Proposals should describe substantial and original work. All proposals should include conclusions and references to important sources. Abstracts of 1500-2000 words should be submitted for presentations of thirty minutes including questions. The panel organizer should submit an abstract of 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. By definition, poster presentations are less formal and more interactive than a standard talk.
Posters are actually several large pieces of paper that present an overview of a topic or a problem.
Poster presenters are given space to display two or three posters, and may provide handouts with examples or more detailed information. Poster presenters must be present at their posters at a specific time during the conference to describe their work and answer questions, but posters will remain up throughout the conference. Specific times will also be assigned for software or project demonstrations. Further information on poster presentations is available from the Program Committee chair. Proposals for software or project demonstrations should indic ate the type of hardware that would be required if the proposal is accepted.
