7th Doctoral Symposium in Informatics Engineering (DSIE'12) : Proceedings

2012 Doctoral Symposium in Informatics Engineering - DSIE'12 is an event representing the 7th edition of a scientific meeting usually organized by PhD students of the FEUP Doctoral Program in Informatics Engineering (ProDEI). However, the current edition is organized with PhD students from MAPi Informatics Doctoral Program. This fact brought up expectations on both quantity and quality increase of the submitted papers. This kind of meetings have been held since the school year 2005/06 and the main goal has always been to provide a forum for discussion on, and demonstration of, the practical application of a variety of scientic research issues, particularly in the context of information technology, computer science and computer engineering. DSIE
symposium comes out as a natural conclusion of mandatory ProDEI and, this year, MAPi courses called, respectively, "Methodologies for Scientic Research" MSR) and "Seminar", leading to a formal evaluation of the students learned competencies.
