITIONAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ==
All submissions must be single-author submissions. Please acknowledge
your PhD advisor(s) and other contributors in the Acknowledgements section.
Students accepted to present at the Doctoral Consortium must plan to
attend the Doctoral Consortium for the whole day in order to gain as
much value as possible from the experience. Each submitter should also
be aware that they will be asked to review one other paper submitted to
the Doctoral Consortium.
Submissions must be either in PDF or in HTML, formatted in the style of
the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS).
For details on the LNCS style, see Springer's Author Instructions
(
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). For
details on the HTML format, see the HTML submission guide
(
http://ekaw2016.cs.unibo.it/?q=html-submission-guide).
Accepted papers will appear in supplementary post-conference proceedings
to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
== TOPICS ==
The Doctoral Consortium focuses on the same topics of the main
conference (
