Next Generation Computing Applications 2024
24-26 October 2024, Mauritius

The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis/dissertation and research plans by providing feedback and general advice in a constructive atmosphere. Students will present and discuss their research in the context of a well-known and established international conference, in a supportive atmosphere with other doctoral students and an international panel of established researchers.

A panel of prominent professors and experienced practitioners in the field of research will conduct the workshop. They will review all the submissions and comment on the content of the research and on the presentation. In the course of the workshop, students will also get the opportunity for one-on-one advice on students’ current research and guidance on future research directions as well as more general questions, e.g., on the differences in Ph.D. studies in different countries.

Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium should submit an extended abstract describing their work. Submissions should be related to any aspect related to Information and Communication Technologies.

Submission Instructions

In the extended abstract, the student should

• describe the problem that will be addressed and why existing approaches do not

• adequately address the problem,

• provide 2-3 main research questions,
