Poster Content Guidelines

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

• The purpose and goals of the work.
• Any background and motivation information needed to understand the work. Please also describe any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the work, if appropriate.
• A summary of the technical contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail for a viewer to understand the work and/or results. Be sure to summarize and highlight the key details, results and contributions, or the anticipated contributions if the work is at an early stage. Please remember that a picture is worth a thousand words. If you can express your contributions effectively visually, it will help viewers to understand the work quickly and will 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.
• The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate. Please note that 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
  • Information about how to reach the contact author (including an email address)
  • Citations for any papers, books, or other materials that provide additional information
  • Information about other OOPSLA activities that present aspects of the work, including technical papers, tutorials, PhD symposium presentations, and demonstrations
