Call for Posters

The SPLASH Posters track provides an excellent forum for authors to present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any aspect of programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of the poster session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact. It is held early in the conference, to promote continued discussion among interested parties.

Independent Posters

We invite submissions of posters that are within the scope of any of the SPLASH tracks and affiliated conferences / workshops and:

  • showcase ongoing work that has not yet reached sufficient maturity for publication in a conference or journal
  • highlight research challenges that existing work has failed to address
  • outline planned research activities (e.g., M.Sc. or Ph.D. projects) and illustrate their relevance and potential impact, or
  • describe new Free / Open Source Software tools or systems that
    • are aimed at practitioners, or
    • are aimed at researchers and contribute to research infrastructure, i.e., enable or simplify research activities

The extended abstracts of accepted independent posters will be included in the SPLASH Companion proceedings and become available in the ACM Digital Library.

Submissions

Posters will be evaluated both on their contributions and on how effectively they communicate those contributions. All poster proposals should include ONE of the following, in PDF format:

  • A two-page extended abstract in the ACM acmart Master Article Template, sigplan subformat, with 10pt font, or, alternatively
  • The poster itself. Posters should consist of one or more landscape slides. Note that posters will not be included in the SPLASH Companion Proceedings, only extended abstracts.

Posters should be submitted here by August 15.

Poster authors are required to attend the scheduled interactive poster session, staying with their poster so that they can discuss their work with conference attendees. We will provide more details on the exact date and time of the poster sessions closer to the conference.

Demonstrations

Demos offer an effective platform for explaining an idea in action. They are an excellent way to share technical aspects of designs, tools or systems that are difficult to capture with a “static” poster. At the same time, they naturally increase the level of interaction between presenters and attendees of the poster sessions and promote lively discussions.

We strongly encourage authors of accepted posters to prepare a demo of their work if applicable. Authors that intend to supplement their poster with a demo should indicate that when submitting their poster.

Posters for Works Accepted at OOPSLA and Onward!

We encourage authors of papers and essays accepted at OOPSLA and Onward! to present a poster that summarizes their work. Such posters will not be subject to further review and they will have no separate extended abstract in the SPLASH Companion proceeding. However, these posters will be eligible for the Poster Competition.

We do require posters for accepted OOPSLA papers (and any accompanying demos) to be registered using this separate registration form by September 30 so that we can order the necessary supplies.

Student Submissions and Related Events

The SPLASH Posters track is a venue for researchers at any level of experience, but we explicitly welcome students to submit their in-progress work. If you are a student and considering submitting a poster, we recommend you to also explore the Doctoral Symposium and the ACM Student Research Competition. These related events are additional opportunities for feedback and suggestions on your dissertation work and may provide you with contacts for further interaction, as well as experience in communicating with other professionals.

This year, SPLASH Posters track will be a hybrid event. You can choose whether you would prefer to participate in the in-person session or the online sessions. The in-person session will follow the usual pre-COVID format of SPLASH Posters. The online sessions will take place during the first break of each day of OOPSLA and Onward! and will feature poster videos of the papers of the day. Hence, the online sessions will play the role of an online advertisements for the talks to follow later in the day.

Our goal is to give the authors the opportunity to reach the biggest audience possible and to make available to the attendees as much content as possible. Hence, we ask that all authors prepare an up to 3 minutes video presentation of their work (up to 5 minutes if a demo is included). In other words, the online sessions will feature all posters even if their authors will attend the in-person session. Unfortunately, logistics do not allow to do the inverse, i.e., print the posters of authors that will attend the online sessions and display them during the in-person event.

To register your poster, please fill in this form by September 30.

Poster Preparation

Poster: Physical posters should be A0-sized (portrait). A0 format dimensions are: W 841mm × L 1189mm or W 33.1in × L 46.8in.

Poster Video: Please prepare a 3 min video that gives a teaser of your work. You can also include a demo in the video. If you chose to do so, the poster video can be up to 5 minutes. The video should be either an MOV or an MP4 file. The preferred resolution is 1920x1080 @ 30 FPS but 1280x720 @ 30 FPS is also acceptable. Please keep in mind that 1280x720 videos will be resized to 1920x1080 for streaming. In addition to the video, please also prepare subtitles in SRT format (extension .srt).

Sneak Peek Thumbnail: In addition to the physical poster and the poster video, you can also prepare a sneak peek thumbnail that will show up in the overview page of the online space that will host the online poster sessions. You can also use the poster itself for that purpose but keep in mind that the poster may contain too much information to be readable from the overview page.

Closer to the dates of SPLASH, we will follow up with instructions about how to upload your poster video and thumbnail.

What to Expect During the Event

If you choose to attend the in-person session, please print your poster and bring it to the designated space for Posters. You should stay next to your poster for the duration of the session to chat with attendees and answer questions. You do not have to attend the online sessions that will feature your poster video, but you are welcome to do so if you like.

If you choose to attend the online session, you should join the designated online room for your poster during the session that will feature your poster or its mirror. Attendees will be able to visit the booth of your poster, watch the video, and join the room to chat with you and ask questions.
