Faculty Posters / Lightning Talks

Faculty Posters and Lightning Talks are two ways to present work that is in progress. The conference allows authors to make a single submission and then choose either ( or both ) of the formats for presentation at the conference.

The goal is to provide an opportunity to start discussion, showcase a technique that hasn’t been fully tested, find collaborators, or receive input and critique on a new idea. These can include work in progress, new and untested ideas, class projects, opportunities for collaborative work, a description of a pedagogical tool, class activity, or courseware that supports learning in computer science.

The review process is less formal than paper reviews and focuses on whether the topic is suitable for the conference and whether there is an appropriate level of technical detail. The reviewing is not blind, and authors should include names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, email addresses, and a Web URL if there is one.

At least one author of an accepted work must register for the conference. The work may be presented as either a poster, a lightning talk, or both. The poster session format facilitates in depth discussion with peers about the work. A lightning talk, 10 minute talks during a single session, allows a quick overview of the work to start discussions, find collaborators, and receive feedback.

Accepted submissions will be published in the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, which is included in the ACM Digital Library.

Submissions must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages.

What should a submission contain?

The following guidelines are required:

• The topic must relate to Computer Science Education
• It must clearly describe the nature of the research/project/ investigation
• It must also clearly indicate the importance of the research/project/investigation, possibly making a brief comparison with other work
• It must describe any results obtained so far (possibly after using the project ideas in practice) and/or outline a plan for obtaining results

At least one author must present the work during the conference. For this reason, multiple submissions from the same author cannot normally be allowed. If two or more submissions have the same multiple authors, then these submissions may be considered, subject to the understanding that each will be associated with a unique presenter and all these presenters will register for the conference. In these cases, the name of the presenter should be submitted at the time of submission.

Graduate students are allowed to be authors of Faculty Posters.

How should it be formatted?

Your submission must follow the formatting requirements specified by CCSC, which may be found in the CCSC Manuscript Formatting Guidelines . You will have limited time between acceptance notification and final copy submission. Therefore, we recommend that you format your initial submissions according to this format to save yourself time later.

The LaTex formatting templates can be found here.

What do I include in the final manuscript submission?

The following items need to be in your final manuscript submission:

• final manuscript (paper or proposal), which should include all Latex source files (.tex, .bib, and image files) or the Word doc (with image files) and the generated PDF files.
• copyright release form (see Copyright Release Form section of https://lubaochuan.github.io/ccsc-editor/authors.html)
