CfP: Doctoral Symposium at MODELS'09

                         Call for Papers

Doctoral Symposium at the ACM/IEEE 12th International Conference
 on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS'09)

       http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~dingel/drsympmodels09

    Denver, Colorado, USA, October 6, 2009 (date tentative)
         Co-located with MODELS'09, SLE'09, and GPCE'09

GOAL
The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a forum in which PhD
students can present their work in progress and to foster the role of
MODELS as a premier venue for research in model-driven engineering.
The symposium aims to support students by providing independent and
constructive feedback about their already completed and, more
importantly, planned research work.

SCOPE
The technical scope of the symposium coincides with that of MODELS'09.
Please see the MODELS'09 website at http://www.modelsconference.org for
details.

SUBMISSIONS:
Submissions should describe research-in-progress that is meant to
lead to a PhD dissertation. The submission should describe:
  - Problem: The technical problem the research intends to solve and
      why it is important and needs to be solved.
  - Related work: A review of the relevant related work with an explanation
      of how the proposed approach is different and which advantages it has.
  - Proposed solution: A description of the proposed solution and which
    other work (e.g., in the form of methods, or tools) it depends on.
  - Expected contributions: A list of the expected contributions.
  - Current status: The current status of the work and how close to
    completion it is.
  - Plan for evaluation: A description of how it will be shown that the
    work does indeed solve the targeted problem.

Submissions should be from PhD students who have settled on a PhD
topic, but are still sufficiently far away from completion to be able
to take full advantage of the given feedback (typically, this means
that, at the time of the symposium, students should be at least one
year away from completion).  Submissions should be in English, be no
longer than six pages in Springer LNCS format (templates available at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-2-72376-0) and
contain the full contact information of the author (name, email
address, and postal address).  Submissions should be made using
EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=drsympmodels09.

REVIEW AND EVALUATION
Submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee
using the following criteria:
  - Overall quality of the submission itself
      (e.g., clarity, precision (relative to the stage of
      the research), and adequacy of the problem statement,
      the solution description, the expected contributions, the
      plan for evaluation, and the review of related work)
  - Potential quality of the (completed and proposed) research
      (e.g., originality of solution and its impact) and its
      relevance to the MODELS community

IMPORTANT DATES
  Deadline for submission: June 17, 2009
  Notification: end of July, 2009
