The audience will be composed of technical and non-technical people from many different fields, so the poster material does not need to be at a level suitable for your scientific peers. Posters should take the form of traditional posterboard (see guidelines below). For each poster session presentation, we will need to receive a short (paragraph or two) abstract of the research no later than April 1st, 1993. Posters will be displayed in an open area during all three days of the conference. We recommend that the scientist or a representative of their respective organization be available to answer questions regarding the poster content during some portion of the lunch break (11:00-2:45pm Monday and Tuesday, 11:00-1:45pm on Wednesday). Guidelines for Posterboard Displays: ------------------------------------ Size of posterboard available: 30"x40". Posters will be displayed on easels. Black & white laserprinter output or color prints are examples of how your graphical results may be displayed. We can provide assistance in making color prints for you on our Kodak printer. These are high-quality glossy color prints that can be made in two sizes: 8 1/2" x 11" or 11" x 11". We will need to get the files containing your images by April 26th, 1993 in order to have time to make the color prints for you. We can convert most any type of color image (color Postscript, AVS image files, XWD files, HDF files, PICT files, RGB images, and many others) into a format suitable for making a color print.
