Call for Participation

The Postgraduate Research Symposium is a biannual event organized by the Department of Computer Science in HKBU. It provides an excellent platform for practicing presentation skills and sharing ideas among research candidates. Following the successful launch in 2005, the 7th Symposium will be held on January 10, 2008. The main program contains sessions of presentations from our PhD and MPhil students, covering the following research topics but not limited to:

  • Pattern Recognition
  • Computer Vision
  • Web Intelligence
  • Machine Learning
  • Data Mining
  • Mobile Positioning Systems
  • Wireless Data Broadcast
  • Sensor Data Management

The one day program consists of sessions covering a range of scopes of the computer science. All PhD and MPhil candidates* are requested to participate and present his/her research results. Every participant should prepare a paper of 4-8 pages on his/her research progress, which is to be archived as the proceedings of the PG Day. As regards the presentation, each participant has 30minutes including Q & A and his/her performance will be evaluated by the members of the corresponding thesis committee. We also have a best paper award and a best presentation award, assessed by all attendees, for excellent performance candidates. Faculty members are also invited to attend the sessions relevant to their research areas or their panel duties.

Please note the important dates. Should you have any enquiries, please contact us at pgday@comp.hkbu.edu.hk.
