Dear Ph.D. Students,

The 2010 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and
Control (ICNSC 2010) is very pleased to organize a Doctoral Consortium
for Ph.D. students from all over the world. The objective of this
Doctoral Consortium is to provide an opportunity for Ph.D. students
to discuss their dissertation research topics, research plans, and
research methodologies with peers in the community, and use such
feedbacks and suggestions to further guide their dissertation research.
Furthermore, this Doctoral Consortium also provides a unique platform
for Ph.D. students to access the latest research development in
this field, and develop the networking with research community for
their future career development.

This Doctoral Consortium will take place in conjunction with the 2010
ICNSC Chicago, U.S.A. The program will be on the second day of the
conference (i.e., April 12, 2010). The organizing committee will
select a maximal of 15 Ph.D. students based on their submissions, and
all selected students will have the opportunity to present their
research in a special session. Industry and academia experts will
monitor and conduct the session. Partial financial support will be
available to selected students.

Interested Ph.D. students must submit their abstracts before the
deadline. The organizing committee will review all submissions and
select students for this Doctoral Consortium. All research topics
within the scope of the ICNSC 2010 conference are invited.

The abstract should include the following information:

1. A cover page including the student’s name, affiliation, research
field (be specific), year in the Ph.D. program, email and detailed
contact addresses;

2. A description of your Ph.D. dissertation research, including the
following contents:
(a) Research problem statement;
(b) Significance and objectives;
(c) Summary of the current state-of-the-art;
(d) Proposed research methodology and plan;
(e) Preliminary results;
(f) Future plans.

3. A detailed resume.

All documents should be submitted as a single PDF file to the following
email address: icnsc10@gmail.com. Please write in the email subject
„2010 ICNSC Ph.D. Consortium Submission”. All submissions will be
evaluated by the organizing committee in terms of originality,
significance, correctness, and clarity.
