I am a very recent Ph.D. student (since October 2014), and the deadline date of the conference in which I want to participate is quite near. I don't want to miss the conference, but as I am so new in my Ph.D. program, I don't have something really concrete for the moment. For this conference, however, it is possible to revise the paper until 15 days before the conference.

Accordingly, I am thinking of submitting my M.Sc. dissertation to the conference. As I think I will have an improved version of my M.Sc. in 3-4 months (at least, I really hope), I suppose that it is worth doing this.

Is it really a bad idea to submit a M.Sc. dissertation to a conference? Are there some ethical issues to consider?
