Call for Participation – Poster Session

Overview:
The goal of the poster session is to provide an opportunity for an informal discussion of one’s research with conference attendees. Furthermore, it is an excellent way to convey ideas and results not yet developed into a full paper. See here for suggestions on how to propose/create a research poster. Poster topics can be from any technical computing field. The topic does not need to be original work meaning this work may have been presented and/or submitted to another conference or competition.

Poster submissions will be in the form of an abstract of up to 2 pages. You do not need to submit the entire poster. Submissions are open to everyone – students, academicians, researchers, and professionals from the industry (male or female). Posters will be selected based on originality and contributions. Selected individuals will get to present their posters during the poster session to be held on December 15th. The best poster presentation, as judged during the poster session, will be awarded the “best poster award”. Special travel grants (includes travel and accommodation) will be available to selected students.
