Frequently Asked Question List

1. Q: Where to send the camera ready version of my paper ?
   A: To otm04-ws@cs.rmit.edu.au !!.
   Be sure to respect the deadline of August, 20th. Otherwise, your paper will not appear in the proceedings.
2. Q: Should I submit a paper to a PhD Symposium?
   A: YES ! See the main page why you should be motivated to do so.
   
3. Q: What makes this PhD Symposium different from others ?
   A: The ultimate goal is to give PhD students a -deep-, -complete- and -truthful- feedback on their ideas. They should not only get feedback on the topic itself but also on matters such as background knowledge and presentation techniques. After this experience the PhD student should feel more confident about the way (s)he has to work by having concrete steps towards a completion of a doctoral work. The benefits of this process are not only for the student herself, but also add value to the quality of work done in the corresponding supervisor's group.
   Therefore, each PhD student will dispose of about 20 minutes time for presentation and 20 minutes for discussion! An additional discriminating factor is the idea of having each paper read by at least 3 professors asking questions and giving hints to the PhD students.
4. Q: Should I submit an abstract - as mentioned on the submission cyberchair web site?
   A: No! Fill in your name, email, title etc. and just put a one-liner in the abstract field.
