• Posters
• Demonstrations

Posters

Poster presentations enable researchers to present late-breaking results, work in progress, or research that is best presented interactively or graphically. Two-page extended abstracts will appear in the proceedings. The extended abstract should emphasize the research problem and the methods used.

If you are interested in presenting your work as a poster at SIGIR, a description of 1,000 words or less of the work that will be covered in your poster should be submitted. Two hard copies need to be sent: 1) a copy containing the 1,000 word poster description with title, but no indication of the author or affiliation; 2) a separate copy of the 1,000 word poster description with title, plus author and affiliation, in camera-ready form.

Instructions for camera-ready copies for poster submissions can be found here.

Poster submissions should be sent to arrive by May 1, 1999, to:

Demonstrations

Demonstrations can offer first-hand experience with Information Retrieval systems, whether advanced operational systems or research prototypes. The demonstration proposal should indicate how the demonstration illustrates new ideas, should provide the technical specifications of the system and should include references to other literature. The hardware, software, and network requirements should be indicated in a separate cover letter. A one-page abstract describing each demonstration accepted will be published in the proceedings.

Proposals should be submitted to the Demonstrations Chair. Send either 3 hardcopies or 1 ascii email copy of at most 500 words. Demonstration proposals should be sent to arrive by May 1, 1999 to:
