Doctoral Colloquium

The Doctoral Colloquium is a forum in which Ph.D. students can meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced UbiComp researchers and practitioners.

We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform ubiquitous computing, including computer science, engineering, cognitive science, sociology, and related fields. Applicants should be beyond the proposal stage and into their dissertation research. The Colloquium committee will select approximately 10 participants who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Colloquium, to be followed by a discussion.

Submissions should be no longer than 2 pages including an abstract of no more than 100 words and a description of the work in progress. In addition, a 2-3 paragraph biographical sketch should be supplied. Submissions should be formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format.

The Doctoral Colloquium will be held Sunday, October 12, the day before the main conference. Doctoral Colloquium participants will also have an opportunity to participate in the Posters session on Monday afternoon & evening, October 13. Doctoral Colloquium papers will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference; they will not be incorporated into the main UbiComp 2003 Conference Proceedings.

UbiComp 2003 requires electronic submission. Please email your proposal, as a PDF attachment, directly to the Doctoral Colloquium Chair.
