The Doctoral Symposium is a forum for graduate students to present and discuss their dissertation research objectives, approaches, and preliminary results. The workshop aims to broaden the perspectives and improve the research skills of new entrants to the software engineering community. Students receive guidance and feedback on various aspects of their research from established researchers and the other graduate student attendees. The workshop is intended for students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but with sufficient time prior to thesis completion to benefit from the workshop experience. A summary of the workshop program and contributions will appear in the conference proceedings.
Attendance is by prior application and invitation.
His academic research and industrial collaborations have exerted far-reaching influence on software design and development. His groundbreaking writings capture the essence of the innovations, controversies, challenges, and solutions of the software industry. Together, they constitute the foundation for modern software theory and practice. This symposium is being held in Recognition of Parnas's work and in honour of his 60th birthday. It is an opportunity for everyone in the software engineering community to celebrate his contributions, and to think hard about where we are today and where we are going.
