[AISWorld] Poster Presentations at EventHorizon 2018: Call for Abstracts

[Jens Strueker]

The EventHorizon academic deep dive session is a forum to foster interactions among researchers and practitioners around novel, innovative research on topics listed below. We invite researchers and developers to present both complete and incomplete research. Even innovative ideas for future research are welcome, with the aim of generating a lively discussion. Submitted abstracts should include research objectives, (proposed) methodology, and a discussion of (expected) outcomes.

A total of 20 posters will be selected for display at EventHorizon 2018 (format: A1 laminated, portrait orientation), where poster authors could engage in discussions with interested attendees. In addition, top 5 posters will also be presented at a panel session on April 18 (5-minute presentations to be followed by a moderated Q&A session). Notably, lead author of each of the 20 posters will be provided with a free conference ticket and other authors will automatically be granted academic discount.

As a result of established cooperation with the Journal of Energy Markets, abstracts that present original and previously unpublished work will be considered for publication as articles featured in a Special Issue of Blockchain Enabled Energy Markets,.


Submission requirements

Poster submissions should be in the form of a short paper/abstract describing the main contributions and the merits of the proposed ideas as well as reporting initial results and the challenges towards a full-fledged solution of the problem under consideration. Abstracts will be evaluated in terms of research objectives, (proposed) methodology and a discussion of (expected) outcomes, with focus on their potential to stimulate interesting discussions and promote collaborations.  

An abstract should be a one-page PDF (including references) using 10-point Times New Roman font on 12-point leading, formatted in two columns with .25" between the columns and in a text block no more than 6.5" wide by 9" deep, which on U.S. letter paper means 1" margins on all sides.

        ▪       poster title

        ▪       which authors, if any, are students
