Poster Session AnnouncementStudent
Poster Session AnnouncementThis year, PLDI 2003 will sponsor a session aimed at showcasing the “work-in-progress” of students attending the conference. The goal of the poster session is to present students' current research and provide an opportunity for informal discussion of the work with the students and industry panel members at the conference venue. Topics of interest are the same as for PLDI'03. The poster seesion is being jointly held with FCRC'03 on June 9 (Monday) evening and June 11 (Wednesday) evening around 5:30pm or 6:00pm. Precise time and place of the activity will be announced later.
The author(s) of the poster have to be students (but you may want to acknowledge your advisor). Posters will be reviewed by a committee of students and faculty. Poster proposals should be e-mailed to Ron Cytron by May 15, 2003. Authors will be notified by May 20 2003. Note that there will be no extensions will be granted. At the conference, posters must be presented by a student. Posters of unpublished work are encouraged; posters should not be submitted for work that is already scheduled for presenation in any other of the FCRC'03 venues.
Why should you submit a poster?
This is a great chance for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on on-going research from both knowledgeable industry panel members and a knowledgeable crowd at the FCRC'03. Furthermore, student authors of accepted posters will be given some preference for the possible student support for travel by SIGPLAN PAC.
What is a poster?
A poster is a 30" x 40" rectangular board that FCRC provides, and on which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. How you use this is up to you: you may choose to print out several 8.5"x11" or A4 sheets of paper (e.g., paper copies of overheads) and "tile" the poster board with these pages. Or, you may choose to print a single large sheet of paper describing the work and attach that to the poster board. Several document companies like Kinko's produce professional-looking posters from material produced on software like Powerpoint; you may want to use such a facility. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work.
