Introduction
The Oxford University Department of Computer Science Student Conference 2011 takes place Friday, 18th November 2011 (6th week of Michaelmas term) in the Wolfson Building on Parks Road, in lecture theatre A.
Established in 2004, the conference was originally held biennially and has since become an annual event. This year also sees the conference return to department, with all talks being held in Lecture Theatre A. All staff and students are welcome to attend.
Current DPhil students are encouraged to submit abstracts for talks or posters. Any research topic covered by the Department of Computer Science is appropriate and it is perfectly acceptable to submit work that has been presented or submitted elsewhere. Presentations in previous years have covered new results, selected material from MSc, transfer, or confirmation theses, or research proposals of general interest. The conference may also serve as an excellent forum for students approaching Transfer of Status to present their work to a new audience ahead of their viva.
The Selection Committee will review all abstracts and will select fourteen talks from these for presentation, along with a similar number of posters; we expect to provide notification of acceptance by Friday, 4th November. Those invited to present talks will need to provide a camera-ready copy of their presentation by Friday, 11th November.
The best three talks will be awarded cash prizes, the winners to be announced at the wine reception at the end of the conference.
