Doctoral Consortium

Please carefully read the instructions for submitting doctoral consortium papers camera ready.

The Doctoral Consortium (DC) serves as forum for PhD students to share ideas about the development and use of interactive television techniques, compare approaches, discuss future research problems and receive feedback from the international Interactive Television community.

Submissions should describe PhD research that is at a stage where feedback from the international interactive TV community might be of value. Thus, it is expected that students who will submit papers should be close to make a PhD research proposal, or have made it already but have at least a year of work remaining to complete their PhD thesis. Submissions must not exceed five pages (including references). They should be well organised and structured in a way that demonstrates the links between the concepts presented, and they should clearly specify:

  • the problem(s) that the proposed research is addressing and how this fits into the bigger picture
  • the aims and objectives of the research
  • the methodology to achieve the objectives and the proposed solution(s), including a brief description of work done so far and a tentative plan for future work
  • the main contribution(s) of the research to iTV and justification why the contribution will lead to a PhD.

Submissions should be made in electronic format as PDF files. In case your paper includes images or screenshots please ensure that you set image compression at 600dpi when you produce your PDF file. The deadline for submissions is 29th February 2008.

Papers must be formatted according to the EuroITV adjunct proceedings guidelines (.dot).

Submissions must be made via the Conference submission system
