DNA24 late breaking poster session, deadline September 25, 2018

To enable more graduate students to participate in the 24th International Conference on DNA Computing and Molecular Programming, we are organizing a special late-breaking poster session.  

Due to the late-breaking nature of this session, it will be scheduled on the afternoon of October 10th and separated from the Poster Session I and II. It will also be excluded from the best student/postdoc poster award of DNA24, but accompanied with special poster awards sponsored by the local organizing committee.  Submissions to this session should not be redundant or substantively similar to proposals already submitted under the original application deadline. Authors of posters may not present more than one other poster or talk. Submissions for this session are due September 25th. The notifications of selection decisions will be sent by October 1st.

The abstract submission will be through the submission link on the conference website:  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dna24. All poster submissions should conform to the following guidelines:

• The total length of the abstract should not exceed 1 page (11 point type, single spaced, 1 inch margins).

• The one-page abstract should describe the primary results and their importance.

Electronic Submissions: Please read the instructions below before submitting. When you are ready to submit please go to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dna24

I. Submissions to be considered for oral presentations (Tracks A and B)
Authors submitting a paper and/or proposal for a presentation may choose between two submission tracks. Submissions for oral presentations can be submitted to one of the two tracks (A) or (B).

Track A - Full Paper: For authors who want their full papers to be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) conference proceedings. Submissions (a single .pdf file) should conform to the following guidelines:
  • The paper is formatted in LaTeX using the LNCS style. Please follow the formatting instructions at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Papers not formatted using the LNCS style may be rejected without review.
    •  The main contents of the paper, including title, abstract, and references, should appear in the first 16 pages of the pdf. (Warning: this is 16 pages in LNCS format, which tends to allow less text per page than other formats.) An optional technical appendix is permitted if the authors deem it necessary to back up the claims made in the first 16 pages. However, it is at the discretion of the PC whether to read beyond the first 16 pages as part of the review process.
    •   Each paper contains an abstract which briefly describes the primary results and their importance.
   •   Selected papers will be published in the proceedings, available at the conference and as part of the LNCS series. Submissions to Track A may not be previously published or simultaneously submitted to another conference or journal for publication.

Track B - One-page abstract with accompanied material: Primarily for authors submitting experimental results who plan to submit to a journal rather than publish in the conference proceedings. (Abstracts for work recently submitted to or published in a journal will also be considered.) To be considered for oral presentation submissions should conform to the following guidelines.
    • A one-page abstract: The total length of the abstract should not exceed 1 page (11 point type, single spaced, 1 inch margins). The abstract describes the primary results and their importance.
    • Supporting documentation: In addition to the one-page abstract, authors also submit a preliminary manuscript, a thesis chapter, or some other form of supporting documentation that can be used by the program committee to evaluate the merit of the work for oral presentation. Only the one-page abstract will appear in the supplementary proceedings at the conference. Track
B papers unaccompanied by adequate documentation will be rejected without review. Authors lacking substantial supporting documentation are encouraged instead to submit a one-page abstract to Track C.

II. Poster submissions (Track C)
For authors interested in presenting their work only in the poster session, the abstract submission will be through the conference website. All poster submissions should conform to the following guidelines:
   • The total length of the abstract should not exceed 1 page (11 point type, single spaced, 1 inch margins).
    • The one-page abstract should describe the primary results and their importance.
  • At the discretion of the PC, a small number of high-quality posters may be selected for short (10 minute) presentations at the conference. For consideration, optional supporting documentation is strongly encouraged to be submitted in addition to the one-page abstract.
