The poster session is an alternative forum for authors to present the results of their work. Posters cover the same technical areas of interest and reflect the same degree of professionalism as the technical papers, yet differ in the manner in which the material is presented by the authors. There is an interactive session associated with the posters, where all the poster authors attend their posters and conference attendees can discuss the work with the authors.
Posters are particularly appropriate for work that is too preliminary for a paper session.
Posters should provide both visual impact and the ability to stimulate interaction among attendees. For consideration, send three copies of the poster proposal to the Poster Chair. A cover sheet should list the name, affiliation, address, phone and fax numbers, and electronic mail address for all authors. July 18, 1997.
