The BuildSys/SenSys 2020 Joint PhD Forum (Doctoral Colloquium) provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished researchers. The Forum provides an excellent opportunity for Ph.D. students to present their dissertation research, including work in progress, to the wider embedded networked sensor systems community. This meeting offers an opportunity to share experiences with other Ph.D. students and meet with accomplished international researchers and obtain feedback from them. Accepted Ph.D Forum (Doctoral colloquium) abstracts will be included into ACM BuildSys/SenSys Digital Library.

Best PhD Forum Presentation Award: All the presenters will be eligible to compete for a best PhD forum presentation award, provided that your abstract is accepted.

Free Registration: Conference registration is free this year. Please remember to register asap.
