The ACDC provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present their research and early results and receive advice and constructive commentary from research experts. Submissions are invited from current PhD students in computing who would benefit from feedback on their research by a panel of established researchers. The consortium will operate in a workshop format. Up to ten applicants will be invited to present their work during ACDC 2013, and experts will be invited to attend the presentations and discuss each student's work. These selected applicants will receive complimentary ACSW 2013 student conference registration (if they are not presenting a paper in the other conferences), although ACDC will not be able to provide travel or accommodation costs. Finally, PhD students who wish to attend, but have not submitted a paper, are welcome --- however, be sure to notify the organisers well in advanced since numbers are limited.
