1st ESUG Doctoral Symposium
                            part of the
                      9th ESUG Smalltalk Conference
                           Essen, Germany

The ESUG Doctoral Symposium brings together PhD and Master students with
experienced Smalltalk developers from industry and academia.  Students have
the opportunity to present their research in a separate, dedicated track of
the 9th ESUG Smalltalk Conference.  The program committee will then give
feedback on their work, from a research and a Smalltalk perspective.  This
call is for both students and committee members:

    - Students that are interested in participating should send their name,
      affiliation, promotor and an abstract.  The abstract should describe
      the context of the research, the problem that is tackled, and the
      outline of the solution.  It should indicate where Smalltalk is used
      and the motivation for using it.

    - Experienced Smalltalkers or holders of a PhD are invited to join the
      event and form a committee that will review the abstracts, attend the
      Doctoral Symposium and give comments on the students' research.
      Please send a short resumee to rwuyts at iam.unibe.ch.

Symposium) can be found on the ESUG website:
