Poster Session

1 We will have a poster session for all papers (full, short and demonstration papers) in SISAP 2018. The poster session will take place at the same location as the reception on October 7th, 2018 (18:00-20:00). This session is expected to be a great opportunity to learn more about each presented paper in an informal setting and hopefully will enable new collaboration ideas.

The posters will be printed by our local organizers in Lima. In order to facilitate this process, please prepare and submit your poster in PDF format to [email protected]. The recommended poster size is A1 (23.4 x 33.1 in). The (hard) submission deadline is September 24th, 2018.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Peru,

Yasin Silva and Stephane Marchand-Maillet
Program committee co-chairs
