Colloquium Theme
The intent of the DDC is to bring together PhD students who have their research focus within the broader Organic Computing community and have not defended their thesis before July 2027. The main goal of this colloquium is to foster excellence in OC‑related research by providing students with feedback and advice that are particularly relevant to their doctoral studies and career development. Each participant will take part in the colloquium organisation and the review process for the other participants. The colloquium will give participants the opportunity to present their ongoing research in a friendly forum. They will obtain valuable feedback from colloquium attendees in a constructively critical and informal atmosphere.
The schedule includes:
Prepare an extended abstract or short paper of 6 pages (max.) reflecting your PhD concept
Participate in the review process
Participate in the (supervised) decision process (acceptance of submissions)
Present your work to an audience consisting mainly of other PhD students from your community
Identify points of contact between your work and others
Build your social research network
Meet experts in your research domain and listen to their invited talks and expertise
Enjoy the opportunity to improve your PhD work, overcome stipulations and learn from the experts
Submission
PhD students are invited to participate by submitting an extended abstract of up to 6 pages (including references and figures) via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocddc2027. Papers must be written in English. Papers should be formatted according to Springer LNCS style (see: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) using LaTeX and submitted in PDF format.
