Call For Posters And Demos

The SIGCOMM poster/demo sessions showcase works-in-progress in an
informal setting. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the
SIGCOMM conference call for papers. While anyone can submit a poster
/demo, preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary
contribution is from one or more students. The SIGCOMM 2013 Poster
and Demo committee will review all posters and demo proposals. Students
must present student posters at the conference. Authors of accepted
papers in SIGCOMM 2013 may not submit a poster or demo on the same
work in those papers.

ACM Student Research Competition (SRC)

The SIGCOMM poster session will also serve as an ACM student
research competition. Qualified entrants must have current ACM
student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student
status at the time of submission (May 2013), and be the only
student working on the project. While not mandatory, entrants are
encouraged to submit a letter from their advisor describing the
specific contributions made by the student. Undergraduates and
graduate students will be treated in separate divisions (students
starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the
conference will be considered as undergraduates). A small travel
supplement is made available to accepted SRC entrants; please also
submit applications for travel grant support. Winners will advance
to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to
compete against the winners of other ACM conferences. The ACM
SRC program is sponsored by Microsoft Research.

Why Should You Submit A Poster?

Presenting a poster is a great opportunity, especially for students,
to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research
from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition, the
top few submissions will be forwarded for publication to the
SIGCOMM newsletter, the Computer Communication Review
(CCR). Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged
to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants.

What Is A Poster?

We define a poster to be A0 paper size in portrait mode
(841x1189mm), to which you can affix visually appealing material
that describes your research. Alternatively, you can use the space
as a continuum. You should prepare the best material (visually
appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your
research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and
important about your work.
Note that you do not submit such a large-format image; only an
abstract describing in text what the poster would present. The
abstract should clearly state: (a) the problem being addressed, (b)
what makes this problem interesting, important, and difficult, (c)
your approach to the problem, and (d) the key contribution. In the
final version of the abstract, you should include a URL that provides
additional information about your work to the attendees.

What To Submit

You must submit a two-page abstract in PDF format that describes
your work. Prepare your abstract using ACM conference style,
10pt font with two columns, 0.75 inch margins and 1/3 inch space
between columns. Word documents will not be accepted. We will
distribute the abstracts to all attendees at the conference.
It is highly encouraged that each Demo proposal includes a video
clip showcasing the demo, in addition to the abstract. The video
should be no more than 1 minute and should give a good idea of
what the demo is about and what it would look like.
Including a video clip will help the committee better understand
and evaluate your proposal.

Where To Submit

Submission instructions will be available via at the website at:
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2013/
Submissions are single blind, so please include authors' names and
affiliation. When submitting a poster, indicate if the submission
should be considered for the SRC.
