CS Research Symposium

The CS Research Symposium is an annual event, typically scheduled at the end of Spring semester. 

Submission Types

  • Full-length research paper
    • A full paper submission is expected to be a substantial work that may well be expanded into a workshop, conference, or journal submission, typically involving one or more undergraduate/gradaute students and one or more faculty members.
    • Papers not involving department faculty members should be submitted to the technical report category.
    • These submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 faculty to determine suitability for inclusion as a research paper.
    • Accepted research papers are required to produce a 10-minute video for the annual symposium.
  • Technical report
    • A technical report may have the seeds of a research paper but is primarily focused on implementation.
    • Technical reports typically address work performed during independent study or an internship and may/may not be suitable for submission in workshops, conferences, or journals.
    • This category is for those who have conducted work without any mentoring/supervision.
    • These submissions are reviewed primarily for technical soundness, style, and clarity.
    • Accepted technical reports may optionally include a 5-minute video for the annual symposium.
  • Demonstration
    • Demonstrations are primarily foucsed on presentation as opposed to writing a paper.
    • Demonstrations typically address work performed during independent study or an internship and may/may not be suitable for submission in workshops, conferences, or journals.
    • This category is for those who have conducted work without any mentoring/supervision.
  • Posters
    • Posters are primarily foucsed on display as opposed to a paper or a presentation.
    • Posters can either be independent efforts or teamwork involving other students and faculty.
    • Accepted posters may optionally include a 5-minute video for the annual symposium.

Requirements

  • Regardless of the submission type, the work submitted must include all who were involved in creating the work.
  • Reesarch papers must be prepared using one of the IEEE Templates (or a LaTeX template suitable for conferences/journals in your faculty member’s research area.)
  • Technical reports are strongly encouraged to use the ArXiv tempalte. You may use Word or Google Docs but must make every attempt to ensure a professional appearance with consistent formatting.
  • Demonstrations should be made available in an appropriate video format (.ogg, .mp4)
  • Posters may be prepared using any desired tool.

 

How to Submit

  • Once you have created your document and/or videos, use a service such as Figshare or ArXiv to upload your paper.
  • Your submission must include all appropriate bibliographic data, starting with your own name, co-authors, including other students/faculty who worked with you.
  • Submit your entry to the Digital Commons CSRS collection. [coming soon]
  • Submissions will be reviewed by the committee for inclusion in the collection and for presentation at the annual celebration. If live, authors are invited to participate in the Q&A session after their video is presented at the annual celebration.
