  The doctoral symposium offers to students a close contact with leading experts on the field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss their ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting. 
  The accepted thesis descriptions will be presented to an interested audience and subject to discussion with a panel of senior researchers, and we expect submissions on any (but not limited to) of this year's RuleML2014 topics.</p>
<p>Students are invited to submit an original description of their work addressing the following aspects:</p>
<ul>
  <li>A clear formulation of the research question.</li>
  <li>An identification of the significant problems in the field of research.</li>
  <li>An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of existing solutions.</li>
  <li>A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far.</li>
  <li>A sketch of the applied research methodology.</li>
  <li>A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem solution.</li>
  <li>A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem.</li>
</ul>
