Interactive Posters

Deadlines

  • July 18, 2008: Submissions due
  • August 22, 2008: Notification of acceptance
  • September 5, 2008: Final versions due

CSCW 2008 will include an interactive poster category for late-breaking and preliminary results, smaller results not suitable for a full or short paper, innovative ideas not yet validated through user studies, early student research, and other research best presented in an interactive forum.

Posters will be presented in a special Poster Session where researchers will interact directly with conference attendees. The posters will then remain up throughout the remainder of the conference.

Accepted Interactive Poster abstracts will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at registration. Poster abstracts will not be incorporated into the main CSCW 2008 Conference Proceedings.

Interactive Poster Submission Requirements

Interactive Poster submissions should include an extended abstract no longer than 2 pages, including all figures and references. The submission must be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template. In addition, submissions should also include a separate Tabloid sized draft of the poster for review purposes. A Tabloid is an 11 x 17 inches format.

Interactive poster abstract submissions should be e-mailed to the Interactive Poster Co-Chairs at posters@cscw2008.org. All submissions must be received by the chairs by 11:00pm (23:00) Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on Friday, July 18, 2008. Submissions received after this date/time will not be considered. All submissions will be acknowledged by email.

All questions should be directed to posters@cscw2008.org

Interactive Poster Abstract Authoring Tips

The following tips may help you prepare a successful Poster abstract:

  • State the contribution and originality of your work clearly and explicitly: What is the problem? How does your approach help? Why is it better than other available approaches?
  • Interactive posters abstracts may be chosen based on either the significance of the problem or the originality of your approach.
  • Focus on the contribution of your work rather than the background, including just enough background to make clear how your work differs from significant prior research.
  • " Include the major graphical elements that will likely be used in the poster itself.

For the poster itself, the UIST Poster Example Gallery includes a variety of successful poster designs. More poster guides can be found all over the web.
