Overview
This document describes instructions for submitting proposals for posters at ISCRAM 2012. It first describes the poster session itself, followed by the formatting requirements for poster proposals and posters themselves. Finally, the process by which poster proposals are submitted and evaluated is described.
Description of poster session
The ISCRAM 2012 poster session will provide an opportunity for presenters to interact informally with conference attendees, using a standard-size poster as a visual aid (see instructions below). Presenting a poster is also a good way in which to discuss and receive feedback on a work in progress that has not been fully developed into a paper. To facilitate this interaction, the ISCRAM 2012 poster session will be held in conference common areas, where foot traffic is expected to be high. Posters should not be previously published or a previous poster. A list of the poster titles and authors will be included in the conference proceedings and the program. Poster proposals are not published in the conference proceedings.
Formatting requirements.
For your poster to be considered, submit a poster proposal (limited to two pages, using the format of this document as a guide). The poster proposal should include the following five sections (and no others).
Proposer: Include name, affiliation and email address (as above). This item does not count in the page limit. Poster proposals do not undergo blind review, so this information should be included.
Statement of Topic: A short, descriptive title.
Significance and Relevance of the Topic: Briefly explain why the topic is significant and why it is relevant to this conference.
Abstract: Describe the expected content of the poster. This may include study design and key results. Cite relevant work or current trends as necessary. You may find it useful to examine the following guidelines on preparing an effective poster (http://xrds.acm.org/article.cfm?aid=332138, Consulted on: Dec. 8th, 2011).
References: If necessary, provide up to six references to related publications cited in the abstract.
Use this document as a guide to formatting. Follow the "US letter" paper size only.
The title of the abstract should be in Arial 18-point bold. Authors’ names should be in Times New Roman 12-point bold, and affiliations in Times New Roman 12-point. To position names and addresses, use a table with invisible borders, as in this document. Alternatively, if only one address is needed, use a centered tab stop to center all names and the address text; for two addresses, use two centered tab stops, and so on. If the single row cannot hold all authors’ information (for example, a paper has 4 or more authors), you can have another row under the first row.
The main document should have four sections (statement of topic; significance and relevance, abstract; references), with each section heading formatted using the heading style “Heading 1” in MS Word (i.e., All capital letters, Arial 9pt, 6pt spacing before, 0pt spacing afterward). Use of subheadings should be avoided.
For the main text, please use a 10-point Times New Roman font or, if it is unavailable, another proportional font with serifs, as close as possible in appearance to Times New Roman 10-point. On a Macintosh, use the font named Times and not Times New Roman. Please use sans-serif or non-proportional fonts only for special purposes, such as headings or source code text.
Up to one figure and one table can be included in the abstract (see examples below).

Setting C / 98 / 85

For references, if you use EndNote, select “Information Systems Journal” style. In the text, cite by authors’ last names followed by the year of publication – list all authors’ last names for the first time, then use “et al.” for subsequent citations if there are more than two authors. If multiple articles are cited at the same time, order them alphabetically by the first author’s last name and separate the citations by semicolons. If the same author(s) has/have more than one articles being cited, use chronicle order and separate the year of publication of the articles by commas. For example: (Agarwal and Karahanna, 2000; Ajzen, 1988, 1991; Zhang, Benbasat, Carey, Davis, Galletta and Strong, 2002). Later in the paper, you may cite some of them again, along with others, as follows: (Agarwal and Karahanna, 2000; Ghani, Supnick and Rooney, 1991; Shneiderman, 1998; Tractinsky, 1997; Zhang et al., 2002). See examples on the references corresponding to these citations at the end of this document. Within this template file, use the References style for the text of your citations. Your references should comprise only published materials accessible to the public. Proprietary information (such as internal reports) may not be cited.
The maximum dimensions for a poster are expected to be approximately 100cm high by 60cm wide. Written text should be readable from a distance of 6 feet (about 2 meters). That is approximately a minimum of about 20pt font, but larger is always better. Please do not feel obligated to consume the entire surface of the poster stand.
Submission and evaluation
All submissions of poster proposals must be uploaded to the conference's online submission system:
https://www.conftool.com/iscram2012/
You will be asked to identify the track to which you would like your proposal to be assigned. See the Call for Papers on http://www.iscram.org/iscram2012, menu “Submissions,” item “Call for Papers,” for a list of tracks.
Evaluation of poster proposals will be single-blind (i.e., authors’ names will be visible to reviewers). Proposals will be evaluated based on content, significance, originality and relevance.
