The Student Forum will taking place on the Sunday preceding the conference to allow students to meet other students before the main conference begins. As in previous years, the Student Forum will be an interactive format that allows students to interact brainstorm innovative ways that AOSD research interests intersect. Students will also have the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of domain experts both in a panel and small group settings.
The Forum events are scheduled for the Sunday 20th of March, immediately before the AOSD conference and the preliminary schedule for the Student Forum is as follows:
9:30 - 10:00am meet and greet
10:00 - noon
Workshop to identify viable areas of research within AOSD.
Given the move to a more inclusive program of modularity, the forum will consider the evolution of AOSD research and have students identify areas of research that are inline with the new directions of this community. Students will identify viable research strategies and key research questions related to these AOSD research topics.
1:30 - 3:30pm
Panel of experts
Each panelist will provide a basic overview of their existing research and specifically how it fits with the new directions of AOSD research and how it differs from from their first work in the area of AOSD. Results from the morning session will form the basis for the questions to the panel to elicit expert feedback student perspectives.
3:45 - 5:45pm
Group work & presentations
Based on the results of the previous two sessions, students will be grouped and will work together on poster paper to outline a possible new research project.
6:00pm
