25th IEEE EDOC 2021 – The Enterprise Computing Conference

                 http://www.ieee-edoc.org/2021/

DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM

The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a forum of exchange organized to 
encourage PhD students present their early work, exchange with other 
researchers in their fields. Senior researchers will provide feedback 
and advice on the work and advice on managing research projects. The 
Doctoral Consortium is also a place to establish a social network with 
the peers in the field of the conference. In addition, there will be an 
opportunity to engage with some industry participants interested in this 
domain.
The technical scope of the Doctoral Consortium is that of EDOC 2021, as 
described by the list of the topics in the EDOC 2021 call for papers. 
This Conference series emphasizes a holistic view of enterprise 
applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches 
that can address and relate processes, people and technology.
We encourage submissions from PhD students at an early stage of their 
research project, i.e., typically in their first or second year using a 
variety of research methodologies including engineering and empirical 
methodologies. A submission to the DC should clearly describe 
motivation, goal, expected results and the research approach taken. 
Participants will be expected to actively discuss and argue about their 
work by reading each other’s work prior to the Consortium, giving a 
presentation at the Consortium, debating together, and listening to 
senior researchers’ feedback.

DC SUBMISSIONS
To participate at the Doctoral Consortium, students should submit a 
paper (typically 4 to 6 pages) that covers the following aspects::
- The context and goal of the research;
- The scientific problem addressed in the PhD project and its relevance 
to the conference field. Any observation or case study that justifies or 
substantiates the problem should be given. The problem can be further 
specified with research questions and hypotheses;
- Earlier works that have addressed a similar problem. Explanations why 
the problem is not solved (i.e. open issues and controversies) should be 
underlined;
- The scientific method proposed to address the problem at hand ;
- The expected results, and any result that has already been obtained so 
far;
- A plan for the evaluation of results.

The research summary paper is to be submitted electronically (PDF) to 
EDOC 2021 submission site (Doctoral Consortium track):

problem statement, related work, self-contained and feasible method 
description, realistic expected results, and sensible evaluation plan.
- Overall quality.
