The call for PhD Symposium papers is open
PhD Symposium at ICTERI-2024
The PhD Symposium is traditionally organized under the umbrella of ICTERI. It is a scientific forum for young researchers, who are at the beginning of their careers, such as PhD students or young researchers from the industry. Our vision of the PhD Symposium at ICTERI is to provide an expert environment for presenting ideas and early results of PhD projects or other research aiming to be framed in PhD projects. Young researchers, who join us to take part in discussions and/or present their papers, are offered an opportunity to exchange and discuss their research ideas with their peers, advisors, and senior researchers working in the fields that are within the scope of ICTERI-2024.
PhD Symposium Scope

To do this, please select the option button “PhD Symposium” and click the “Continue” button. Evaluation focuses on originality, technical correctness, and the value of the planned or early results in a short to mid-term perspective.
Page limit: not less than 10 and not more than 12 LNCS pages. It is required that the first author of a paper submitted for PhD Symposium at ICTERI is either a PhD or master’s student or a young researcher from industry who is working towards obtaining a PhD. The research advisor may be involved as the last author if deemed appropriate.
Evaluation and Publication
All submissions will be evaluated by at least three international program committee members. Accepted papers will be published in the Springer-Nature Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series.
Please check the Previous ICTERI Conferences page at the ICTERI-2024 website (https://icteri.org/icteri-2024/previous-icteri-conferences/) to access the proceedings volumes published by the previous conference instances.
Presentation
Accepted papers must be presented at ICTERI PhD Symposium session by its student author, who commits to register and attend the conference. The papers, which are not presented at the Symposium, will be excluded from the proceedings.
