ELIGIBILITY

Submissions should have at least one author who is a student during any part of the calendar year 2019. Submissions may have multiple student or non-student co-authors. Submissions must mark student authors with an asterisk (*).

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

In order to be considered for a poster at the Student Research Symposium, authors must submit papers, not exceeding five (5) letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages, in 11 or 12 point font, single-spaced, with 1” margins on all sides. Papers are to be submitted online in PDF format through Easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hipc2019.

The papers will be used to select posters, but will NOT be published in the conference proceedings. This will provide students the flexibility to publish an extended version of their paper at other venues, after benefiting from reviewer feedback from the symposium. Papers submitted to the symposium are expected to be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers. Papers will be judged on technical merit, quality, relevance to the symposium, and related parameters. Plagiarism, in any form, especially verbatim reproduction from other published works, is prohibited. Papers that are plagiarized will be rejected, and the corresponding department and institution will be notified.

Facilities for displaying posters will be made available, and the exact specifications of the poster size will be provided later. At least one student author of each paper that is accepted must register and attend the conference to present their work. Papers with no-shows will be retroactively rejected.

TRAVEL SUPPORT

We expect to provide a travel scholarship to at least one student author of each accepted submission from an Indian university, subject to availability of funding. This scholarship will cover partial expenses for attending the conference. Further details on this scholarship and the application process will be provided later.
