The poster session was introduced to provide a more interactive presentation of papers judged to be of high interest to a narrow audience or that would best be presented in a more interactive format. The success of the poster session, evident in the enthusiastic audience response, is attributed not only to the high quality of the papers selected but also to the authors' adherence to the following guidelines for effective presentation in poster format.
The key guideline is that the poster should not consist of a copy of the manuscript; instead it should allow the attendees to recognize the key points of the work easily from a distance of at least 3 meters and to facilitate more detailed discussions with the authors. Often the best poster comprises a few large graphs/illustrations annotated clearly to show the viewer why each is significant, with only enough text to headline key points like purpose, conclusions, and impact.
The SID ‘15 Poster Session will be held on Thursday, June 4 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the San Jose Convention Center. Authors are expected to be present to answer questions throughout this time. The room will be open for poster setup beginning at 11:00 am on Thursday morning: a 4 feet high x 8 feet wide bulletin board with ample tacks and 3 feet x 18 inches of table space for handouts/demonstrations will be available upon request.
