KR 2010 Doctoral Consortium
Aims and Scope
The Doctoral Consortium is a student mentoring program that introduces
students to senior researchers with research similar interests. The aims of the
consortium are:
- to provide a forum for students to present their current research,
and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers
- to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas
- to support students with information and advice on academic,
research and industrial careers
We encourage submissions from PhD students at any level, and from any topic
area within Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.
Students accepted into
the Doctoral Consortium may apply for financial support for
partly covering their KR-2010 conference
travel expenses.
Doctoral Consortium participants awarded financial support by the DC Committee are
expected to contribute their time (about 6 hours) to help with
organizational and administrative tasks during the conference.
Application
Applications
must be submitted via our online submission site (see below).
Each application must contain the following materials:
- Thesis summary. A description of the problem being addressed, your
motivation for addressing the problem, proposed plan of research,
the progress to date (what you have already achieved and what remains to
be done), and related work. It must be four pages maximum in double column
format like the papers in previous KR proceedings.
- Letter of recommendation. A letter from your thesis advisor that states
that he/she supports your participation in the DC.
The most preferred way of submission is to combine the thesis summary and
letter of recommendation into a single PDF document.
If you cannot do that, archive the two documents into a single zip file.
In either case, the resulting single file has to be submitted via the
EasyChair system at
Note: Some people have experienced difficulties to submit zip files to the site. If you cannot combine the thesis summary and letter of recommodation
into a single pdf file, you can just submit your thesis summary in pdf
file to the site, and email the letter of reccommodation to DC chair.
