How to Participate

SIAM requests that individuals limit themselves to giving one talk. (This does not apply to invited plenary speakers). The co-chairs of the organizing committee may make exceptions to this request. A poster may be presented in addition to a talk, provided the talk and the poster are on different results. All submissions are subject to review and final approval by the co-chairs.   

In addition to submitting an abstract, conference participants have the opportunity to submit a full paper for consideration in the conference proceedings. See section below titled “Proceedings Submission for details regarding submitting a full paper for consideration in the proceedings.

Minisymposia

A minisymposium generally consists of four 25-minute presentations, with an additional five minutes for discussion after each presentation.  To ensure balance, SIAM prefers a single individual not be the (co)organizer of more than two minisymposium, however, organizers can submit up to three (3) parts per minisymposium, allowing up to twelve (12) speakers. In addition, SIAM discourages minisymposia in which most of the speakers or co-authors come from the same institution.

SIAM also requests speakers submit only one oral presentation for the conference, either a minisymposium presentation or contributed lecture.  

It is recommended that a minisymposium organizer make the first presentation. Each minisymposium speaker should submit an abstract no longer than 1500 characters, including spaces. The organizing committee will referee minisymposium proposals. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the conference sessions.

Be certain to visit http://www.siam.org/meetings/guidelines/mini_guide.php to review Guidelines for Preparing a Minisymposium Proposal.

Prospective minisymposium organizers must submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not to exceed 1500 characters, including spaces), a list of speakers and presentation titles using the Conference Management System available at:  http://meetings.siam.org/start.cfm?CONFCODE=ct17.

To submit a Minisymposterium, organizers and poster participants must coordinate and do the following:

1. Participants must submit their posters by February 1, 2017 using the Conference Management System (CMS): http://meetings.siam.org/start.cfm?CONFCODE=ct17. The poster title should be submitted as “Minisymposterium: [insert poster title]”.
2. After the posters are submitted to the CMS, Organizers must send an email to [email protected] using the subject line "CT17 Minisymposterium – [insert minisymposterium title]." The email must include:
1. Organizer name, affiliation, email address
2. A short title for the minisymposterium
3. A short description of the minisymposterium (less than 1500 characters, including spaces)
4. Poster titles and presenters first name, last name, and affiliation for each poster scheduled within the minisymposterium

New at CT17: E-Posters

An e-poster is a large electronic display that a laptop can be plugged into to show rich, interactive material at the poster session. The Annual Meeting will have up to 25 e-poster displays. In order to select the presentations, we request a description of between 100-500 words explaining why your submission should be selected. Important information to include is a description of how you will take advantage of the electronic format to go beyond what is possible in a regular poster and also how you will distinguish what you'll do with an e-poster from a standard projector presentation. Please submit your explanation using this Google Form. 

In addition to completing the Google Form, participants must submit their posters by February 1, 2017 using the Conference Management System (CMS): http://meetings.siam.org/start.cfm?CONFCODE=ct17. The poster title should be submitted as E-Poster: [insert poster title]”.

Contributed Presentations in Lecture or Poster Format

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas consistent with the conference themes. A lecture format is generally a 15-minute oral presentation with an additional 5 minutes for discussion.   Talk lengths will be determined by the co-chairs at the close of submissions. 

SIAM also requests speakers submit only one oral presentation for the conference, either a minisymposium presentation or contributed lecture.

A poster format involves the use of non-electronic visual aids for mounting on a 4’ x 6’ or 4’ x 8’ poster board. A poster session is two hours long.  Each contributor, either for a lecture or a poster, must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 1500 characters, including spaces. 

Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts:  February 1, 2017

Acceptance Notification

Speaker Cancellation

The Conference Organizing Committee expects every speaker in a scheduled presentation to register and attend the conference.

If it becomes necessary for a speaker to cancel a presentation, he or she should try to find an alternate presenter immediately, preferably a co-author. Contact SIAM at [email protected] immediately with any change to a scheduled presentation.

A “no-show” or cancelled presentation can cause serious inconvenience to the attendees and conference organizers. The committee thanks all speakers in advance for their compliance to this request.
