<title></title></head><body><p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 :-)</p>
<p>We expect the submission of the papers by April 15 (abstracts one week before - April 8 ).</p>
<p>You find the call for papers for the CIAO! Doctoral Consortium below and under the following URL: <a target="_blank" href="http://ciaonetwork.org/events/19th-ciao-doctoral-consortium-workshop">http://ciaonetwork.org/events/19th-ciao-doctoral-consortium-workshop</a>.</p>
<p>The 19th CIAO! Doctoral Consortium will be held in conjunction with the 9th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference in Lisbon, Portugal in May. See: <a target="_blank" href="http://ciaonetwork.org/eewc2017">http://ciaonetwork.org/eewc2019</a> for details.</p>
<p>If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact us.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br />
—<br />
Sérgio Guerreiro and Robert Winter <br />
Co-Chairs of the 19th CIAO! Doctoral Consortium 2019</p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(77, 77, 79);">The CIAO! Enterprise Engineering (CEEN) Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for doctoral students whose research is related to the CIAO! and/or </span><a href="http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?tid=fU0FA1EAClQHDxgAVgZQGlUKAQVLVgZeCk8FUQIEXwABAQRVAAFOVFsMUQIIUgQaUgkNBksABg8BTwpQUwZLVQ0DVgNeA1BYBQpUSgUFUwdXCV0OSwFQXFxPBlBUUEtTBVUCG1cEVlhWWgwFUgEGAA" style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; color: rgb(14, 115, 184); outline-style: none; outline-width: medium; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.2s linear 0s;">EEWC</a><span style="color: rgb(77, 77, 79);"> 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.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(77, 77, 79);">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(77, 77, 79);">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.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 10px 0pt 15px; padding: 0pt;">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?</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0pt 15px; padding: 0pt;">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.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0pt 15px; padding: 0pt;">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.</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0pt 15px; padding: 0pt;">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:</p>
<ul style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; list-style: none;">
<li style="margin-top: 7px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 10px; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-bottom: 3px !important; padding-left: 22px !important; list-style: none outside none; background: url("images/bullets/5.gif") 0px 5px no-repeat;">What is the problem being addressed in your thesis?</li>
