AIM
This special session aims to provide an opportunity for PhD students to present their ongoing or completed work, receive constructive feedback from experts with different perspectives, and engage with the broader research community. By participating to this session, the PhD students will not only disseminate their results but will also have the possibility to identify new ideas and refine their future research directions.
We welcome submissions from all areas of computer science, spanning theoretical foundations to applied and interdisciplinary work. Contributions from MSc students are also encouraged, especially those pursuing research-oriented projects or considering doctoral studies.
