| Detailed Instructions and Application Form |
OOPSLA'97 will again host a forum for graduate students to present and discuss their dissertation research. Doctoral students who are within one year of thesis completion are invited to apply to the Doctoral Symposium, a closed session in which a group of 8-10 students present their research in a workshop format to each other and a group of 4 to 5 mentors. The one-day symposium aims to broaden the perspectives of new entrants to the object-technology research community and to provide constructive comments on the ongoing thesis research.
Each applicant should have an approved committee and topic. We are looking for students who are advanced enough to have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but with sufficient time remaining to thesis completion to benefit from the symposium experience. Application forms for describing the thesis topic and progress are available from the Symposium chair. A brief letter of recommendation from the student's thesis advisor is also required. Students selected as participants will receive partial reimbursement for conference-related expenses.
Students may request application forms by electronic mail beginning January 1997. Requests for an application form may be e-mailed to the Symposium Chair.
Applications must be received by Symposium Chair: May 1, 1997. Notification of acceptance or rejection: July 18, 1997.
