                                The poster session provides an excellent opportunity to present early-stage or ongoing
                                research, and to receive interesting and valuable feedback from conference attendees. We
                                also strongly encourage student and industry submissions. Topics of interest are the
                                same as those listed in the main conference call for papers. A <strong>Best Poster
                                    Award</strong> will be assigned by an independent review committee according to the
                                quality of research work and the quality of poster presentation.

                                Authors are required to submit a short paper describing the poster content.
                                Specifically, this paper should clearly state: <br>
                                (a) the research problem being addressed including the current state of the art, <br>
                                (b) what makes this problem relevant, important, and challenging, <br>
                                (c) the approach to the problem, <br>
                                (d) the key contribution, and <br>
                                (e) the expected results. <br><br>
                                Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not currently under
                                review for any other conference or journal. Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point
                                font using the 2-column IEEE conference format
                                <a href="https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html"

                                may not exceed 2 letter-size (8.5 x 11 in) pages, including figures and tables
                                (references may extend beyond this limit up to 1 more page).<br><br>
                                All papers should be written in English and submitted electronically in PDF format via
                                the submission site posted on this page. Authors do not submit the poster but only the
                                short paper describing in text what the poster would present. Submissions will be
                                peer-reviewed by a technical program committee and judged based on novelty, relevance,
                                technical strength, and potential to generate discussion. Papers not following these
                                guidelines may be rejected without review.

                                At least one of the authors of every accepted poster must register at the conference and
                                present the poster at the poster session. The recommended poster size is A0 (33.1 x 46.8
                                in, portrait orientation). The conference does not provide support for printing posters.
                                Typically, authors print their posters ahead of the conference.

                            The PhD Forum provides a unique opportunity for PhD students to present their research work
                            and receive constructive feedback from their peers as well as experts in the field
                            (academics and practitioners). It encourages interactions and helps students build networks
                            for their future careers.

                        <p>
                            The goal of this forum is to create opportunities for students to meet peers outside their
                            institution, get technical feedback and career advice from established researchers, explore
                            internship and job opportunities, and publicly articulate their research work. Presenters
                            are expected to be PhD students at any stage of their doctoral studies. Topics of interest
                            are the same as the main conference call for papers. Remote video presentation options may
                            be provided for authors unable to attend due to visa issues. A <strong>Best Student Paper
                                Award</strong> will be given based on research quality and presentation.
