ACM Logo LCTES 2008 Student Research Forum

Deadline: June 5, 2008 (EXTENDED)


The Student Research Forum provides an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students attending LCTES'08 to present and discuss their research at poster sessions. This one hour event will feature concurrent short presentations by student participants organized in poster formats. Each student will be allowed space on an easel for the presentation. LCTES'08 attendees, including non-students, will be able to wander among the posters and talk to the students about their research. Refreshments will be provided.

Posters are an excellent forum for students to present their work in an informal and interactive session, and to present late-breaking and preliminary results. Unlike other technical venues, posters are highly visual and interactive, and they are intended to provide students and participants with the ability to engage in deep technical discussions about their work. Posters provide students with a unique opportunity to make their work highly visible during the conference, and to discuss their work one-on-one with other conference participants. The goal is to develop a poster that encourages small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact, and the poster session will be organized to facilitate such interactions.

Student authors of LCTES papers are encouraged to submit extended results to the poster session. This is a great opportunity to get more exposure and interaction for your work!

One author on a poster is required to pre-register for the conference and to attend the scheduled interactive poster session, staying with their poster so that they can discuss their work with conference attendees. Some poster authors also post an informal schedule along with their poster, listing times when they plan to be available for discussion later on during the conference. Others leave sign-up sheets for interested viewers to obtain further information.

Students who wish to present a poster display of their research must send the following information to Bruce Childers (childers@cs.pitt.edu) by Thursday June 5, 2008 (EXTENDED).

  1. a title and 500 word abstract of their proposed presentation
  2. their email address, phone number and surface mail address
  3. name of their department and school
  4. name of their academic advisor

Each prospective participant also is asked to have a short email note of support of their participation from their faculty research advisor sent to Bruce Childers. Selected participants will be notified by as quickly as possible upon poster submission..
