Call for abstracts

The Doctoral Programme in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PDEEC) is offered at FEUP by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC). The programme has close relations with INESC-Porto, ISR-Porto and INEB. Joint programmes also exist between DEEC and MIT, Carnegie-Mellow University and the University of Texas at Austin.

As it happened before, in this 2nd Edition of the Doctoral Congress on Engineering, which will take place at FEUP on 8th and 9th of June 2017, there will be a Symposium on Electrical and Computer Engineering. Since the Programme is multi-disciplinary and gathers several engineering areas, PDEEC invites all students and researchers to submit an abstract within the following areas:

  • Power Electronics
  • Electrical Power Systems
  • Systems and Control
  • Communications and Networks
  • Signal Processing
  • Image Recognition
  • Machine Learning
  • Microelectronics
  • Robotics
  • Operations Research
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Bio-engineering
  • Multimedia
  • Real-Time Systems
  • Other Topics in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Submission Instructions
  • Before all, please check – in the webpage of the Symposium you intend to submit to (check your Symposium webpage in the SYMPOSIA menu) – information regarding the areas of submission/priority topics.
  • Authors should submit abstracts, written in English (2 pages only). Please format your submissions according to this template.

Presentation Guide

Oral Sessions

All oral presentations will be given in a single track at FEUP, room I105

The duration of oral presentations is 20 minutes including 5 minutes for discussions, comments, questions and answers.

The rooms for the parallel sessions (Symposia) are equipped with a computer and a projection system. Slides should be prepared in the aspect ratio of 4:3. Authors have to bring their presentations in a USB pen. Authors who bring the presentations in their laptops must go to the reception – at least 30 min before the beginning of the session – and request support.
