Extended abstracts are invited for ANTS 2016 PhD forum in the broad areas of wireline networks, wireless networks, and network applications. Authors must submit a 1-2 page manuscript using EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=22174) on or before 17 July  2016.

The abstract should describe the main motivation and results in sufficient detail to allow the reviewers to assess the potential contribution of the work. The abstracts should be authored by active PhD Students only and should be at most two pages long in a two-column format. A set of 5-7 keywords should accompany the abstract.  A template in Latex can be found at phd-forum2016template

Abstracts 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 Xplore and will not be archived. Submitted abstracts could be a published work, a work under review or an ongoing work.  If selected, the authors must present their work at the conference.

The PhD forum provides an opportunity for research students to showcase their work before experts from academia and industry, and to have detailed discussions with them. Submission of ‘work-in-progress’ would allow the students to get feedback from the TPC as well as from the conference attendees. The forum also encourages the students to hold live and/or interactive demonstrations as part of their presentations.
