Student Exchange Program

Student Exchange Program Motivation The proposed joint research item is wide research, including ubiquitous computing as well as manufacturing. Therefore, for the study, various domain knowledge might be needed. To carry out the joint research item, studying during short term and exchanging e-mail is not enough. For the joint research like joint workshops and seminars, long cooperation between laboratories is required. Goal Carrying out a long term or short term joint research by PhD candidates Publishing the result in an international journal Implementing the result as a prototype system © POSTECH Center for Ubiquitous Manufacturing

Student Exchange Program & Thesis Types of programs Short term exchange program : During the vacation (2 month), sending PhD candidate to the other laboratory for a joint research Long tern exchange program : During the semester (6 month), sending PhD candidate to the other laboratory for a joint research Methods Short term program : Each of PhD candidates introduces research areas of the each laboratory. After that, they draw a common subject and carry out preliminary research on the topic. Long term program : Joint research team choose one subject among joint research items and carry out the studies of the topic. Based on the result, the team publish a paper in an international journal or implement a prototype system. Deliverables Short term program : Preliminary report of joint research Long term program : Paper (International Journal) or prototype system Thesis evaluation Committee © POSTECH Center for Ubiquitous Manufacturing
