The Doctoral<br>Consortium offers nice opportunities for PhD students. Firstly, the feedback<br>received during the Doctoral Consortium will really benefit students who have<br>defined their topic, research plan and have obtained early results, but who<br>still have room for improving their longer-term plan. Secondly, students at all<br>stages of their doctoral project can meet the welcoming RCIS community and<br>widen their network of contacts.<br><br>The Doctoral Consortium has the following objectives:<br>• Provide a platform for students to present their work and to meet other<br>peers and be familiar with different research topics and methods. <br>• Provide feedback on students' current research and guidance on future<br>research directions.<br>• Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a<br>spirit of collaborative research and networking.<br>• Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other<br>researchers.<br><br>Interested PhD students are invited to submit papers, in agreement with<br>their supervisors, addressing the instructions that are provided on the<br>online call: <a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQkxNHRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBSZXNlYXJjaCBDaGFsbGVuZ2VzIGluIEluZm9ybWF0aW9uIFNjaWVuY2UgKFJDSVMgMjAyMCk6IExhc3QgTWlsZSBmb3IgVHV0b3JpYWxzLCBEQywgUG9zdGVycyBhbmQgRGVtb3MgU3VibWlzc2lvbnMJNDcwCUxpc3RzCTEzNwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rcis-conf.com%2Frcis2020%2FcallDoctoral.php">http://www.rcis-conf.com/rcis2020/callDoctoral.php</a> .<br><br>Papers shall be formatted according to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP conference<br>proceedings template (for LaTeX and Word):<br><a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQkxNHRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBSZXNlYXJjaCBDaGFsbGVuZ2VzIGluIEluZm9ybWF0aW9uIFNjaWVuY2UgKFJDSVMgMjAyMCk6IExhc3QgTWlsZSBmb3IgVHV0b3JpYWxzLCBEQywgUG9zdGVycyBhbmQgRGVtb3MgU3VibWlzc2lvbnMJNDcwCUxpc3RzCTEzNwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fgp%2Fcomputer-science%2Flncs%2Fconference-proceedings-guidelines">https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines</a> .<br>Submissions must be written in English, and must be authored by the student<br>only.

While posters need not describe<br>completed work, they should report on research for which at least some<br>preliminary results are available.<br><br>• Demonstrations should directly and actively involve the exhibition and<br>display of tools/prototypes and associated materials that illustrate research<br>work in progress and serve as ground for discussion of research ideas.<br><br>Posters and demonstrations proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file<br>with no more than 6 pages in Springer LNCS/LNBIP format<br>(<a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQkxNHRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBSZXNlYXJjaCBDaGFsbGVuZ2VzIGluIEluZm9ybWF0aW9uIFNjaWVuY2UgKFJDSVMgMjAyMCk6IExhc3QgTWlsZSBmb3IgVHV0b3JpYWxzLCBEQywgUG9zdGVycyBhbmQgRGVtb3MgU3VibWlzc2lvbnMJNDcwCUxpc3RzCTEzNwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fgp%2Fcomputer-science%2Flncs%2Fconference-proceedings-guidelines">https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines</a> )<br>including references and appendices.
