POSTERS

All contributed presentations are posters. The deadline for submission of poster abstracts is Thursday, May 24. It is likely that all posters will be accepted, but in case an unexpectedly large number of posters are submitted, acceptances will be on a first-come first-served basis.

The maximum dimensions for the poster boards are 36 inches tall and 48 inches wide. These dimensions have been increased due to a supply issue with the previous size backing boards.

INVITED TALKS

Oral presentations are by invitation only. Invited speakers will be contacted and asked to provide an abstract by Friday, May 18 at the latest.

For the invited talks we will provide a laptop with PowerPoint, OpenOffice, and Acroread. We recommend that you either bring your talk on a memory stick, CD-Rom or e-mail it to us at es07@chips.ncsu.edu a few days before the conference. If you prefer you can also bring your own laptop.

ABSTRACT FORMAT

The suggested format of abstracts for contributed poster and invited oral presentations is the same. If possible, please download the LaTeX template and modify for your use. Alternatively, please download the formatted sample pdf abstract and make some attempt to match its style. Abstracts should be prepared for printing on 8.5x11 paper. If possible, please convert your abstract to PDF and email the PDF as an attachment, but LaTeX and attachments are also acceptable.

Abstracts should be emailed to es07@chips.ncsu.edu before the May 24 deadline.
