Works in progress: the 2nd International Middleware Doctoral Symposium

Following the successful symposium at Middleware 2004, the 2nd International Middleware Doctoral Symposium took place at Middleware 2005. The symposium is a forum for an invited group of doctoral students; the students get to present their work, obtain guidance from mentors, and meet with their peers. The mentors are senior university or industry researchers, including many current or former members of the Middleware program committee. The symposium aims to give students constructive criticism before their thesis defense and foster discussions related to future career perspectives.
