Doctoral Consortium:

The PPIG Workshop will again host a doctoral consortium. The event is for research students at all stages of doctoral study and will include the opportunity for students to present their work, as well as interactive sessions on the process and nature of Ph.D. research. Experienced researchers, in addition to the organisers, will participate as discussants to add different perspectives and to provide feedback on individual research programmes.

Doctoral Consortium submissions should be 5 pages or fewer and be submitted by email to y.jing@londonmet.ac.uk with the title 'PPIG2012 doctoral consortium submission' in .pdf format.  

PPIG is able to offer financial support to PhD studentsattending the workshop, to assist with the cost of travel and registration. For further details please contact Maria Kutar – m.kutar@salford.ac.uk

The annual PPIG (Psychology of Programming Interest Group) workshop is a forum in which researchers concerned with psychological aspects of software development can present and discuss recent results, findings and developments. Despite its name, PPIG entertains a broad spectrum of research approaches, from theoretical perspectives drawing on psychological theory to empirical perspectives grounded in real-world experience, and is equally concerned with all aspects of programming and software engineering, from the design of programming languages to communication issues in software teams, and from computing education to high-performance professional practice. PPIG aims to bring together people working in a variety of disciplines and to break down cross-disciplinary barriers.

Please note: Sponsored PhD research students and invited guest speakers (approved by Maria Kutar) can register here.
