Call for Theses and Dissertations

The Workshop of Theses and Dissertations (WTD) aims to motivate discussions about the graduate-level research on topics covered by SIBGRAPI among graduate students, recently graduated students, and senior researchers. Researchers who have recently concluded their graduate studies are cordially invited to submit a paper to the SIBGRAPI WTD. Graduate works in progress are welcome for submission to the Workshop of Works in Progress (WIP).

Important Dates:

  • Paper submission deadline: May 15th, 2015 May 29th, 2015
  • Notification of acceptance: June 26th, 2015
  • Camera-ready: July 10th, 2015

Who can submit?

Students who defended their M.Sc or Ph.D. after 01/01/2014 and did not present their final work in previous editions of the SIBGRAPI WTD.

Selection criteria:

The WTD program committee will evaluate the submitted works with respect to the following criteria: originality, technical quality, contribution to the research area, and clarity of presentation.

Best work awards:

In the end of the poster session, a number of Ph.D. and M.Sc. works will be selected for an oral session, which will run for the best paper award. Awards for the best Ph.D. and M.Sc. works will be given based on the opinion of a small committee that will evaluate both poster and oral presentations. To be elegible for an award, the paper must be presented by the student. Ph.D. works must be presented in English. M.Sc. works may be presented in English or Portuguese, but English is preferable.

Submission Instructions:

Both M.Sc. and Ph.D. works must be written in English. The text should follow the SIBGRAPI formatting guidelines with the following adjustments:

  • The name of the authors should not be omitted, disregarding the requirement of anonymity for the articles. Students must appear as the first author and the advisor as the last author, with eventual co-advisors and other collaborators in the middle.
  • The articles are limited to 6 double-column pages.
  • The text should indicate, by a footnote on the first page, whether the work relates to a M.Sc. dissertation or a Ph.D. thesis.
  • Awards, patents, publications or possible distinctions achieved as a result of the M.Sc. dissertation or the Ph.D. thesis should be listed in the last section of the paper.

Papers should be submitted through the CMT system together with their respective M.Sc. dissertation or Ph.D. thesis in PDF file format. Accepted works must submit a camera-ready paper and a 15 minutes slide presentation in PDF file format. Authors are not required to use the same presentation during the oral session, it will be used as a backup plan. Posters are to be printed in A1 format, portrait orientation.

Submission checklist:

  • SUBMISSION: 6 double-column pages article, M.Sc. dissertation or the Ph.D. thesis in PDF file format.
  • ACCEPTED WORKS: camera-ready paper, 15 minutes slide presentation in PDF file format.

Presentation guidelines:

  • ACCEPTED WORKS must be presented in the poster session (A1 format, portrait orientation).
  • SELECTED WORKS must be presented in the oral session (15 minutes presentation)
