*Doctoral Symposium*

Pre-doctoral: The first part is dedicated to PhD students in the midst
of their doctoral studies in the field of software maintenance, who
intend to finish their PhD within the next two years (2014-2015). This
symposium aims to provide PhD students with an opportunity to present
their ongoing work, to interact with other researchers in the field,
and to get constructive feedback from senior researchers. Participants
will discuss their goals, methods, and results at an early stage in
their research.
For the pre-doctoral symposium the submission should not exceed 4
pages.

Post-doctoral: The second part is dedicated to researchers who have
delivered their PhD dissertations in the area of software maintenance
and evolution within the last 2 years (2011-2013). This symposium aims
to provide a forum for post-docs to present the highlights of their
work to the ICSM community. Moreover, participants will be asked to
reflect on the PhD process itself, and share some lessons learned with
PhD students as well as PhD advisors.
For the post-doctoral symposium the submission should not exceed 6 pages.

Presentation and publication

The author of each accepted submission must register and attend ICSM 2013.
The post-doctoral symposium will be a part of the main technical program
of ICSM, and each paper will be formally presented to the broad ICSM
audience.
Post-doctoral papers appear in the ICSM conference proceedings.
Details on the presentations will be communicated upon acceptance.

To encourage a full and open exchange of ideas, the pre-doctoral symposium
will be a closed-door event where only the authors and the panel members
will participate. The authors will also be able to present a poster on
their work during the poster session. Details on the presentations will be
communicated upon acceptance.
