BACKGROUND:
===========
The Doctoral Consortium will take place in conjunction with the 5th
International Conference on Software and Data Technologies (ICSOFT), to
be held on July 22 - 24 in Athens, Greece. The ICSOFT 2010 doctoral
consortium will provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore
their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the
guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field.

The Doctoral Consortium on Software and Data Technologies is intended to
bring together Ph.D. students within the software and data technologies
fields to discuss their research in an international forum. The Doctoral
Consortium will provide students with an opportunity to:
- Present their research work in a relaxed and supportive environment
- Receive feedback and suggestions from peers and experienced faculty
- Gain an overview of the breadth and depth of software and data
technologies research
- Obtain insight into directions for software and data technologies
research taken by other doctoral candidates
- Discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and
other issues
- Network with peers and future colleagues

Thus, the Consortium will help shape ongoing and future research
projects aimed at software and data technologies, will promote
scholarship and networking among new researchers in this emerging
interdisciplinary area, and will expose these promising young
researchers to the larger global community.
