Proceedings of the 2017 Workshop on MobiSys 2017 Ph.D. Forum

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the ACM MobiSys 2017 PhD Forum workshop in Niagara Falls. For the past several years, the PhD Forum has been a regular event of the ACM MobiSys conference. The forum provides a highly interactive, supportive, and friendly environment for PhD students to present and discuss their research with other students and experienced researchers from both academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum also provides an excellent opportunity for students to build their professional network. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough along in their PhD such that constructive and effective discussions on their thesis can be had. Participants will receive feedback regarding key challenges to solve, research approaches and strategies, as well as the suitability of their research methodologies. This year, the workshop program will consist of three technical sessions with two keynote speakers. The opening keynote will be given by Professor He Wang from Purdue University, followed by our first technical session on Mobile Sensing. Another keynote speech will be given by Dr. Aruna Balasubramanian from Stony Brook University, followed by our last two sessions on Mobile Systems and Wireless Communication and Security.
