How to Submit

Overview

SC’s Research Posters program provides a venue for researchers in industry, academia (including students), and government to present cutting-edge research ideas and late-breaking results. Posters are peer-reviewed by a committee which also selects a poster for the Best Research Poster award based on quality of research and poster presentation. Some posters form the foundation for papers presented at future conferences.

Note: Students who are not ACM members may submit to Research Posters. Students who want to participate in the ACM Student Research Competition or Doctoral Showcase should refer to ACM Student Research Competition Submissions or Doctoral Showcase Submissions.

Preparing Your Submission

A research poster submission has three main components: the poster itself, a two-page extended abstract in the IEEE format, and an optional Artifact Description Appendix.

Poster Format

The SC Conference may provide a poster template as a guideline. Final poster style, layout, font, and content are left to the discretion of the author(s). Poster size should be such that your poster mounts properly on the four feet high and eight feet wide display board that will be provided by SC. Your poster does not need to cover the entire display board; the poster size should be appropriate for your content.

You can embed additional multimedia elements into your poster by placing QR (Quick Response) codes anywhere you want to link to external content. Such elements may include a video narration of the poster by the author, links to results, movies, graphics, datasets, codes, etc. The goal of embedded multimedia elements should be to enhance the presentation of research in the poster. Note that extended versions of the poster or related publications are not considered acceptable multimedia elements in this context.

At the time of submission, the poster content does not need to be in its final form. You may make changes to your poster after acceptance, but your submission must be a representative draft of the final poster.

HPC Education Posters

Posters focusing on HPC education are considered within the scope of Research Posters; there is no separate education track. Education posters should be submitted using the Research Posters submission form.

Where to Submit

Research posters are submitted via the SC submissions website.

Authors submitting a research poster should take care to select the correct submission type within the SC submissions website. Once submitted, the poster type cannot be changed.

Reproducibility Initiative

We believe that reproducible science is essential, and that SC is a leader in this effort. Moving in this direction, we encourage authors to submit reproducibility information in the form of an Artifact Description (AD) Appendix along with their other submission materials in the SC submissions website.

Review Criteria

All research posters are peer-reviewed by a committee of experts. Poster reviews are single-blind: reviewers will see author names, but authors will not see reviewer names.

Conflict of Interest

Please review the SC Conference Conflict of Interest guidelines before submitting your poster.

Plagiarism

Please see the IEEE guidelines on identifying plagiarism. Authors should submit new, original work that represents a significant advance from even their own prior publications.

Upon Acceptance

In-Person Presentations

SC22 is planning an in-person event and presenting in-person is encouraged. A supporting digital experience will accommodate those who cannot attend in-person due to travel restrictions or health concerns.

Registration

If your research poster is accepted, the presenter must register for the Technical Program in order to attend the SC Conference and present the poster.

Finalizing Accepted Research Posters

If your poster is accepted, you may update the poster content, the optional artifact description appendix, and the two-page extended abstract.

Your research poster will be included in the online SC Schedule provided you upload your final poster to the SC submissions website before September 15, 2022.

Archives

Research Posters are made available in the Technical Program Archives, upon submission of the final poster to the SC submissions website before September 30, 2022.

On-site

Schedule and Location

Research Posters will be displayed Tuesday–Thursday, November 15–17, 2022.

Research Posters must be mounted between 2 pm and 5 pm on Monday, November 14, 2022 and should remain mounted until 5 pm on Thursday, November 17, 2022. This allows conference attendees to browse posters outside the Posters sessions.

Infrastructure

Each poster is given a designated space with a display board. Before the conference, poster authors are sent a directory that maps assigned display boards. The title of each poster will also be printed on its display board in the Posters area to help you locate your space.

The display board includes a designated space for a QR code. This QR code links the poster to the Technical Program Archives, where each poster has its own web page and the most updated version of the material. Hiding or removing the QR code will prevent attendees from easily accessing your poster in the SC Technical Program Archive. You do not have to generate these QR codes. We generate one QR code for each poster that links to your submitted content. This code is attached to the display board by the time you arrive at SC.

Pushpins are provided for affixing all poster materials to display boards. Mounting your poster on foam core is not recommended.

The conference does not provide any support for printing posters. Typically, authors print their posters ahead of the conference at their home institution or via a commercial printing company (e.g., a Fedex office). The convention center’s business office may offer printing services.

Posters Reception

The Posters Reception on Tuesday evening provides food and drink to registered Technical Program attendees. Poster presenters must be available at their posters to answer questions and discuss their work for the duration of the reception.

Awards

The Research Posters Committee nominates Best Poster candidates during the review process. At the conference, an ad-hoc committee judges poster content, including the optional artifact description appendix, and poster presentations during a Best Posters Presentation Session and the Posters Reception. After the reception, this committee convenes and selects a single best poster.
