For those of you who may have missed the deadline for submission of papers to the ACM/SIGIR Conference in Seattle - you still have time to submit a poster. Details follow! ************************ CALL FOR POSTERS SIGIR'95 ************************ 18th International Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval The Sheraton, Seattle, WA, USA July 9 - July 13, 1995 POSTERS SIGIR '95 will include poster presentations to enable researchers an opportunity to present late-breaking results, significant work in progress, or research that is best communicated in conversational mode. Poster presenters will have the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees and to discuss their work in detail with those most deeply interested in the same topic. Posters will be reviewed by appropriate subject specialists as well as the Program Committee and will be selected on the basis of their contribution to research-focused discussion. Posters will be accepted a full month later than papers in order to provide an opportunity for submitting very current work that need not be written up in a full paper. Abstracts of posters will appear in the conference proceedings. Authors will be expected to be present at their posters to describe their work and answer questions on Monday, July 10, from 5: pm to 10:00 pm. Doctoral students are encouraged to consider poster submission as a viable means for discussing ongoing dissertation research. Submissions shall be made to the Posters Chair and shall consist of: (a) Abstract shall be submitted in three copies. (b) An extended abstract of approximately three to four pages. (c) Abstract shall emphasize the research problem, the approach or methodology being used, and why the work is important. (d) A separate cover page with the title of the poster, the name and affiliation of the author(s)/presenter(s), as well as complete contact information to include postal address, email address, phone number and fax number of the author(s).
