Overview

SASO Posters provide an excellent forum for authors to present their  
work in an informal and interactive setting. Posters are ideal to  
showcase speculative, late-breaking results or to introduce  
interesting, innovative work. Posters sessions are highly interactive.  
They allow authors and interested participants to connect to each  
other and to engage in discussions about the work presented. Posters  
provide authors with a unique opportunity to draw attention to their  
work during the conference.

Posters cover the same interest areas as the Research Papers.  
Specifically, submissions in the following key theme areas are  
encouraged:

- Self-organization
- Self-adaptation
- Other self-* properties (self-management, self-monitoring, self- 
tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.)
- Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems
- Management and control of self-* systems
- Robustness and dependability of self-* systems
- Approaches to engineering self-* systems
- Control of emergent properties in self-* systems
- Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems
- Applications and experiences with self-* systems



Poster Content

Posters will be evaluated both on their contributions and on how  
effectively they communicate those contributions. All posters should  
include the following information:

-  The purpose and the goals of the work.

-  Any background and motivation information needed to understand the  
work as well as any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie  
the work, if appropriate.

-  A summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail  
for a viewer to understand the work and/or results; especially key  
details, results and contributions, or the anticipated contributions  
if the work is at an early stage.

-  The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate.  
Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out relationships to  
work represented by other accepted posters.

-  Where to find additional information. This should include but is  
not restricted to:
   * a web site where viewers can go to find additional information  
about the work
   * how to contact the authors, including email addresses
   * citations for any papers, books, or other materials that provide  
additional information



Poster layout guidelines:

The presentation guide drawn up by IEEE and ACM for the Student  
Research Competition contains a lot of very useful information on how  
to produce a successful poster. In particular: "A picture is worth a  
thousand words." Guide viewers to the main issues and help them to  
understand the work quickly in order to attract more attention to your  
work. Few attendees will stop to read a large poster with dense text.  
If you use screen shots, please ensure that the shots print legibly  
and that the fonts are large enough to be read comfortably.

Submission Process

Electronic submission of posters is required through the SASO  
submission system. An extended, two-pages abstract is to be submitted  
initially for evaluation and selection.

Accepted Posters

If selected, we would require you to finally submit the poster or the  
preliminary graphic layout as well as the camera ready version of the  
extended abstract taking into account comments by the poster selection  
committee following the IEEE format for conference (see SASO’09 web  
site).

Attendance
At least one of the poster authors is required to register at the  
conference and required to attend the scheduled interactive poster  
session, staying with the poster so that to discuss the 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. Posters are advertised in the Final Program, and authors'  
two-page extended abstracts will appear in the SASO 2009 Conference  
Proceedings, which will be distributed at SASO 2009. Attendees will be  
able to learn more about individual posters continuously during the  
whole of the conference.

For additional information, clarification, or questions, please
