Poster Submission - AusWeb96

A quick overview

This document is to assist those who are preparing posters for AusWeb96. There is information here on:

Posters

AusWeb96 will have poster sessions in each of the themes. A computer and display space will be provided. Each poster session has been programmed for 90 minutes and during that time you would be expected to talk about your poster with participants in your theme.

Poster sessions are particularly useful for reporting work-in-progress, an exciting and different Web site or an unusual application of Web technology.


Once Your Poster is Refereed and Accepted

This is quite similar, if a little less complex than the submission of full papers. If you are in any doubt at all about submission of your paper please email the editor-in-chief at aw96edit@scu.edu.au. In this section we cover:

Your files on our server

Each poster will be given its own directory on the SCU Web server within the directory stucture for the appropriate theme. Within the directory there will be just one HTML document and associated graphics.

The poster (index.html) will be reproduced on the AusWeb96 CD-ROM which will be published approximately one month after the conference. Poster submission requirements are designed to allow simultaneous production on the Web and in print.

Using Relative and Absolute References in your paper

Given simultaneous CD-ROM production it is important to make relative references to any materials which will be packaged up with the poster and absolute references to any other resources.

The directory structure is shown below. So if your paper is poster 01 in the Business theme, it will be placed as shown:

HTML Style

The IETF DTD HTML 2.0 plus tables from the HTML 3.0 draft is the standard for poster submission. There is to be no use of Netscape or Microsoft extensions to these standards, with one exception and one exception only - The headings to all posters are to be Heading 1, and the non-standard ALIGN=CENTER tage is to be used.

Referencing Techniques

References to print material should be in the form set out in the Australian Style Guide.

<h2>Introduction</h2>
This poster describes the introduction of the WorldWideWeb to the students of 
Ballina Lighthouse State School. 
<h2>Background</h2>
Ballina Lighthouse State School is a K6 school which primarily services the
children of the Ballina lighthouse keepers and staff at the Ballina Beach
Resort. The school was first connected to the Internet in 1992 with access 
arranged through Ballina University. In 1994 it was decided to install a 
WorldWideWeb server.
<h2>The Ballina Beach State School WWW Server "LightSource"</h2>
The <a href="http://www.bu.edu.au/bbss/index.html">LightSource</a>
was commissioned on the Ballina University server in January 1994 in time for 
the 1994 school year. The students used a regular personal computer and high 
speed modem to upload html images to the Ballina University computers. The
designated computer had appropriate facilities to display graphical and 
sound images.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
The production of multimedia is a difficult but challenging environment to work
in  (Makedon et al 1994), not the least with students in the K6 environment. We
found that the greatest challenge was, however, not with the students but in the 
technical sense.
