UKSCC 2016

University of Kent School of Computing Conference

Welcome to the University of Kent School of Computing Conference (UKSCC), a great venue for researchers of the University of Kent to present and discuss their current research.

Submission is mandatory for second year postgraduates students, but we encourage all PhD students in the School of Computing to submit papers related to their research. Authors may present work that has already been published.

Printed copies of the conference proceedings will be handed out to participants and an electronic version will be available at the Templeman Library�s repository.

The conference will take place on the 10th of June at the School of Computing, Canterbury Campus, room SW101 (Brian Spratt Room).
