The Doctoral Symposium takes place Tuesday, May 17 and provides a supportive and questioning setting in which PhD students present and receive feedback on their research ideas. It is open only to students whose research proposals were accepted by the program committee and to invited speakers.
In addition to presenting at the Doctoral Symposium, 14 of the students will present at a Thesis-in-Three session during the Main Conference. The ICSE 2016 Main Conference Schedule will be posted in February.
