Student Forum

The Student Forum at DSN provides an opportunity for students currently working in the area of dependable and secure computing to present and discuss their research objectives, approach, and preliminary results.

The Forum offers a place for presentation and discussion of emerging research ideas. The selected student research papers will be presented in the Student Forum sessions, which will be attended by both fellow students and experienced researchers working in the field of dependable and secure computing, encouraging active discussion. Each paper will be allocated a minimum of 20 minutes for presentation and discussion (exact time to be determined by the number of papers selected and time constraints). One of the key goals of the Forum is to provide student presenters with feedback on their preliminary results that might help with their future research directions.

The selected student research papers will be published in the DSN-2015 supplementary volume that will be distributed to the DSN-2015 attendees.
