M.Sc and PhD forum

IEEE ICECS 2013 will include a M.Sc./Ph.D. Forum. The M.Sc./Ph.D. Forum provides an opportunity for masters and Ph.D. students in the fields of electronics, circuits, and embedded systems to present their dissertation research, including work in progress, to an internationally renowned audience of researchers and developers. The topics of interest are the same as those of the main IEEE ICECS 2013 conference. To encourage interaction between the M.Sc/Ph.D. students and researchers from academia, industry, and government, the Forum will be mainly organized as a poster session. A twopage position papers on the thesis work will appear in the conference proceedings. Current M.Sc./Ph.D. students, as well as researchers who completed their M.Sc./Ph.D. dissertations in the last year (that is, since December 2012), are encouraged to submit two-page papers. Since this is expected to be a work conducted by the Ph.D. students, we request that the sole author is a Ph.D. student who is mainly responsible for conducting the research on the respective topic. In addition, the name of the advisor should appear, preceded by "Advisor:" The main objective of the Ph.D. Forum is to offer an opportunity to the Ph.D. students to receive high-quality feedback from external reviewers and to directly interact with peers, exchange ideas, discuss concepts, and establish (in) formal cooperation with various research groups.
