List of accepted participants and Camera-ready instructions
ICDCN 2010 will host a Ph.D. Forum to encourage Ph.D. students in India and abroad to present and discuss their research with peers in their fields. This PhD forum is best suited for students who already have a plan outlined for their dissertation in the broad area of Distributed Computing and Networking. This forum will provide a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely.
FORMAT
The PhD Forum will be an event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will be allowed 10 minutes to make a short presentation. Thereafter, an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel will follow.
The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group.
