GUIDELINES
FOR PRESENTERS
Posters and talks
should be about
research and/or education projects
that involve one or more of:
-
High Performance Computing
-
High Throughput Computing
-
High Performance Networking
-
Computational Science & Engineering
(including computational research
in every field of
engineering,
physical science,
bioscience,
mathematics,
medicine,
social science,
humanities,
business and
the arts)
-
Grid/Utility/Cloud Computing
-
Scientific Visualization
-
Data Mining
-
Large Scale Data Collections
-
Cyber-enabled Sensor Networks
-
Cyber-enabled Shared Instruments
-
Cyberinfrastructure Education
-
Other relevant topic areas
Each poster or 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 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 ALL TALKS
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 Wednesday October 1 2008.
Please also e-mail a copy of your slides to
hneeman@ou.edu,
and/or provide it on a memory stick
at the Symposium.
GUIDELINES
FOR PLENARY/KEYNOTE TALKS
Plenary and keynote talks vary between
45 and 60 minutes long,
including questions.
Please check the
agenda page
for details.
Plenary and keynote speakers
are encouraged to cover material
relevant to a mixed audience,
varying from absolute novices to experts,
and to target the middle of this group.
GUIDELINES
FOR BREAKOUT TALKS
Breakout talks should be
approximately 25 minutes long,
plus approximately 5 minutes for questions
(30 minutes total).
Each 30 minute breakout session
will be followed
by a 5 minute interval
for attendees to change rooms.
GUIDELINES
FOR USER PERSPECTIVE TALKS
User perspective talks should be
approximately 12 minutes long,
plus approximately 3 minutes for questions
(15 minutes total).
Content should be
approximately 4 minutes
for each of the following:
-
a general overview of your research topic,
in layman's terms,
and why it's important;
-
a look at the computing aspects
of your problem;
-
how OSCER resources and personnel
helped you accomplish your task,
and what the impact has been on your
careeer.
