Goal:
The CAiSE'11 Doctoral Consortium is intended to bring together PhD students working on foundations, techniques, tools and applications of information systems and give them the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive and international atmosphere.
The goals of the Doctoral Consortium event are:
- To provide fruitful feedback and advice to the selected Ph.D. students on their research thesis.
- To provide the opportunity to meet experts from different backgrounds working on topics related to the Information Systems Engineering field.
- To interact with other PhD students and stimulate an exchange of ideas and suggestions among participants.
The CAiSE'11 Doctoral Consortium will be accompanied by prominent professors in the field of information systems who will actively participate in and contribute to the discussions. The workshop in London, will be the 18th Doctoral Consortium of a series held in conjunction with the CAiSE conferences.
We particularly encourage students that are somewhere in the middle of their research to submit to this workshop. The participants of the doctoral consortium are also strongly encouraged to register for and attend the main conference.
Submission process

Submission format and rules
The paper must:
- clearly formulate the research question,
- identify the significant problems in the field of research,
- outline the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of existing solutions,
- present clearly any preliminary ideas,
- the proposed approach and the results achieved so far,
- sketch the research methodology that is being applied,
- point out the contributions of the applicant to the solution of the problem, and state in what aspects the suggested solution is different, new or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem.
Each Submitted paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the Doctoral Consortium Programme Committee. The main evaluation criteria are: originality, significance, technical soundness, accuracy, and clarity. Accepted papers will be published electronically in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series (ISSN 16130073).
