Abstract Submission: The theme for the Context 2015 Doctoral Symposium is operationalizing context: the challenges of modelling and working with context across disciplines.\u00a0Submissions touching on any of the main CONTEXT 2015 conference topics are welcomed:<\/p>\n Given the breadth of the topics covered by the CONTEXT 2015, we ask that you focus your paper explicitly on the challenges of modelling and working with\u00a0context.<\/p>\n The Context 2015 Doctoral Symposium is an opportunity for doctoral researchers to showcase their work and discuss problems, challenges, and ideas in an\u00a0open and collegial environment with expert feedback. The Doctoral Symposium is a workshop for doctoral researchers from all over the world who are in the\u00a0early and middle phases of their research work (i.e., the Symposium is not intended for those who are finished or nearly finished their research).<\/p>\n The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to help doctoral researchers advance their research work by providing feedback and general advice in a constructive\u00a0atmosphere. Doctoral researchers will present and discuss their research in a supportive atmosphere with other doctoral researchers and an international\u00a0panel of established researchers that provide expert feedback. The workshop will take place on a single full day, Monday November 2, 2015, the day prior to\u00a0the start of the main CONTEXT 2015 conference.<\/p>\n Doctoral researchers will have at most 20 minutes to present their research, focusing on the main theme of their thesis, what they have achieved so far and\u00a0how they plan to continue with their work. Another 10 minutes is reserved for discussion and feedback from both professors and other participants. In the\u00a0course of the workshop, doctoral researchers will also have an opportunity to discuss more general questions related to doctoral research, e.g., on the\u00a0differences between in Ph.D. studies in various countries or on different methodological approaches taken by various disciplines.<\/p>\n Context is an interdisciplinary conference and the Doctoral Symposium encourages submissions that include trans-disciplinary approaches as well as\u00a0submissions from various disciplines. Because this is an international and interdisciplinary conference, we ask that you take this into account when writing\u00a0your paper or poster.<\/p>\n All submissions will be reviewed by a panel of reviewers (see program committee list). To be considered, all submissions must: Initial submissions should be a 1-2 page abstract and include an accompanying letter (or email) from their thesis supervisor supporting participation.\u00a0Participants will be selected on the basis of their relevance and completeness and notified on September 1, 2015. A full paper of between 6-8 pages is then\u00a0invited and participation is confirmed upon its upload on October 1, 2015.
