Student Research Workshop
The PCSC 2024 Student Research Workshop (SRW)
invites students at various stages of their research
to present their work and receive mentorship and
feedback from the research community. This is also
an opportunity to present exciting contributions
that showcase innovative technologies and detail
preliminary experiments that foster discussions to
provoke new ideas to emerge.
Paper Submission
We welcome papers in two different categories:
-
Thesis Proposals. This category is
appropriate for students who have already
decided on a thesis topic and wish to receive
feedback on their proposal and broader ideas for
their ongoing work.
-
Research Papers. This category accepts
work-in-progress, experiments with preliminary
results, and late-breaking work. We encourage
submissions describing experiments with positive
and negative results that can provide relevant
insights to the computing community. The first
author must be a current student.
Submissions in both categories may be archival or
non-archival, based on the decision of the authors.
All archival papers will be published in the PCSC
2024 SRW proceedings. Extended versions of archival
papers and non-archival papers may be submitted to
any venue in the future.
Papers should be up to 4 pages in content with an
unlimited number of pages for references and
supplementary materials. Submissions need not be
anonymized and must follow the
PCSC 2024 template
used in the main conference.
Please submit your paper via this portal:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/PCSC2024, and choose "Student Research Workshop" as the
type of submission.
Paper Review
Papers submitted to SRW will be reviewed through a
Reviewed
process as defined by ACM, and will receive
light feedback from reviewers. Evaluation
criteria would be as follows:
-
Contribution. Does this work present
(potential) research contributions or ideas that
will stimulate interesting conversation among
PCSC attendees?
-
Originality. How does the work build on,
expand, or innovate from existing work in the
area?
-
Validity. How well are the chosen methods
described and justified within the submission?
-
Clarity. How clear, understandable, and
targeted is the writing?
Benefits to Submitting in PCSC SRW
-
Mentorship. SRW provides an opportunity
for students to receive constructive feedback
from the computing research community.
-
Publication Track Record. Should you opt
for an archival publication, your paper can help
your research gain visibility while also
improving your publication record. This is
particularly beneficial when applying for
advanced graduate studies here and abroad.
-
Exploratory Studies. Submissions with
preliminary results can provide insights on why
and in which scenarios a particular method
succeeds or fails, thus helping both the
students and the computing community to work
together in advancing the field.

Post-Presentation Mentorship
CSP offers students the opportunity to receive
mentorship and guidance in preparing their research
papers, should they opt for archival publication.
The goal of the mentorship program is to help
students improve the quality of writing for
publication.
Each paper will be assigned to a mentor who will
review and provide feedback in the form of
guidelines and suggestions to improve the overall
writing. This mentor will not be the same person who
will review the final submission for publication.
