**********************************************

SCOPE

Held in conjunction with 2012 ACM MobiSys, the Ph.D. Forum provides 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.

This meeting is best suited to students who are far enough into their  
Ph.D. to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key  
challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and  
methodologies that are applicable.

AWARDS

$1,000 Google Best Presentation Award will be awarded to the best  
presentation at the Ph.D. Forum.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submissions should consist of the following:
* An extended abstract of the student?s dissertation research (up to 2  
pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related  
work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their  
contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear  
delineation of prior work and proposed work will help the panel  
provide more useful suggestions.

* A short biographical sketch (1 page maximum) describing the  
applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include  
the date that the student expects to complete his or her dissertation.

Submissions should be sent in PDF format to submit at phdforum.org. If  
accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or  
clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Note that the submissions  
will not be formally published, but hardcopies will be made available  
to workshop participants and panelists.
