A standard session will be scheduled for 45 mins (35 mins talk + 10 mins Q&A). The session could be a technical talk, panel discussion, or BOF. If you need more time or additional resources, feel free to get in touch with the organizing team.
For participants who would like to participate, but are not sure they’d like to do a full talk proposal, we have shorter lighting talks. These are a five minutes presentation to demonstrate your work or promote an interesting topic. These talks will be grouped together in a single session.
Please provide a short abstract of your proposal (under 150 words). Include your name, biographical information, a photo suitable for the web, a title, and a description of your presentation. The reviewing team will evaluate the entries based on the submitted abstracts and available time by following the schedule.
Submission deadline: Feb 16, 2016
Confirmation of paper acceptance: Feb 23, 2016
All interested contributors are highly encouraged to send in talks.
