Call for Position Papers
DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM at AutomotiveUI'22
Seoul, South Korea # Saturday, September 17, 2022
Submissions due: July 6th, 2022 AoE
************************************************************************
*** GOALS (FOR PARTICIPANTS) ***
1. To improve research in the field of automotive user interfaces UI by
providing PhD students with feedback on proposed dissertations.
2. To provide opportunities for PhD students to network with peers
& facilitate professional development by sharing research interests.
*** WHEN AND HOW? ***
The AutomotiveUI'22 doctoral colloquium (DC) will be held on Saturday,
17 September 2022 (the day before the main conference). This way, PhD
students selected for the DC may participate in all other conference
formats (e.g. attend workshops, tutorials, and enjoy all of the main
conference). Depending on the number and origin of accepted applications
the DC will run in one or two sessions. The DC is by invitation only.
Those invited to present their PhD project or review presentations are
permitted to attend the doctoral colloquium to comply with confidenti-
ality constraints.
*** WHAT IS THE DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM? ***
The DC aims to bring together PhD students working on topics related to
automotive user interfaces and interactive vehicular applications,
providing them with an opportunity to present and discuss their
research with their peers and senior faculty.
Each participant will be allocated a dedicated time slot, split into a
presentation part and a feedback part with oral feedback by at least
three senior faculty or researchers. The presentation will be intimate
to encourage interaction with only the session organizer, reviewers, and
other student DC presenters in attendance. Reviewer feedback will cover
all aspects of the proposal (choice of topic, how it is investigated,
etc.). Students are expected to attend all other presentations in their
session, take notes for their peers, and provide those notes to other
students in their session. In 2022, we will also try to make the DC a
rich experience for participants by (1) connecting PhD students before
the conference, and (2) using technology during the meeting to document
suggestions/comments from reviewers (e.g., video recording of sessions,
documentation in Google Docs, etc.).
The topics of the AutomotiveUI'22 doctoral colloquium are identical with
the main conference, see https://www.auto-ui.org/22/authors for details.
*** ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION ***
The AutomotiveUI'22 doctoral colloquium welcomes contributions from
doctoral students currently registered in a PhD program. Ideal
candidates should have worked on their dissertation for some months;
they should have chosen a research topic and possibly have also made
progress in identifying the relevant theories and their research plan.
A number of seats at the DC are reserved for recurring students. They
are welcome to submit PhD progress proposals in which they should draw a
clear picture on how previous DCs have helped to reshape their PhD work.
Selection of participants will be based on the quality of the submission
and its relevance to the conference topics, as well as the likelihood
of DC benefit to the participant.
*** SUBMISSION FORMAT ***
Submissions must be single-author, but the name of the supervisor
must be mentioned in the submission. The conversation language of the
colloquium is English and all submissions must be also in English.
To apply to the DC, describe your proposed dissertation topic in up to 6
pages (including figures/tables and the 150-word abstract) but excluding
literature reference using the publication format of the main conference
(single-column ACM SIGCHI format).
The research proposal should:
+ give a crisp introduction to the field/problem domain,
+ present key related work (current status of the problem domain and
related solutions, applicable norms/standards),
+ clearly formulate the research questions/approaches [Hint: Presenting
those questions as who, what, when, where, and why questions is often
helpful.],
+ point out significance and innovation (expected contributions),
+ describe the research method that is planned or has been applied,
+ outline your contribution to the problem domain and highlight the
uniqueness of your approach,
+ pose questions and issues (that you would like to discuss at the DC)
In addition, submit a one-page biographical sketch (CV), including a
paragraph stating what you hope to get out of participating in the DC.
Please submit your research proposal and biographical sketch via the
PCS conference management system (https://new.precisionconference.com/).
