=========================

The Doctoral Colloquium at the ICPS 2010 conference invites PhD students
to present their research and engage in discussion with top experts in
the area of pervasive computing. The Colloquium offers students the
opportunity to receive feedback and perspectives on their research from
recognised experts in the field and other senior doctoral students, and
to hear about and offer feedback on cutting-edge research carried out by
other doctoral candidates.

Participants will present their research and the presentation will be
followed by discussion with the panel of academics and other colloquium
students. Applicants should be late-stage Ph.D. students with a
well-established direction of research in pervasive computing, who are
sufficiently far from completion that their research can benefit from
the advice and feedback of the Colloquium.

The scope of the Doctoral Colloquium is similar to the scope of ICPS
2010 and the Doctoral Colloquium will be held as part of ICPS'2010.

Submissions will be reviewed by international experts and based on these
reviews, candidates for the doctoral colloquium will be selected.
Accepted DC submissions will be published in the workshop proceedings of
ICPS 2010, i.e. will be published by ACM Press and will be available in
the ACM Digital Library.
