The WWW2010 Poster track continues the tradition of providing researchers and practitioners an opportunity to present and demonstrate their new and innovative work-in-progress to their peers in an informal setting. It gives  attendees a forum where they can learn about on-going research projects that might not yet be complete, but whose preliminary results are potentially interesting. It also provides presenters with an opportunity to receive feedback from knowledgeable peers.

Please see the list of conference topics for guidance on the scope of submissions.

Submission Details

The poster proposals should be submitted via:  https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WWW2010

The deadline for Poster submissions is January 26th, 2010, 09:00PM PDT.

The submission details for posters are the same as for the refereed Papers track, except that the length is limited is 2 pages (no extra pages can be purchased) and no revisions can be made to accepted posters. XHTML versions of accepted posters are not required.

Posters will be peer-reviewed by the Posters Committee based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity. Poster authors are not required to transfer copyright. Accepted poster papers will be allocated 2 pages in the conference proceedings.  In addition to the 2-page submission, accepted poster authors will be asked to generate a full-size poster and possible demonstration to be displayed in a dedicated poster area and presented during a poster session at the conference. Awards will be presented for the Best Poster and the Best Student Poster.

Questions about poster submissions can be sent to directly to the Poster track chairs:

• Deepayan Chakrabarti, Yahoo! Research (USA): deepay@yahoo-inc.com
• Anthony K. H. Tung, National University of Singapore (Singapore): at@comp.nus.edu.sg
• Evaggelia Pitoura, University of Ioannina (Greece): pitoura@cs.uoi.gr

A quick note to remind authors that full versions of paper and demo submissions are due November 2, before 09:00 PM PST. Only authors who submitted abstracts before the October 26 deadline are eligible to submit full versions of their work.

A quick note to remind authors that abstracts for papers and demos are due October 26, before 09:00 PM PDT.

All submissions can be made via the following site:

https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WWW2010

see the WWW 2010 CFP for more details:

/www2010/www/authors/cfp/

Authors submitting tutorial proposals, please note that tutorials should have a format of either 3 hours or 6 hours in duration. The 1.5 hour option has been removed at the suggestion of the Program Committee.

The paper submission site is now open. Authors should visit the following link to submit their materials:

https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WWW2010

Authors must create a record for their paper within October 26,  09:00PM PDT and submit the abstract (but not necessarily the full paper in PDF format). The abstract should be at most 2000 characters long, describe the problem being solved and the approaches used in a few sentences, so as to facilitate assignment of the full paper to reviewers. Authors will not be able to submit a full paper if they do not have an abstract in the system within the deadline. Choose one primary and up to 5 secondary topics. Use the drop down menu to select topics. Be inclusive rather than exclusive, so that a larger section of reviewers can view your submission and bid if they feel like.

There is no need to submit an abstract before the October 26 deadline to make a poster submission.

Posters submissions will now be handled separately. Please check the WWW2010 Blog for forthcoming details on poster submission format and deadlines. (Authors who have already submitted a poster will be allowed to withdraw and submit later.)
