Background

----------

The Department of Computer Science at the University of York is to host

the 4th York Doctoral Symposium on Computer Science (YDS 2011), on the

20th October this year. The goal of the symposium is to bring together

doctoral students from around the UK and Europe to share and exchange

their research and ideas with others. The symposium will promote

interdisciplinary research and help research students to gain experience

in presenting their work to colleagues.

Submission Guidelines: Papers

-----------------------------

This year, we will be accepting two categories of papers:

Full length papers (up to 8 pages)

Extended abstracts (2-4 pages)

Extended abstracts can describe very early work and ideas; full length

papers should describe work that is more developed. We urge authors to

write with the breadth of the symposium's scope in mind; papers should be

as self-contained as possible, and should not assume specialist background

knowledge, in order to enable as many participants as possible to engage

with the contribution.

Papers should be formatted using Springer's LNCS style. Templates and

guidelines are available from this webpage:

http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors

Paper submissions will only be accepted via Easychair: the link to use is

available from our "Submission" page on http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/yds/

Financial support may be available, upon request, to enable authors to

attend the symposium.

Submission Guidelines: Posters

-----------------------------

For the first time, YDS will be offering a poster session this year.

With regards to submission, we require the following:

(1) A one-page abstract of your research (for inclusion in the proceedings).

(2) A poster OR a poster plan.

The above submissions should be sent electronically to

cposkitt@cs.york.ac.uk, NOT via our Easychair instance (which is for

papers only). Further details are available from our "Submission" page on

http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/yds/ . Note in particular the later submission

deadline for posters.

Financial support may be available, upon request, to enable poster authors

to attend.

Publication

-----------

The proceedings of the symposium (which will include both types of paper,

as well as poster abstracts) will be published as a technical report by

the Department of Computer Science, The University of York. The report

will be freely available online via

http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/library/onlinereports/ , and in addition, a

number of hard copies will be printed.
