Year-2 students, i.e. full-time students studying at the Department who have passed their confirmations but have not presented a paper at an earlier edition of the PhD conference series, are required to submit a full paper and present the paper in the form of an oral talk with slides at the conference. Other students studying at the Department who do not fall into the above two categories are encouraged to submit a paper or a poster to the conference. These include part-time PhD students and external PhD students who are currently visiting the Department and will still be with the Department on 6th May 2015. The papers and posters submitted by students in this category can be based on work under review or just accepted. EasyChair™ submission web link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?co nf=compconf2015 The Department’s 2015 Annual PhD Conference will be held on the 6th May 2015. As in previous editions of the conference series, we will be awarding a number of prizes for Best Papers (2 prizes, one for Year-2 Students and one for Other Students) Best Presentations (2 prizes, one for Year-2 Students and one for Other Students) Best Posters (2 prizes, one for Year-1 Students and one for Other Students) In order to be eligible, you MUST submit your work as a paper or a poster and present it in person at the conference. Please be aware that as part of your PhD Programme, we request mandatory submissions from all first and second year full-time PhD students (see more details in the left column), and optional submission from all other students (more senior students, all part-time students and visiting students). In principle, we expect you to submit a paper or a poster that has not been published or accepted to a publication venue (e.g. journal or conference or book chapter), but it is acceptable if you submit a paper still under review elsewhere or a poster reporting your published/accepted work. For paper submissions, it is encouraged that the work submitted contains original research results that have not been published elsewhere yet. For poster submissions, you can report your work in progress and your future research plan, if you have not reached the stage of producing original research results yet. The PhD Conference will not have a proceedings, so you still own all copyrights of your submitted work which can still be freely submitted to other venues in future for possible publication. Any topics related to computer science and engineering are welcome. Example topics include but are not limited to the following: Digital Ecosystems • Cloud Computing • e-Learning • Web Oriented Architecture • Models of Open Systems • Green IT • Data Analytics Formal Methods and Security • Applied Cryptography • Network Security • Formal Methods • Secure Electronic Voting • Integration of CSP||B • Verification and Security Analysis Multimedia, Security and Forensics • Multimedia Security • Digital and Multimedia Forensics • Multimedia Computing • Usable Security and Privacy • Biometrics and e-Health Nature Inspired Computing and Engineering • Developmental and Cognitive Neuroscience • Computational Intelligence • Machine Learning • Systems Biology and Morphogenetic Engineering Paper submissions can be submitted using any standard paper templates (e.g. IEEE or ACM twocolumn format) and the main body of the paper should not exceed 16 pages (including references but not any appendixes). Even if you elect not to submit a paper or a poster, you may still attend the conference to learn about other students’ work poster. There will be two invited talks given by two speakers, one from academia (University of Southampton) and the other from industry (IBM). There will be a buffet lunch as well which is available for free to all registered attendees.
