Introduction
The 14th EuroSys Doctoral Workshop (EuroDW 2020) will provide a forum 
for PhD students to present their work and receive constructive feedback 
from experts in the field as well as from peers. Technical presentations 
will be augmented with general advice and discussions about getting a 
PhD, doing research, and career perspectives. We invite applications 
from PhD students at any stage of their doctoral studies.

EuroDW 2020 will also offer the opportunity for what we call “mentoring 
moments”. The idea is to give graduate students a chance to talk 
one-on-one (or, in some cases, one-on-two) about their research with 
outstanding researchers beyond those available at the students' 
universities.

Goal of the Workshop
The goal of the workshop is to provide feedback and advice to PhD 
students both on technical aspects of their research as well as career 
development. We expect a range of attendees such as the presenters’ 
peers, as well as senior researchers who will attend to share their 
expertise and provide constructive feedback. The idea is to create 
opportunities for students to meet with peers outside of their home 
institution, to get technical feedback as well as career advice from 
senior researchers in their field, to find out about internship and job 
opportunities, and to articulate their own work in a public, 
non-threatening forum. We encourage the participants to stay for the 
duration of the EuroSys main conference.

We expect most submissions to be from current PhD students who have 
selected a clear research topic. Research topics of interest include 
“systems” work in the broadest sense, including work on formal 
foundations, as well as the design, implementation and evaluation of 
real systems. Specifically, research topics of interest include, but are 
not limited to:

- Artificial intelligent systems
- Big data analytics frameworks
- Cloud computing and data center systems
- Database systems
- Dependable systems
- Distributed systems
- File and storage systems
- Language support and runtime systems
- Mobile and pervasive systems
- Networked systems
- Operating systems
- Parallelism, concurrency, and multicore systems
- Real-time, embedded, and cyber-physical systems
- Secure systems, privacy and anonymity preserving systems
- Tracing, analysis, and transformation of systems
- Virtualization systems

Note: the workshop is not a venue for publication; there will be no 
published proceedings.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
If you would like to participate in the workshop, please submit your 
materials before the deadline. Submissions will receive written feedback 
from the PC, but the submission process is very lightweight and the main 
purpose is to put together the program and to match students with mentors.
Submission site: https://eurosys2020dw.hotcrp.com/

Submissions should be up to 4 pages (including title and figures but 
excluding references) and should include the following sections only:
- Abstract
- Introduction (problem statement, an overview of the proposed work, 
main differences from existing works)
- Overview of the proposed work
- Preliminary results (if applicable)
- Work to be done (description of the planned work to address the 
proposed research problem and brief timeline to PhD completion) • 
Related work

Submissions will be accessed based on the importance, clarity and 
relevance to EuroSys of the research problem, excellent understanding of 
the core related work, realistic and clear roadmap to work completion 
towards the PhD, and overall quality of the submission paper.

Please note that there will be no published proceedings. Submissions 
shall be in .pdf, 2-column, singlespaced, 10pt format.

In addition, please include the following information in your submission 
form:
- PhD advisor’s name and affiliation
- Year when you started your PhD
- Expected submission date of the PhD thesis
