UK Electronics Forum 2011

Overview

The two principal forums for UK PhD presentations, the UK Asynchronous Forum and the UK Embedded Forum, have been combined into one larger event, with a widening of the scope. The event will now cover pretty much all aspects of electronics and computer science. The aim is to bring together those involved in all aspects of electronics research, to provide means for quick publication of work in progress, and acquire valuable feedback from referees and others. As a PhD student, you may have explained your work to like-minded peers - but for a communications engineer to explain their work to a computer scientist, for example, represents a different set of challenges.

Benefits

Benefits of attendance include:

Ideal opportunity to practise presentation skills
Keep up to date with what's going on in other Universities
Make contacts with other researchers in your - and other - areas
Informal atmosphere
Low conference fee

Proceedings

Workshop proceedings will be printed for distribution at the venue. Papers must be original work, and not under consideration elsewhere.

Submission and deadlines

All papers are refereed by the programme committee. There is a size limit of 10 pages per submission. Presentation format is 20 minutes, plus 5 minutes for questions and discussions. Authors are required to submit a pdf file electronically; please e-mail to albert.koelmans@ncl.ac.uk, no later than April 16th 2010. Authors will be informed of the program committee's final decision by April 23rd. The final version of the paper is due on May 28th. As a result of the review process, authors may be asked to present a poster instead of giving a presentation.

Location and accommodation

The workshop is held at the University of Manchester. Full details of the local arrangements can be found on Manchester University's website.

Registration

The registration deadline is Friday, 10th June. After this date, accomodation can no longer be guaranteed. Please print the registration form and mail this to the conference secretatriat.
