Abstract Guidelines

The purposes of a conference abstract are:

• to help reviewers determine whether the presentation would be suitable for ISIMS conference and if so, find the best placement for the presentation within the technical program.

• to guide attendees towards expectations of the presentation and identify potential collaboration opportunities.

What are reviewers looking for? An abstract that

• can be understood as a standalone text.

• is written in complete sentences, with acronyms spelled out the first time it is introduced.

• contains sufficient information to let readers understand what the presentation will be about (e.g., what problem the study is attempting to solve) and the impact it brings - in no more than 500 words. 

• does not disparage other studies/methods/technologies. It is fine to brag about your invention, but please be respectful.

Full talks are 15-25 minutes in length, followed by 5 minutes of questions. Lightning talks are 5-10 minutes in length, followed by 5 minutes of questions, and may be suitable for first-time presenters. Poster presentations are typically suitable for research topics that would benefit from one-on-one discussions with conference attendees. If you are not sure which type of presentation to choose, please contact the conference organizer.
