Guidelines for Full and Short papers

In order for your work to receive the widest possible audience as well as obtain one-on-one feedback, each presenting author of a long OR short paper will have an opportunity to present their paper orally in one of the five plenary paper sessions AND present a poster of their work in one of the afternoon poster sessions on Thursday and Friday.

Guidelines for ORAL Presentations (Long AND Short papers)

  • Full paper presentations are allotted 15 minutes (including everything). Please prepare for a 12 minute presentation (including setup time) + 3 minutes for questions.
  • Short papers are allotted 10 minutes (including everything). Please prepare for a 8 minute presentation (including setup time) + 2 minutes for questions.
  • Your talk should summarize your paper - not replace it. Try to convey the main idea and key results instead of reproducing every detail (people can get details from the paper and ask you questions at the poster session).
  • Slides must be legible from the back of a large room. Typeface size on slides should be at least 24 points, or 20 points in exceptional cases.
    Use visuals and diagrams. Avoid excessive text and complete sentences.
  • Use examples. Concrete examples are easier to grasp than abstract statements.
  • Repeat each question so that everyone hears it, the questioner verifies that you understood it, and you get time to prepare your answer.

Guidelines for POSTER Presentations (Long AND Short papers)

  • Please identify your assigned poster session (either on Thursday or Friday) from the online program.
  • The poster boards are square, 4 x 4 feet (48 x 48 inches or 122 x 122 cm), so please size your posters accordingly.
  • Posters must be visible from at least 6 feet away, so please use large typefaces (minimum of 32 points).
  • Avoid overly "texty" posters. Use visuals and diagrams. Remember that the poster should convey the main ideas of your paper (not replace the paper).

Guidelines for Extended Abstract Posters; Regular Posters; Late Breaking Results Posters; and Doctoral Consortium Posters

  • Your poster is scheduled for the opening reception on Wednesday evening.
  • The poster boards are square, 4 x 4 feet (48 x 48 inches or 122 x 122 cm), so please size your posters accordingly.
  • Posters must be visible from at least 6 feet away, so please use large typefaces (minimum of 32 points).
  • Avoid overly "texty" posters. Use visuals and diagrams. Remember that the poster should convey the main ideas of your paper (not replace the paper)
