 t-book-of-abstracts-2.pdf\n\n \n\n \n\nThe School of Engineering of EPFL
  is pleased to announce the 2nd annual PhD Summit\, a workshop for final y
 ear PhD students interested in a career in academia. We invite to campus\,
  on a competitive basis\, a group of exceptional graduating PhD students f
 rom institutions worldwide.\nSelected candidates will be invited to the EP
 FL campus in Switzerland to present their research and get informal feedba
 ck from top faculty of the School of Engineering. Each accepted student wi
 ll be given the opportunity to visit EPFL laboratories related to the summ
 it theme and have intensive exchange with the lab heads and the students.\
 nThe PhD Summit prize for the best presentation and research content will 
 be awarded during the workshop.\nFunds for travel and accommodation will b
 e provided for the selected candidates.\nThe Engineering PhD Summit is org
 anised by the School of Engineering\, with the support of the School of Co
 mputer and Communication Sciences\, the School of Life Sciences and the Sc
 hool of Basic Sciences.\n\n\nIntelligent systems — software and/or hardw
 are systems that can interact with their dynamic environments\, process da
 ta\, perform proper actions\, and improve over time — are becoming ubiq
 uitous. Advancements in information technology\, artificial intelligence a
 nd control\, computing capabilities\, instrumentation\, sensors and actuat
 ors have dramatically increased the pace at which intelligent systems ente
 r our daily lives\, e.g. in our software\, smartphones\, cars\, robots\, a
 nd infrastructure.\nIntelligent systems involve exciting scientific and en
 gineering questions: How can we push the technological limits to make inte
 lligent systems more robust\, more useful\, more intuitive\, better at imp
 roving and possibly repairing themselves? How can we approach the adaptiv
 e behavior exhibited in nature?\nThe Annual PhD Summit of the School of E
 ngineering at EPFL will cover the theory\, design\, and applications of 
 intelligent systems with an interdisciplinary perspective. Last year Ph.D
 . students working in fields such as robotics\, embedded systems\, interne
 t of things\, artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, computer games\
 , human-computer interfaces\, computational neuroscience\, and cognitive s
 cience\, with novel research contributions that fit into the general theme
  of Intelligent Systems are eligible to apply to the summit.\n\n
