Mentoring Sessions
To better serve the student community, COMSNETS 2017 will host Mentoring Sessions that give students an opportunity to interact one-on-one with eminent researchers in the field of communication systems and networks. This new element of the COMSNETS program enables the students to get feedback on their current research results and future research plans. All graduate-student attendees of COMSNETS 2017, i.e., students enrolled in a doctoral or Master’s program, are encouraged to apply.
Mentors
Eminent researchers in the field of communication systems and networks will be participating in these sessions. Students get to interact one-on-one with Keynote speakers, Invited Speakers, senior Organizing Committee members etc.

Mentoring Process
Each student gets 40 minutes for a one-on-one session with the assigned mentor. The initial 15 minutes of the slot are designated for the student to explain the research results and plans to the mentor. While the research topic is expected to be in broad areas related to computer networking, the maturity level of the research work is flexible, from a nascent research idea to fully mature results. For good clarity of explanation, the student is encouraged to present the work with PowerPoint slides (you will have to carry your own device to show the slides).
The remaining 25 minutes of the slot are intended for a discussion with the mentor. The mentor uses the discussion period to give candid constructive feedback on the student’s current research and suggest improvements for future work.
Registration
A main-conference registration (either regular or student) is required to participate in the mentoring sessions. In case you have registered for any of the workshops and wish to participate, please write to [email protected].
Application Process
To apply, fill out the Google form before the deadline: https://goo.gl/forms/F7iWMzl49VWdoBap1
The form captures your name, enrolled degree program, degree-granting institution, short description of your research interests with the focus on the research topic discussed during the mentoring session, and any specific type of feedback you are interested to receive from the mentor.
