DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: August 15, 2016

Requirements

The committee, with the help of student volunteers, will select one of the presentations in Novel Work track for a "Best Presentation Award", which will be announced at the end of the Symposium.​  ​The winner of the "Best Presentation Award" will receive a cash prize of $500. Additionally, two "Honorable Mentions" will be selected, each receiving a cash prize of $100.  As with last year, the software/tools track is merged with the regular poster session, and we are still soliciting poster presentations of software and tools relevant to all areas of research conducted within the LTI.  There will also be two $100 "Best Poster Award": one of the poster prizes will primarily be awarded for research-oriented posters, and one for software/tools.

Presentation Format

*Presentation format*

Each oral presentation slot will be​ ​around​ ​30 minutes long, with 20 minutes for the oral presentation itself and 10 minutes for questions.  An oral presentation in the LTI SRS fulfills the yearly speaking requirement for all PhDs and second-year MLT students.

*Poster format*

Posters can be any reasonable size, landscape or portrait, as for major conferences.  More details are available on request from the organizers.  If you have a particularly wide poster or want to include a demo, please consult with us so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
