ITS'2006 is pleased to announce the Young Researchers Program
and invites submissions to this program. The goal of this track
is to provide a forum in which PhD students can present and
discuss their work during its early stages, meet some of their
peers who have related interests, and introduce themselves to
more senior members of the field. The program is open to all PhD
students. Non-student advisors or collaborators should be
acknowledged appropriately, as co-authors or otherwise. However,
students are requested to honour the spirit of the program by
submitting only work for which they are primary investigators.
Deadlines
Authors
should send one electronic copy of a paper describing
their research before March 20, 2006. Notification of
acceptance/rejection of submitted papers will be sent to the
author by April 5, 2006. Camera-ready versions of accepted
papers will be due by April 15, 2006.
Submissions to ITS'2006
Students are free to submit papers for work reported in a
regular paper submitted to ITS'2006, but not for work that has
already been published. Abstracts will be accepted or rejected
for the student track regardless of the outcome of related paper
submissions.
Publication
The papers accepted for the student track will be published in a
separate proceedings (not in the proceedings of the main
conference).
Presentations
The
student track would be held on Monday, June 26. Each accepted
paper will be allocated presentation time in one of the sessions
within the track. Student authors of accepted papers will
present their work and also discuss their projects in the
student track.
