The Sri Lanka Student Workshop on Computer Science (SL-SWCS) will bring together research students from Sri Lanka for a one-day workshop which will be held at the Faculty of Science, University of Jaffna on the 14th of December 2013, for the second consecutive year. This student-focused workshop is a proud initiative by the Department of Computer Science, University of Jaffna. The poster should be written in English. Some example posters are available here (Poster-1, Poster-2). On acceptance, the presenter needs to print and bring the poster for the workshop.

ABSTRACT: Each poster should contain an abstract of max 500 characters. POSTER SIZE: A0 Landscape (1189mm x 841mm).

Prior to the poster session, there is a 20 minutes plenary spotlights session where presenters can "advertise" their posters. The time allocated to each of the spotlight is about 1 minute. A Microsoft Powerpoint presentation template is available here.

A selected subset from the submitted posters will be selected by the reviewers and organising committee for short oral presentation. A "Best Presentation" and "Best Poster" prize will be awarded to the students selected by the invited speakers.
