Ph.D Forum
The PhD forum provides an opportunity for research students to showcase their original yet incomplete ‘work-in-progress’. Apart from the TPC reviews, presentations would allow authors an opportunity to have detailed discussions with the conference attendees and obtain feedback on their work. The forum also encourages authors to hold live and/or interactive demonstrations as part of their presentations.

Submission guidelines:
Original submissions are invited for ENCoS 2019 PhD forum in the areas mentioned above. Authors must submit their ideas through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=encos2019) on before 31st March 2019. Submissions should not exceed 4 pages including figures and references. The paper should describe the main motivation and results (if any) in sufficient detail to allow the reviewers to assess the potential contribution of the work. The paper should be authored by atleast one active PhD students (typically those who are in the early stage of their PhD.) and should not exceed four (4) pages, in two-column format. A set of 5-7 keywords should accompany the paper. The paper will not be archived, and the authors would not need to sign the IEEE copyright form. Forum Papers will be reviewed by the TPC and only selected work can be presented in the conference. However, the selected abstracts will not appear in IEEE-Explore. Submitted abstracts should be unpublished and not under review for any other publication and if selected the authors must present their work at the conference. Authors may include the following sections as a part of their paper:
1. Abstract (150 Words)
2. Introduction
3. Related Works
4. Motivation
5. Methodology
6. Results (if any)
7. Conclusion and future works
