Participants

Call for Participation

We invite three different types of participation in the area of computing research as well as on efforts to increase diversity in computing, e.g. outreach programs or programs to engage students outside the classroom.

  • Flash Talks: Five-minute presentations of 20 slides, where slides automatically advance every 15 seconds. Talks will have a 15-minute window to provide time for feedback and mentoring. Reports on preliminary results, work-in progress, or anything fun and creative related to the conference are welcome in this category. Open to high-school, undergraduate, or graduate students as well as professionals.
  • Posters: Presenters create a 24” x 32” poster of research, a class project, or other type of work-in-progress including efforts to diversify computing before the conference and are present at the poster during the session to discuss content. Open to high school, undergraduate and graduate students.
  • Research Shorts: An opportunity to give a 15-minute presentation with an additional 5 minutes for questions, similar to a talk at a research conference. Work should be technical in nature, investigating new ideas in any area of computer science. The intention is to give presenters a friendly environment in which to practice a future talk or work out details in an ongoing project with an audience capable of constructive feedback. No paper is required, only an abstract, so future publication of the work is not limited. Open to undergraduates, graduates, and professionals.

Submission: Submit abstracts of no more than 500 words at https://goo.gl/forms/GU3tnvJFnWC9D2pD3 by JANUARY 20, 2017. You will be prompted to list the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the presenters. Students should also specify their status; for example: 2nd year undergraduate, 3rd year graduate student. (Title, list of authors etc. do not count toward the word limit.)
