The ICDE 2006 Ph.D. Workshop is intended to bring together Ph.D. students working on topics related to the ICDE Conference
series. The goal is to provide a forum for Ph.D. students to present ongoing research in a collaborative environment and share
ideas with other similar young researchers in an international atmosphere. Participants will be able to discuss their
research ideas and results, and receive constructive feedback from an audience consisting of their peers as well as more
senior researchers in their respective research areas. It will be an excellent opportunity for developing links and
person-to-person networks which will be beneficial to our science and will be rewarding to the Ph.D. students. Furthermore, we
will invite a few more experienced researchers, people who have had experience in supervising and examining Ph.D. students, to
provide feedback and advice to the participants.
The workshop addresses Ph.D. students at any stage of their Ph.D. career: people just starting their Ph.D.s, those in the
middle, and some close to completion.
The program committee consists largely of younger faculty members with diverse interests and a demonstrated dedication to
fostering research. All PC members will be attending the ICDE and have preliminarily agreed to attend the Workshop.
Workshop Organization
The Ph.D. Workshop will consist of about 6 hours of presentations spread over sessions with each paper occupying a total of 30
minutes including discussion. Every presenter at the Ph.D. workshop must register for the main conference--no other
registration is needed.
Submission Requirements
Only active Ph.D. students are eligible to submit, and topics are restricted to their doctoral work. Advisors are welcome to
be coauthors, but the submission should be primarily written by the Ph.D. student and must be presented by the Ph.D. student.
Topics of interest include those listed in the call for the main conference. Each submission should include a clear
formulation of the research problem, a brief discussion of how your work advances related work, proposed solution approach and
preliminary results, outstanding future work and a discussion of the contribution of your work.
All submissions should be PDF files in IEEE format, as specified by ICDE, and are limited to 4 pages. Submissions should be
emailed to Wai Gen Yee at waigen@ir.iit.edu.
