GUIDELINES FOR POSTERS
AND BREAKOUT TALKS

Posters and breakout talks should be about research and/or education projects that involve one or more of:

• High Performance Computing
• High Performance Networking
• Computational Science & Engineering (including computational research in every field of engineering, physical science, bioscience, mathematics, social science, humanities, business and the arts)
• Grid Computing
• Scientific Visualization
• Data Mining
• Other relevant topic areas

Each poster or breakout talk should focus, at least in part, on these aspects of the project. Ideally, if possible, it should be easily understood by a person who is reasonably sophisticated about science, engineering and/or mathematics, somewhat knowledgeable about computing, but largely ignorant about the poster topic (and even the discipline).

GUIDELINES FOR POSTERS

Each poster should be at most 4 feet wide by 3 feet high. The poster can be either a single large piece of paper, or multiple pieces of paper (e.g., printed PowerPoint slides). We will provide bulletin board space, and also plenty of pushpins.

GUIDELINES FOR BREAKOUT TALKS

Breakout talks should be approximately 25 minutes long, with approximately 5 minutes for questions. Each breakout session will be followed by a 5 minute interval for attendees to change rooms.

Presentation technologies such as PowerPoint or PDF are encouraged. LCD/DLP projectors will be provided. Laptops can be provided if necessary, but speakers are encouraged to bring their own.

An overhead projector can be provided on request, but please alert us by no later than Monday October 1.

Please also e-mail a copy of your slides to hneeman@ou.edu.
