IIRW 2007 AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTERS

 

YOUR FINAL MANUSCRIPT AND SIGNED IEEE COPYRIGHT FORM ARE DUE AT THE WORKSHOP

 

 

POSTER SESSION

 

The poster session of the IIRW 2007 will showcase two types of posters:

 

1.    Refereed Posters will be selected from submitted abstracts in August and the authors will be notified.  A display board is automatically reserved for you.  You are invited to submit a four-page (maximum) manuscript of your poster presentation for inclusion in the 2007 IRW Final Report (see Milestones below for due date).  This is a great opportunity for you to share your work with your peers.

 

2.    Walk-in posters provide a forum for walk-in poster authors notified and all other attendees to communicate and discuss their ideas and newest results on technical projects or issues. Please indicate your intention to bring a poster in the space provided on the registration form or/and by sending an e-mail to the Poster Session Chair.  A display board will be reserved for you. 

 

We encourage presentation of your latest ideas and newest results on technical projects or issues by accepting your walk-in poster upon your arrival at the workshop (track down the Poster Sessions Chair). However to facilitate planning, if possible, please indicate your intention to bring a poster in the space provided on the registration form or/and sending an e-mail to the Poster Sessions Chair by 10/10/07.

 

Note: All posters and poster manuscripts must comply with the guidelines below:

 

Poster Preparation:

• If you are presenting a Refereed or Open poster, a display board will be reserved for you. The display board area is 32" × 40" or 81 cm × 100 cm. Your work should be in landscape format on 8½ × 11" or A4 paper with a maximum of 12 pages.

• Your poster presentation must be self-explanatory and presented in such a way that other attendees, standing one to two meters from your poster, can clearly read and grasp the significance of your work and its central message in a few minutes.  Those attendees that are particularly interested will speak with you to develop further understanding

 

Mechanics

• Your text should be 24 points or larger.  Headings should be 44 points or larger.
• Tables should be used sparingly and kept as simple as possible.  Data are almost always more efficiently displayed graphically.
• A descriptive title should appear at the bottom of all graphs and tables.
• The use of color can be extremely effective in both making your poster stand out and in emphasizing your presentation’s most important points.  It is usually best to use just a few colors and is always best to be consistent in their use.
• It is nearly always helpful to sequentially number your paper’s figures, tables and equations.  It may also be helpful to guide the reader’s eye by sequentially numbering your poster’s text panels.

 

Technical/Scientific Organization

• It is important that those reading your poster understand the motivation of your work and follow your arguments.  You may (or may choose not to) begin your poster with an outline.  Whether you begin with an outline or not, the following sequence is usually effective:
• Concisely define the problem you have addressed.  What motivated you to conduct this work?  Why is it important for the reader to learn what you have to say?
• Provide the readers with a concise review of the most pertinent background literature.  (Put your work in context.)
• Present the main body of your study, you measurements, your calculations, etc.
• Summarize your most important findings.
• State your conclusion(s).
• Make the appropriate acknowledgements.
• It may be useful to provide interested readers with a pre-print of your IRW paper.
• Do not include Logos or names of your employer or university on any of the panels, except for the title chart.
