Moreover, for PhD students there will be the traditional `STUDENT
RESEARCH FORUM'. Student papers (with a checked Student Contribution at
the Submission System) not accepted for a regular track but of sufficient
high quality can be selected for in the Student Research Forum (to be
published in a local proceedings). Their authors will have a nice
opportunity to present their ideas in front of the main SOFSEM audience.
