Preface
It is our pleasure to present you the proceedings of PhD Symposium held in con-
junction with ICTERI 2017, the thirteenth edition of the International Confer-
ence on Information and Communication Technologies in Education, Research,
and Industrial Applications: Integration, Harmonization, and Knowledge Trans-
fer. The symposium took place in Kyiv (Ukraine) on May 16-17, 2017. This
volume thematically follows the scope of ICTERI and is focused on research ad-
vances, information systems technologies and applications, business/academic
applications of Information and Communication Technologies, the role of ICT
in Education. These aspects of ICT research, development, technology transfer,
and use in real world cases are vibrant for both the academic and industrial
communities. Therefore, giving the floor to young researchers from academia
and industry working toward receiving their PhD was considered a plausible
extension for ICTERI 2017.
     The Call for Papers of this PhD Symposium was aligned with the thematic
scope of ICTERI. It also emphasized that the contributions are sought in the
form of extended abstracts explaining and justifying the ideas for PhD projects
or short papers presenting the first obtained results. The authors were en-
couraged to present the results of their research to prove that their ideas are
tractable.
     Young researchers joined the Symposium to take part in discussions and/or
present their papers. They were offered an opportunity to exchange and discuss
their research ideas with their peers, supervisors, and senior scientists working in
the fields within the scope of ICTERI 2017. The PhD Mentors Panel which took
place in frame of the symposium provided the opportunity for PhD candidates
to listen to and discuss the visionary ideas and promising topics for PhD research
offered by several renowned experts.
     Overall the PhD Symposium attracted 14 submissions. Out of these, we
have accepted 10 high quality and most interesting papers to be presented at
the symposium and published in our proceedings.
     The PhD Symposium would not have been possible without the support of
many people. First of all, we would like to thank all the authors who submitted
papers and thus demonstrated their interest in the research problems within
our scope. We are very grateful to the members of our Program Committee
for providing timely and thorough reviews. We would like to thank the local
organizers of the conference whose devotion and efficiency made our event a
very interesting and effective scientific forum.
