Submissions to the Doctoral Consortium should include a 2-page summary of the Ph.D. student’s work (including research context, past accomplishments, future directions, and problems encountered) and a 1-page CV.

Upon acceptance, students have to submit a consortium paper (no longer than 6 pages), including references and possible attachments. DC papers revised and submitted according to reviewer comments will be published in the ACM Digital Library along with the conference proceedings.
