PoEM’15 Doctoral Consortium Call for Papers
The PoEM’15 Doctoral Consortium will be the 1st Doctoral Consortium of a series to come in the future in conjunction with the PoEM conference. It is intended to bring together PhD students working on foundations, techniques, tools and applications of Enterprise Modeling and provide them with an opportunity to present and discuss their research to an audience of peers and senior faculty in a supportive environment, as well as to participate in a number of plenary sessions with Information Systems academics.
The goals of the Doctoral Consortium are:
- To provide fruitful feedback and advice to the selected PhD students on their research project
- To provide the opportunity to meet experts from different backgrounds working on topics related to the Enterprise Modeling discipline
- To interact with other PhD students and stimulate an exchange of ideas and suggestions among participants
- To provide the opportunity to discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other career-related issues
- Identify a significant problem in the field of research and establish a gap based on the current status of the problem domain and existing solutions
- Indicate a research goal related to the identified gap and clearly formulate the research question
- Present preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far
- Describe the research methodology that is applied or planned
- Outline the contributions of the applicant’s work to the problem domain and highlight their uniqueness
To be eligible for the Doctoral Consortium, the candidate must be a current doctoral student within a recognized university. Ideally, the candidate should have at least 6-12 months work remaining before expected completion (and at least 6 month of work already performed).
