27th to 30th of June 2023, Uniciti, Flic-en-Flac, Mauritius
IE2023
The 19th International Conference on Intelligent Environments
As a part of the latest in the highly successful series of International Conferences on Intelligent Environments, we will be hosting a Doctoral Colloquial (DC) at the 2023 conference in Uniciti, Flic-en-Flac, Mauritius at 27-30 June 2023. The aims of this Colloquium are both social and educational – to provide research students in the early to mid-phases of their projects an opportunity to meet other people in a similar position, to make relatively informal presentations on their work, to discuss and give/receive feedback on each other’s experiences, ideas and findings, to make connections and to have fun!
Call For Contributions
Key aspects of the Doctoral Colloquium are the presentations, where research students present, discuss and defend their work.
All accepted presentations will be submitted as “short written papers” (maximum of 4 pages) and will be published in the IEEE Proceedings for the IE’23 conference.
A prize will be awarded for the best colloquium paper, which will be announced during the main conference.
All presentations should be on research projects (PhD or similar), on topics appropriate to the Intelligent Environments theme which are either
- in a relatively early stage, but where the investigating student has already identified the nature and key aspects of the problem(s), and has ideas regarding how to solve them, or
- is at a stage where interesting results are being produced, but the work is not yet quite at a stage appropriate to produce a long paper.
As a minimum, papers should describe a research problem, explain why that problem is important and interesting, detail what the existing solutions (if any) or relevant methods are, including why these are not sufficient or satisfactory, and give some indication of the new solutions or methodologies the student is pursuing. There should be enough substance to offer and stimulate discussion, but the work does not need to be complete. Participants will also be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Doctoral Colloquium track session in June 2023 at the main conference, to be followed by a discussion with peers which is intended to help the students optimize their research strategies and develop their research ideas.
The main author of all contributions to the Doctoral Colloquium MUST be a student registered for a PhD or similar research degree.
Submission Guideline
Submissions must be in PDF format, up to 4 pages in length and conform to IE2023 publisher formatting guidelines.
