Call for Submission: Modeling Symposium @ EclipseCon North America 2015
December 15, 2014 | 2 min ReadI am happy to announce that Philip, Ed and I are organizing the Modeling Symposium for EclipseCon North America 2015. It is scheduled for the second day of the conference, i.e., Tuesday, March 10th. The symposium aims to provide a forum for community members to present a brief overview of their work. We offer 10 minute lightning slots (including questions) to facilitate a broad range of speakers. The primary goal is to introduce interesting, new, technology and features. We are mainly targeting projects that are not otherwise represented in the conference program.
If you are interested in giving a talk, please send a short description (a few sentences) to [[email protected]](mailto: [email protected]). Depending on the number, we might have to select among the submissions. Submission Deadline extended to February 6th.
Please adhere to the following guidelines:
Please provide sufficient context. Talks should start with a concise overview of what the presenter plans to demonstrate, or what a certain framework offers. Even more important, explain how and why the topic is relevant.
Don’t bore us! Get to the point quickly. You don’t have to use all your allocated time. An interesting 3 minute talk will have a bigger impact than a boring 10 minute talk. We encourage you to plan for a 5 minute talk, leaving room for 5 minutes of discussion.
Keep it short and sweet, and focus on the most important aspects. A conference offers the advantage of getting in contact with people who are interested in your work. So consider the talk more as a teaser to prompt follow-up conversations than a forum to demonstrate or discuss technical details in depth.
A demo is worth a thousand slides. We prefer to see how your stuff works rather than be told about how it works with illustrative slides. Please restrict the slides to summarize your introduction or conclusion.
Looking forward to your submissions!
