<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>ECSA 2010 Doctoral Symposium <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>In conjunction with the <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>4th European Conference on Software
Architectures - ECSA 2010<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>August 23-36, 2010, Copenhagen, Denmark<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>http://www.ecsa2010.org/<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>ECSA 2010 aims to encourage the young
researchers in the field of software architecture to participate to the main
European conference on this topic and to contribute actively by presenting
their interests, ideas, and preliminary research results in this domain.
Therefore, ECSA 2010 introduces a Doctoral Symposium, a dedicated event for the
future software architects. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Goal<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to
provide PhD students working in the area of software architecture the
opportunity to present their research and to receive immediate and expert
feedback for the successful completion of their dissertation research. Therefore,
the ECSA 2010 Doctoral Symposium will enable participants to sustain and
discuss their ideas, methods, and preliminary results with senior researchers
of the software architecture community in a constructive, friendly, and
professional context. The PhD students will receive guidance and feedback on
various aspects of their research both from experienced researches and from
their PhD colleagues. It will be an opportunity for students to meet and know
each other in order to establish new contacts for possible common research
topics and projects. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Scope<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The technical scope of the Doctoral
Symposium is that of ECSA 2010. The list of the topics can be found in the ECSA
2010 call for papers. Students should consider participating in the Doctoral
Symposium after they have settled on a dissertation topic with some initial
research results. Students should be at least a year from completion of their
dissertation to obtain maximum benefit from participation. We invite students
at different stages to submit to the Doctoral Symposium:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- Initial stage: is addressed to
students who are concretizing their research question and approach; students
will be involved in discussions that enable them to think critically about
their ideas; the abstract of this category is limited to three (3) pages;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- Mature stage: is addressed to students
who are going to publish their preliminary results related to concrete research
question and approach; students will be asked to present a talk about their
work and will get feedback; the abstract of this category is limited to five
(5) pages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Submission <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The student participant at the Doctoral
Symposium should prepare a submission package consisting of two parts, a
research abstract and a letter of recommendation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Part 1: Research Abstract<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The research abstract must be in English
and should cover the following aspects:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- The problem to be solved and its
importance in the software architecture field;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- Previous work which has addressed
similar problems explaining why they have not been previously solved;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- The proposed approach;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- The expected results;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- A plan for the evaluation of the
results. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

submitted directly by the advisors. The letter should include the name of the
candidate, the status of the dissertation research and an expected date for the
dissertation submission. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Selection Process<o:p></o:p></span></p>

two members of the program committee using the following criteria:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- Technical quality of the submission,
e.g., clarity, precision and adequacy of the problem statement, related work,
solution description, expected results and their validation plan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>- Overall quality, i.e., originality of
the submission and its relevance to ECSA 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
