Submissions will be reviewed by the Ph.D. Forum program committee to ensure
quality, relevance, and potential benefit from attendance at the Forum.
Submissions are expected to include motivation of the importance and challenges
to the particular problem, and initial results that support either the
importance of the research problem or viability of solutions. Authors of
accepted submissions are expected to participate in-person. The proceedings of
the Forum will be included in the proceedings of the main conference.</span></p>
