Special Ph.D. session
This special session aims to bring together PhD and Master's students involved in the design, development, and evaluation of systems, platforms, and architectures for smart city applications and services. It provides them with the opportunity to present and discuss their research in front of peers and experienced professors in a helpful environment. Short papers are encouraged, presenting preliminary results or ongoing work, limited to MSc or PhD research, within the scope of the DiCES-N workshop.
Each paper must be formatted according to Springer's CCIS format and must be at most 8 pages long. Accepted papers presented at the special session will be included in the DiCES-N 2025 workshop proceedings, which will be published by Springer as part of the CCIS series. A selection of highly rated short papers will be exempt from registration fees.
