The 9th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge
Representation and Reasoning (KR2004) invites PhD students
to apply for the Doctoral Consortium program. The aims of
the consortium are:

     ·    to provide a forum for students to present their
       current research,
     ·    to promote contacts among PhD students working in
       similar areas;
·    to support students with information and advice on
academic, research and industrial careers;

The Doctoral Consortium is a student mentoring program that
will introduce students to senior researchers with similar
interests. A poster session will be held in parallel with a
poster session for the Doctor Program of the 14th
International Conference on Automated
Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS04). Students accepted into
the Doctoral Consortium will receive a scholarship that
covers conference registration and part of their travel
expenses.

We encourage submissions from PhD students at any level, and
from any topic area within Knowledge Representation and
Reasoning. Applicants should submit an extended abstract of
5 pages maximum by e-mail to KR2004DC-IuPLbuXCSHYUDHEN6EJeQA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
The
submission should be in AAAI style format and sent either as
a PostScript or as a PDF file. It should describe original,
unpublished work, completed or in progress, that is part of
the doctoral work of the student. If an extended version of
the paper is also submitted to the KR2004 technical program,
or to another conference, please indicate this in the
submission. In addition, the dissertation advisor should
send a letter of recommendation by e-mail to
KR2004DC-IuPLbuXCSHYUDHEN6EJeQA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It should include the expected 
date
for thesis submission, and the motivation/expected benefit
for the student from attending the Doctoral Consortium.
