Instructions for submitting poster proposals (see list of reviewers)

Poster presentations offer researchers an opportunity to present late-breaking results, significant work in progress, or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Two-page abstracts of posters will appear in the conference proceedings. A poster proposal is an extended abstract (of 2 pages in SIGIR format) that emphasizes the research problem and the methods being used. As for research papers, authors are encouraged to conceal their identity where it is practicable to do so. Poster proposals must be submitted by February 28, 2001. They must be submitted electronically, via the submission web page [pointer]. We can accept poster proposals in either PDF or Postscript. It is the responsibility of authors to ensure that their poster proposals use no unusual format features and are printable on a standard Postscript printer. Hardcopy or electronic copy in other formats will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances. To arrange hardcopy or alternative format submission, please email sigir2001@ciir.cs.umass.edu. All authors, even those who choose to submit hardcopy, must complete the details on the submission web page [pointer]. LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR submissions are available from http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
