CALL FOR POSTERS
Third IEEE International Conference on
Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2009)
San Francisco, September 14-18, 2009
http://radlab.cs.berkeley.edu/saso2009/
http://www.saso-conference.org/
Important Dates
- Deadline for submissions: April 30, 2009
- Notification of acceptance or rejection: May 28, 2009
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.
