Message from the PhD Forum Chairs

Abstract

Welcome to the PhD forum organized in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2010). This is the second time that a separate platform devoted to enabling senior graduate students and recent graduates to showcase their research has been organized at MDM. This year we had 14 submissions from eight universities spread across five countries. Of these, 13 high quality submissions were selected for the final program after careful review by the technical program committee. The authors will be given the opportunity to present their contributions as a poster. As an added incentive, a number of best poster awards will be given to the most innovative idea and the most interesting work presented at the Ph.D. Forum. We look forward to seeing you in Kansas City to enjoy the MDM conference. We are confident that you will find both the conference and the PhD forum inspiring and interesting, and the conference location attractive and memorable.
