Dear CIAO! members,<br>
<br>
The deadline for submitting a paper for the CIAO! Doctoral
Consortium is approaching. We would like to invite the PhD students
to take the chance and to write a paper for that event. We also need
the support of supervisors, who are asked to motivate their students
and give support in finalizing such a paper :-)<br>
<br>
We expect the submission of abstracts by March 24th and papers by
March 31st. You can find the call for papers for the CIAO! Doctoral
Consortium under the following URL: <a
