University of Tunis El Manar
The 2nd Computer Science UTM PhD Symposium (CUPS’2023)
May 31, June 1-2, 2023 at the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis (FST) : https://sites.google.com/view/cups2023/home
1. PHD SYMPOSIUM CALL
The Computer Science PhD Symposium of the UTM is a forum for PhD students working in Computer Sciences and related areas of research to present their work, meet with peers and experienced researchers, obtain feedback, and earn credits needed towards their doctoral academic program. It aims at helping future researchers build up the skills and confidence required to conduct and promote their research, as well as giving them the opportunity to attend one of the most important research conferences and tutorials in computer science. Based on how well the first symposium went in 2017 at the National School of Engineers (ENIT), the second symposium, CUPS'2023, will be held at the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis from May 31 to June 2, 2023.
2. THE GOALS
The UTM PhD Symposium in Computer Sciences will give students the opportunity to:
- Learn by constructive criticism: Established researchers and PhD student advisors will provide constructive feedback to the submitted papers and posters by means of an open and non- adversarial review process.
- Learn about research: Achieving relevant research goes beyond writing a good paper; it includes perspectives on research as an endeavor and a career.
- Learn by presenting: Accepted contributions will be presented in the PhD Symposium. Students’ posters will be also presented and evaluated.
The PhD Symposium agenda will include:
- Conference for PhD students: the students (2nd or 3rd year) will have the opportunity to present their research work while meeting peers and experienced researchers.
- Scientific Specialized Training: Sessions of Tutorials given by specialists in Computer sciences research areas.
- Research Valorization & Professional Project: Meeting the actors of the socio-economic environment and organizing workshops and conferences on innovation project management and the professional integration of young doctors.
3. ELIGIBILITY
Submissions are open for (and only for) PhD students in the doctoral schools of the University of Tunis El Manar who are working in the field of computer sciences and related areas.
Depending on how far along the PhD student is, the submissions will be looked at in one of two categories:
- Starting PhD students (1st year): for students who may have identified the main research problem they want to address, the relevant literature, and are building their research methodology, but might not have yet obtained significant results, or only preliminary ones. The students in this category are invited to submit a poster describing their PhD research.
- Advanced PhD students (2nd year and later): For students who have already defined their approach (even if incompletely) and obtained significant results (e.g., that might already have been published). The students in this category are invited to submit a five pages paper describing their PhD research.
4. SUBMISSION INFORMATION
PhD students who are working in the computer science fields and related research fields are invited to submit before 1st of April 2023:
- A five A4 pages paper in the PDF format following the IEEE template (Download IEEE Templates from here https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html ).
The submission of the extended abstracts, and later of the papers, is done through the following EasyChair link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cups23
