Call For Posters

We invite participants to submit posters of relevant work with a 100 - 200 word abstract. The accepted contributions will be posted on the workshop website but they will not appear in the official IEEE proceedings. The reviewing is single blind by a committee formed by the workshop organizers and invited speakers. We welcome any poster format in stand size. A poster template of A1 (23.4 x 33.1 in ) PPT can be downloaded here.

The best three posters would be awarded a prize* of USD $600, $400, and $200 each, with certificates.

Accepted contributions will have the opportunity to present their work in a poster session and a 3-mins spotlight presentation at the workshop.

Please submit both your poster and abstract by sending it as a .zip file directly to aim2019.soft@gmail.com
