The presentation of research is an integral part of completing a PhD. This is a brilliant opportunity to develop your presentation and writing skills. 12 student talks will be selected to present at the SICSA PhD Conference 2014, 3 from each of the SICSA Research Themes below. These are used as general headings and any presentation in the general area of these themes would be warmly welcomed.

• Next Generation Internet

• Complex Systems Engineering

• Multimodal Interaction

• Modelling and Abstraction

Extended abstracts will be accepted from PhD students who wish to give an oral presentation (20 minutes including 3 minutes for questions) about their current research or research proposal. The top marked abstracts from each theme will be selected to be presented at the conference. Prizes will be given at the conference to the best abstract under each theme and a £60 (voucher) prize will be given to the best overall abstract. Feedback will be given from a carefully selected panel of academic reviewers for all abstracts.
