We are looking for researchers who have (or will have) defended their PhD between 1 January 2003 and 30 April 2006. This forum is intended to expose the work of young researchers to established researchers in the broader software maintenance and evolution community; additionally, the forum will provide an opportunity for young researchers to meet and interact with each other.
