POSTERS AND DEMOS: http://2009.ecoop.org/poster-demo.html

ECOOP 2009 will hold combined poster and demonstration sessions. The
Poster/Demo Session is an opportunity for presenting late-breaking
results, ongoing research projects, and speculative or innovative work
in progress, in an informal and interactive setting. Posters and demos
are intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to
connect with each other and to engage in discussions about the work.
Technical posters, reports on descriptions of completed work, and work
in progress are all welcome, especially if they draw important
conclusions from practical experience. Demonstrations are intended to
showcase innovative implementations and technologies.

Successful posters are carefully designed to convey technical details.
They should also attract the attention of attendees as they stroll
past the displays. The goal is to develop a poster that encourages and
facilitates small groups of individuals interested in a technical area
to gather and interact. Posters will be peer-reviewed by the Poster
Committee.

Authors must submit a two-page paper with a short abstract for
evaluation. The abstract must clearly demonstrate relevance to ECOOP.
Submissions will be evaluated for acceptability by the reviewers.
Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the main
conference topics, originality, potential significance, topicality and
clarity. If a poster will be accompanied by a live software
demonstration, authors are requested to submit an additional one-page
explanation of the demo, which will not be included in the poster/demo
notes. Submit the demo explanation as a one-page appendix of your
paper.

Posters and demos are NOT intended as advertisements for software packages.

Authors submitting a full paper to ECOOP may also submit the same work
for consideration in the Demo/Poster track, either before or after
result notification for the full paper. For example, a demo can be
provided for an accepted paper, or a poster can be used to present
work that was insufficiently mature for the research track.

At least one of the Poster/Demo authors must be a registered
participant at the conference, and attend the Poster/Demo Session to
present the work. The abstracts for all accepted posters and demos
will be given to all conference attendees and published on the
conference web site. They will not be included in the formal
proceedings.

IMPORTANT DATES

The initial deadline for posters/demos is May 1st.
Requests received by that date will be responded to May 15th.
Thereafter, submissions will still be accepted until such time as all
slots are filled.
