[Members] CfP: 19th CIAO! Doctoral Consortium - Lisbon, Portugal, May 20th - held in conjunction with the 9th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference

[EEWC 2019 DC]

Dear colleagues,

as previously announced in the EEWC CfPs, the deadline for submitting a
paper for the CIAO! Doctoral Consortium is approaching and we now send this
reminder.

We would like to reinforce our invitation for PhD students to take the
chance and to write a paper for the DC. Therefore we need the support of
their supervisors, who are asked to motivate the students and to give
support in finalizing such a paper :-)

We expect the submission of the papers by April 15 (abstracts one week
before - April 8 ).

You find the call for papers for the CIAO! Doctoral Consortium below and
under the following URL:

.

The 19th CIAO! Doctoral Consortium will be held in conjunction with the 9th
Enterprise Engineering Working Conference in Lisbon, Portugal in May. See:

**19th CIAO! Doctoral Consortium Workshop**

In conjunction with the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC
2019)
<http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=ZXOF1m8fYpO78ndRkUB88lhdSOIxUFt5htPYLlgLnzpS4GHoVN0GzrDRF9lck7YH>

20 - 21 May, 2019, Lisbon, Portugal

The CIAO! Enterprise Engineering (CEEN) Doctoral Consortium is a workshop
for doctoral students whose research is related to the CIAO! and/or EEWC
<http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=ZXOF1m8fYpO78ndRkUB88lhdSOIxUFt5htPYLlgLnzpS4GHoVN0GzrDRF9lck7YH>
research topics at any stage in their thesis. The goal of the Doctoral
Consortium is to help the doctoral students with their thesis by giving
feedback on their own research work as well as to give some general advice
on making the most of their research environment.

The first objective of the CEEN Doctoral Consortium is to encourage
doctoral students to write, submit and present papers and to help them to
improve the quality of the papers. The second objective is to be a platform
for meeting each other as well as for meeting the members of the CEEN.

Members of the CEEN Doctoral Consortium Referee Board will accompany the
workshop. They will study all the papers and comment on the content of the
thesis as well as on the presentations. The doctoral students will have
between half to one hour time for their presentations, focusing on what the
main theme of the thesis is, what has been achieved and how the work should
continue. Another half to one hour is reserved for discussion and feedback
from both the members of the referee board and the other doctoral students.

Why submit a paper to the CEEN Doctoral Consortium?
When was the last time you were thinking about the state of your doctoral
thesis? Have you ever written a paper about your doctoral thesis for
convincing people that what you are doing makes sense and that it is
different from or better than existing solutions? Have you ever explained
to someone exactly why you propose your solution?

In writing a paper for the CEEN Doctoral Consortium, you have to think,
write and convince people about all these points. In return, you will
receive feedback, guidance and support.

Not only will you learn from the discussions about your own work, but also
from other doctoral students in action! The best way to learn how to
present your work may be from seeing both good and bad examples. Having
said that, the CEEN Doctoral Consortium provides a friendly and supportive
forum for such experiences.

What should be the content of such a paper? Different from other papers,
this paper addresses specifically your thesis, that is the thesis, the
whole thesis and nothing but the thesis. You should answer questions like:

 What is the problem being addressed in your thesis?
 What is the solution you are proposing?
 How does it relate to existing work?
 What is the state of your thesis?
 What have you done so far?
 What are your future plans?

The CEEN Doctoral Consortium will be rounded off by a discussion of general
questions related to your research. They include, but are not limited to,
the following aspects:

 Problem formulation
 Analysis and evaluation of the state of the doctoral thesis
 Research methodology
 
 Underlying principles of the approach,
 Utility of the approach
 Validation of the results

 Critical evaluation of one's own work
 
 Identification of the target audience and beneficiaries of a thesis
 Validation techniques (such as prototyping, field experiment, or
argumentation)

 Definition of the innovative contribution of a thesis to the existing
state of the art.

Submissions
To apply for presentation at the CEEN Doctoral Consortium, please submit a
paper of your doctoral work by uploading it to the EasyChair System here
<http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=gRCTPIMiYgyqroUO6HGi0FhdSOIxULt5htPYLlgLnzpS4GHoVN3GzrDRF9lck7YH>
. The papers will then be distributed among the members of the referee
board in order to review them. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP
format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures,
references and appendices. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can
be found at Springer LNBIP Web page
<http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=RnJcWvoPB72qAFwSj445/FhdSOIxUEt5htPYLlgLnzpS4GHoVN12zrDRF9lck7YH>
. In the author section of the paper, the first name and affiliation should
be of the student. The supervisor(s) names and affiliations should follow
with the respective role (e.g., main supervisor, or co-supervisor) between
brackets after the name. In the Easychair system submission only the
student should be specified as author.

Your submitted paper should

 clearly formulate the research question,
 identify the significant problems in the field of research,
 outline the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state
of existing solutions,
 present clearly any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the
results achieved so far,
 sketch the research methodology that is or will be applied,
 point out the contributions of the applicant to the problem solution, and
 state in what aspects the suggested solution is different, new or better
as compared to existing approaches to the problem.

Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and
clarity. No more than 6 papers can be accepted for presentation.
