Is the problem considered as a problem by practitioners? Is there empirical evidence for the problem? I (Idea) What are your goals and hypotheses? How does your approach look like? What is the solution idea and what are your original contributions? How does your solution approach relate to the state of the art? B (Benefits) What are the expected benefits of your approach? A (Actions) What needs to be done to complete the thesis?

Jurgen Munch, University of Kaiserslautern & Fraunhofer IESE, Germany Rafael Prikladnicki, PUCRS, Brazil Rini van Solingen, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands David Weiss, Iowa State University, USA Goal and Scope      The Doctoral Symposium aims to create a forum for PhD students working on foundations, techniques, methods and tools in the area of global software engineering. It will provide participants with an opportunity to present and to discuss their research with senior researchers of the global software engineering community in a constructive and friendly atmosphere. Specifically, the symposium aims to: Provide a setting whereby students receive feedback on their research and guidance on future directions from the Doctoral Symposium Panel, Foster the creation of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research, and Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers at the main conference.      The Doctoral Symposium is intended for students who have not yet completed their dissertation research and do not expect to write up their dissertation before the conference. Students should consider participating in the Doctoral Symposium, after having settled on a dissertation topic and having obtained initial research results.      In addition to scientific matters, students will have the opportunity to seek advice on various aspects of completing a PhD and performing research as a young professional in software engineering.      The Doctoral Symposium has the same scope of technical topics as the main ICGSE conference. Submissions and Evaluation      To apply for participation at the symposium, you should prepare a submission package consisting of the two parts listed below. Part 1: Research proposal (2 pages in ICGSE format and submitted as PDF files.) submitted by email to Jurgen Munch ([email protected]): Your name and contact information (you and dissertation advisor) Title of your research Research area and sub-area of your work Brief description of your research proposal indicating the problem addressed and approach taken (if defined) (25 words or less) Description of the research problem and its importance in the field Brief survey of background and related work, as well as current solutions/approaches Description of the research issue/focus Detailed description of proposed methodology Results achieved so far (if any) The expected contributions of your research Description of research evaluation methods and your plan to present evidence of contribution to knowledge in the research community      Students at relatively early stages in their research will have some difficulty addressing all these areas in detail; this is understood. Part 2: Letter of Support (from your research advisor), submitted by email to Jurgen Munch.      The letter must include your name and an assessment of the current status of your thesis research and stage in the doctoral program, as well as an expected date for dissertation submission.      Submissions will be reviewed by the co-chairs and selected for inclusion in the symposium on the following criteria: Quality of the research proposal (research problem, hypothesis and methodology) Relevance to conference topics Quality of proposal presentation Diversity of background, research topic and approach Stage of research (students will be selected across a range of research stages) Presentation and publication of research proposal      Symposium participants are expected to present their proposal during the Symposium, as well as prepare and present a poster about their proposal during the Poster Session at the Conference. The 2-page proposal will be included in the Conference Proceedings. Registration at the conference is required for proposal to be printed in the Proceedings.
