[DMANET] ICDCN 2025 - Call for Doctoral Symposium

Hi everyone,

Please find below the call for doctoral symposium for ICDCN 2025, with a
submission deadline on the 1st of October.

Best regards,
Fabien Dufoulon

---------------------------------------------

ICDCN 2025 will host a Doctoral Symposium to encourage Ph.D. students to
present and discuss their research with peers in their fields. This
symposium is best suited for students who already have a plan outlined for
their dissertation in the broad areas of Distributed Computing and Computer
Networking. The symposium will provide an opportunity for students to
obtain helpful feedback on their research from academics and practitioners
from leading universities and industries.

PhD students working in any area of the main conference track can submit
their research proposal for this symposium.

Main Conference Call <https://cse.iith.ac.in/icdcn-2025/call_for_paper.html>
Eligibility

Those who are enrolled as a full-time student in a Ph.D. program at any
university as on date of submission of the proposal are eligible. Ph.D.
students with a well-formulated problem and initial technical
approach/results are particularly encouraged to apply as they would benefit
from the feedback from the symposium. Although this forum is primarily
targeted toward Ph.D. students, BS (Undergraduate) and MS
(Postgraduate) students
who have formulated a research project and obtained some good results will
also be considered and hence are encouraged to apply.
Submission Guidelines

Submissions to the Doctoral Symposium should include the following

- Research paper/proposal (1-2 pages)
- Curriculum Vitae (1 page)

A submitted paper/proposal must not exceed 2-pages, including references. A
research paper must include a clear problem statement of the research,
technical approaches for the problem, the novelty of the problem and/or the
approaches, and the results obtained so far. The student author should be
clearly indicated, and the advisor(s) should be listed as co-authors.

Curriculum Vitae must contain the participant's name, affiliation,
advisor's name, the theme of research, degrees obtained so far, current
status in their degree, and expected graduation date.

All papers must be submitted in PDF format through EasyChair at the
following link, selecting "ICDCN 2025 - Doctoral Symposium":

https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=icdcn2025
Formatting Instructions

All figures, appendices, and references must fit within the 2-page limit.
Paper reviewing is single-blind and submissions should list author names on
the front page. Your submission must be in PDF format with all fonts
embedded and be formatted according to the official ACM Proceedings format.
Submissions that do not meet the page limit, size, and formatting
requirements will not be reviewed. Word and LaTeX templates are available
here <https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>. Please note
that ACM uses 9-pt fonts in all conference proceedings, and the style (both
LaTeX and Word) implicitly define the font size to be 9- pt. Page limit for
camera ready submission is 2 pages.
Symposium Details

All submissions will be reviewed following a single-blind review mechanism,
and the primary student author of the proposals that are accepted will have
the opportunity to give an oral presentation (8-10 minutes) at ICDCN.
No-show without approval from chairs is not allowed and will lead to the
submission being withdrawn from the proceedings. The accepted submissions
will be included in the ICDCN proceedings as a 2-page extended abstract.
The authors of accepted papers will also get a chance to present their work
in a poster format in the session. Specific details of the same will be
shared on this page.

There will be the Doctoral Symposium Presentation award based on the
feedback received from the evaluation committee.
Important Dates (All the deadlines are in AoE)

- Submission deadline: 1st October 2024
- Notification deadline: (No later than) 4th November 2024
- Camera-ready deadline: 10th November 2024

*Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model*

ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International
Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that
are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a waiver
will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their
ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC
will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance
here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.
<https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance>

Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:

- Full details of the new ICPS publishing model:
https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/faq.

- Full details of the ACM Open program:

- Please direct all questions about the new model to icps-info@acm.org
<https://cse.iith.ac.in/icdcn-2025/icps-info@acm.org>

The ICDCN Doctoral Symposium provides the opportunity to authors based at
institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not
qualify for a waiver to withdraw from publishing the doctoral symposium
paper in the conference proceedings. These authors will still be allowed to
present their work at the conference.
