SPLASH 2013
Sat 26 - Thu 31 October 2013 Indianapolis, United States

The poster session provides an excellent forum for authors to present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive feedback from the community.

Call for contributions

Authors of all papers accepted to SPLASH 2013 are invited to participate in the Poster Session by emailing the title of the poster, name of the conference which accepted it and a list of authors and affiliations to posters@splashcon.org.

The poster session provides an excellent forum for authors to present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any aspect of programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of the poster session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact. It is held early in the conference, to promote continued discussion among interested parties. Posters can be independent presentations or associated with one of the other parts of SPLASH.

Submission Summary
Due on: September 24, 2013
Format: Now inviting all accepted papers
Contact: Emina Torlak and K. R. Jayaram (chair)

The ACM International Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN.

SPLASH is the home of OOPSLA Research Papers, Onward!, and the Dynamic Languages Symposium, among other events.

Scope

We invite submissions that:

  1. present early work that is not yet ready for submission to a refereed conference or journal
  2. identify new research problems, preferably with empirical evidence
  3. showcase open-source tools and technologies developed by the author(s)
  4. describe student research projects, especially Masters/PhD dissertation proposals. We encourage students to participate in the ACM Student Research Competition and PhD students to participate in the Doctoral Symposium.
  5. summarize a technical paper that has been accepted (or “potentially accepted” pending revisions) to OOPSLA, Onward! or Wavefront 2013. This provides authors of accepted technical papers with opportunities to increase the visibility of their papers and to engage in more personal one-on-one discussions.

Submissions

**Update 7th September 2013. We are inviting authors of accepted technical papers to present a poster — we hope that this will provide authors an opportunity to increase the visibility of their papers and engage in more one-on-one discussions.

To confirm your participation, you only have to send us an email at posters@splashcon.org with the title of your accepted paper, list of authors and the conference where it was accepted before 5pm PDT on September 24. You have time until the conference to get your actual poster ready.**

Posters will be evaluated both on their contributions and on how effectively they communicate those contributions. All poster proposals, except those describing technical papers accepted to OOPSLA, Onward! or Wavefront 2013 should submit a .zip or .tar.gz file that contains the following two files in PDF format:

  1. A 2-page extended abstract, in the ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings format with 10pt font, suitable for inclusion in the SPLASH 2013 Conference Companion. (pdf format)
  2. The poster itself in pdf format. The maximum dimensions of the poster can be A0 size. These are the maximum dimensions, feel free to make the poster smaller.

If your technical paper is accepted to OOPSLA, Onward! or Wavefront 2013, you need not submit the 2-page extended abstract. Just submit the poster.

If your paper was “potentially accepted” to OOPSLA, Onward! or Wavefront 2013, please submit both the extended abstract and the poster. If your poster is selected and paper is rejected, we will publish the extended abstract in the SPLASH 2013 Conference Companion.

The extended abstract can have a maximum length of 2 pages. If you need to submit supplementary material, please either post it on the web as a technical report or include a separate pdf file inside the zip or tar.gz file that you are submitting. Please note that supplementary material is reviewed at the discretion of the program committee.

Poster authors are required to attend the scheduled interactive poster session, staying with their poster so that they can discuss their work with conference attendees. Poster authors may post an informal schedule along with their poster, listing times when they plan to be available for discussion later on during the conference. Sign-up sheets allow interested viewers to obtain further information. All posters will have an associated message board, on which viewers can post comments, ideas, and questions and on which poster authors will be able to post responses.
