*********************************************************************************
The ICWE 2015 PhD Symposium aims to improve the research of
PhD students and broaden their perspectives by giving them the
opportunity to share and develop their research ideas in a
critical but supportive environment, get feedback from mentors
who are senior members of the Web engineering community,
improve their communication skills, exchange ideas and build
relationships with other international Web engineering PhD
students.
This event will bring together PhD students working on
topics related to the Web Engineering field. The goal is to
provide a forum for PhD students to present ongoing research
in a collaborative environment and share ideas with other
young researchers in an international atmosphere.
Â
Selected contributions will be presented in a dedicated
conference session where participants will discuss their
research ideas and results, and receive constructive feedback
from an audience consisting of their peers as well as more
senior experts in the field. In addition to that, students
will be invited to participate at the poster sessions so that
they also receive comments of other participants in the
conference.
PhD students carrying out research in Web Engineering are
invited to submit a paper to the PhD Symposium, to be reviewed
by the program committee members. We particularly encourage
submissions from students who are at the last stages of their
doctoral work but with sufficient time prior to completing
their dissertation, and from those who are in the beginning
stages but have a specific research proposal who can obtain
valuable feedback about their research plans.
The criteria used for accepting a paper include potential
quality of the research, contribution of the work to the field
of Web Engineering, originality of the work, and overall
quality of  paper.
All PhD Symposium papers will be published in the main
conference proceedings that will be published in Springer
LNCS.
