@WAS Masters and Doctoral Colloquium (MDC)

iiWAS2009 and MoMM2009 invite PhD and masters students to present, discuss, and defend their substantial and mature work, work-in-progress, or preliminary results in front of an international and renowned audience of researchers. MDC aims at offering valuable feedback to the students according to their stage of research and will, therefore, foster extensive discussions following the students' presentations.

The colloquium will be organized in parallel to iiWAS2009 and MoMM2009 conferences, which are going to take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, December 14-16, 2009. The scope of MDC submissions should be related to the topics of interest shaped by iiWAS2009 and MoMM2009.

Paper Submissions and Review Process

Paper submissions are solicited up to 5 pages length in PDF format. Each contribution should contain a problem statement, an overview Êof related work in the area, a presentation of the contribution to the research domain addressed by iiWAS2009 and MoMM2009, a description of the methodological approach, and results achieved so far. All papers will be peer reviewed by three members of the international TPC and judged according to relevance, clarity and correctness, and novelty and originality.
