Abstracts
The Oxford Computer Science Conference is a forum for department members to gain experience with the all-important practice of research community participation. This year's conference will continue the tradition of being an internal event, hosted within the department to maximise participation and interactive discussion.
Conference attendance is open to all in the department. Participation in the form of presentations or posters is open to graduate students, post-docs and other research staff who do not hold full-time academic positions. We encourage department academics who wish to share recent research results with colleagues to make submissions to the "lightning talks" track.
Submission is via micro-abstract and these should be no more than 200 words not including title or authors. Abstracts will be evaluated by a programme committee comprised of students from around the department, with a selection invited to present their research. This year's conference will have three types of sessions:
- Presentation Sessions: 20-30 minute full-length talks
- Poster Session: Open forum for one-on-one and small group discussion
- "Lightning" Talks: 5-minute (or less) talks on emerging research or interest topics
- Any computer-science-related theme allowed
- Must include title, author list and research theme
- Indicate preferred session type (presentation, poster, lightning talk)
- Maximum 200 words, shorter allowed (It's a micro-abstract!)
- Closing date: noon on Friday 13th May.
The Selection Committee will review the extended abstracts and will select those for inclusion in the conference, either as posters or short talks (or both) and will provide notification of acceptance by Friday, 20th May. Those invited to present talks will need to provide a camera-ready copy of their abstract by Friday, 3rd June.
There will be cash prizes for the best talk, the best abstract and the best poster for both research staff and students and the winners will be announced at the wine reception at the end of the conference.
