==============================
Doctoral Consortium @ IS-EUD 2017
==============================
The IS-EUD Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for international PhD students to present their work and receive feedback and new perspectives to improve it. Students will have the possibility to discuss their problem statement, goals, methods, and results in a friendly forum under the guidance of a panel of experienced researchers.

We invite applications from PhD students who are working in the broad field of End-User Development. The consortium is open to students at any stage in their research. Students at an initial stage will have the opportunity to challenge and refine their ideas and research directions. Students at a more advanced stage will have the opportunity to present their thesis and get advice on ways to improve the presentation of their work. Furthermore, participation will facilitate networking of younger researchers within the End-User Development research community.

===================================
Paper Format, Submission and Proceedings

Submissions must be single-author. The language of the consortium is English.

- identify a significant problem in End User Development,
- outline the current status of the problem domain and related solutions,
- clearly present any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far,
- describe the research methodology that is applied or planned,
- outline the contributions of the applicant’s work to the problem domain, and highlight their uniqueness,
- be within 4 pages
- be carefully formatted in the Springer LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0)
