CSBPS 2019 Main Track

The CSBPS 2019 Doctoral Symposium is a one-day event to be held on March 27, 2019 in London, UK. The symposium will bring together doctoral students working on foundations, techniques, tools, and applications in computer science and give them the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive atmosphere.

The goals of the Doctoral Symposium are to:

• provide the participants independent and constructive feedback on their current research and future research directions;
• develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research; and
• provide an opportunity for student participants to interact with established researchers and practitioners in the computer science community.
