Participation and Financial Support Rules
- Applicants will be selected to participate in the Doctoral Programme based on the quality of their
submissions;
- Participants who have never attended CP Doctoral Programmes will be given higher priority for financial support;
- Participants who have already attended past CP Doctoral Programmes will be given financial support if funding is available. In this case, priority is given to students who received less support from the DP in previous years.
Financial support consists in free conference registration and accommodation. NOTE that only the students who applied and got accepted for participation in the Doctoral Programme are subject to
financial support.
Paper Availability Student papers will be available during the conference and on the Conference website.
Submissions
We encourage submissions from Ph.D. students at any level, and from any topic area and methodology within Constraint Programming and its related fields. On the basis of the submissions, the Organizing
Committee will select a group of students that will be invited to present their work during the Doctoral Programme, either as a presentation or a poster. We expect a commitment from all participating students to attend the entire Doctoral Programme.
The paper should be a maximum of 6 pages in length and should follow the usual LNCS style format (
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
NOTE that the page limit is strict and longer papers will NOT be reviewed. It should describe original, unpublished work, completed or in progress, that is part of the doctoral work of the student(s). The authors should be formatted as:
Student(s): ...
Supervisor(s): ...
If an extended version of the paper is also submitted to the technical programme, THIS MUST BE INDICATED in the ABSTRACT of the paper. Double submission is acceptable, but if the paper is accepted also for the technical programme, the student will present the work only in the technical programme sessions and not during the Doctoral Programme. The papers of the students accepted for participation to the Doctoral Programme will be made available on the conference webpage.
In addition, the dissertation advisor should send a letter of recommendation by e-mail to cp-phd2007 @ aegean.gr. The letter should:
- confirm that the applicant is a Ph.D. student working in Constraint Programming or its related fields;
- indicate whether the student has already benefitted from the past CP Doctoral Programmes, and if yes how many times;
- include the expected date for thesis submission;
- and the motivation/expected benefit for the student to attend the Doctoral Programme.
This letter can be sent in as either a text or a PostScript or a Pdf file.
