The SIG should create and maintain its own web page to provide all information about

An SIG should
encourage doctoral
students
interested in their SIG to
participate the Doctoral Student Program of ICCE. And they should support and
give suggestions to the organizers of the Doctoral Student Program how to best
benefit these students. |
