Poster Presentations

Attendees of TTVSI are invited to submit abstracts for posters, describing research related to the theme of the conference. The abstracts will be reviewed and accepted abstracts will appear in the proceedings of TTVSI.

Poster submissions should be 1 page in length, using LaTeX2e and the LNCS style file. The submission should be an extended abstract summarizing the poster contents. The deadline for submitting poster abstracts is 15 February 2008; instructions on poster preparation will be sent to authors of accepted abstracts by 22 February 2008.

Please email poster abstract submissions to submission email address

Poster authors are responsible for printing their poster and bringing it to the Royal Society. The poster boards are 2 metres high and 0.6 metres wide. Posters should be put up as early as possible on the scheduled day of the poster talk (see the Meeting Program below). Poster authors will have a 2 minute talk slot to advertize their poster, followed by a tea break where they are expected to be next to their poster to answer questions about it.
