We invite applications from PhD students at any stage of their doctoral 
studies on
Organic Computing, Autonomic Computing, intelligent systems, 
self-adaptation and
self-organisation, self-aware computing systems, autonomous learning, 
self-* mechanisms,
trustworthy systems, and related research topics.


==* Colloquium Theme *==

The intent of the DDC is to bring together PhD students who have their 
research focus
within the broader Organic Computing community and will not have 
defended their thesis
before June 2021. The main goal of this colloquium is to foster 
excellence in OC-related
research by providing students with feedback and advice that are 
particularly relevant to their
doctoral studies and career development. Each participant will take part 
in the colloquium
organisation and the review process for the other participants. Keynote 
speakers will
present current research in the field. They will be available during the 
OC-DDC and
participate in the feedback process for the PhD students. Details on the 
keynote speakers will be
available as soon as possible (see website).

The schedule includes:
- Prepare an extended abstract or short paper of 6 pages (max.) 
reflecting your PhD
   concept
- Participate in the review process
- Participate in the (supervised) decision process (acceptance of 
submissions)
- Present your work to an audience consisting mainly of other PhD 
students from your
   community
- Identify points of contact between your work and others
- Build your social research network
- Meet experts in your research domain and listen to their invited talks 
and expertise
- Enjoy the opportunity to improve your PhD work, overcome stipulations 
and learn from the experts

PhD students are invited to participate by submitting an extended 
abstract of up to 6 pages
(written in English, in Springer's LNCS style). The colloquium will give 
participants the
opportunity to present their ongoing research in a friendly forum. They 
will obtain valuable
feedback from colloquium attendees in a constructively critical and 
informal atmosphere.

After the OC-DDC, each participant will be invited to prepare a book 
chapter for an edited
book. The book chapter will contain approx. 14 pages.
For instance, the book of the DDC's 2014 edition is available at:
