All research topics which are called for the LDIC conference are also relevant for the Doctoral Workshop. The research proposals should address one of the topics listed at www.2012.ldic-conference.org.

The Doctoral Workshop bases on the submission of a research plan (not more than 5 pages) which will be reviewed by the Program Committee. In case of acceptance, the candidates are invited to present their topic (20 min. presentation, 20 min. discussion, 5 min. feedback). The Doctoral Workshop will start with a tutorial to introduce and train the basics of a professional presentation style. The Program Committee will reward the most promising PhD project as well as the best presentation with a Certificate.
