Doctoral Symposium

In addition to its plenary scientific sessions, the conference will include a one-day doctoral symposium, creating an opportunity for doctoral students to present their thesis work proposals and progress, and receive constructive comments and guidance from peer mentors in the fields.

Submission Instructions

Authors are invited to submit papers up to 8 pages, in English, describing the results of their research, or of their innovative, practical applications relevant to the conference topics. All papers must be original contributions and not previously published nor currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers will be submitted on-line, in PDF format using IEEE standard template available on the conference website. For each paper the scientific program committee will evaluate its originality, relevance, and clarity. Accepted papers will be published in the main conference proceedings registered with IEEE Xplore and referenced in international libraries.

Students interested in RIVF'08 Doctoral Symposium are invited to submit papers up to 4 pages, on-line, and in the same PDF format and IEEE standard template as regular papers. All papers submitted to the doctoral symposium will also be reviewed and selected ones will be published in the conference addendum contributions.

Doctoral Symposium co-Chairs:

Marc Bui, EPHE Sorbonne Paris, France
Laurent El Ghaoui, UC Berkeley, USA

How do I submit my paper?

Unfortunately we cannot accept the paper submitted via e-mail. To facilitate the reviewing process you are asked to submit the paper via the RIVF website instead of sending it via e-mail. RIVF has a number of reviewers and we use the website as a centralized management tool for the reviewing process. Please follow the instruction below.

Go to the Sign up form to create a Profile. As you complete the form, you will receive username and password details via e-mail.

Use this information to sign in using the Sign in interface.

Once you are signed in with your Profile, you may submit a paper by selecting the new menu options that will appear in the left menu.

Call for Tutorials

The conference will be started with one day of tutorials on its topics. Tutorial proposals are invited and should be submitted by January 31, 2008, to the Tutorial Chair Prof. Dong Thi Bich Thuy. Each proposal should include one page of a sketch biography of the instructor, outline of the tutorial, and pre-requisites for the intended audience.
