As an adjunct to the scheduled presentations, the Programme Committee will incorporate a poster presentation session in this workshop. The poster session will allow participants an opportunity to present additional new ideas to those interested. The poster session is scheduled from 5:15 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Monday, 3 November 2008.
All participants are encouraged to prepare and bring a poster to the workshop. Posters will be on display for the entire workshop period and provide participants an excellent opportunity for networking.
As with the session discussions, the poster session will be conducted off the record to encourage frank discussion and presentation of unconfirmed or partial results. Presentations on both research and field experience are solicited.
The poster display should be designed for eye-level viewing and made from simple graphic materials. Size of the poster board will be advised at a later time. The poster display may include printed materials, tables, graphs, photographs, or illustrations. All the materials should be of sufficient size so as to be easily read and should be prepared in a manner that will accomplish the following:
Whether or not you elect to participate in the poster session or have been invited by the Programme Committee to present during one of the regular sessions, please come prepared to participate actively in the discussions. Open interaction is encouraged. With the full cooperation and participation of all attendees, we anticipate an outstanding workshop.

Note that the Workshop Programme Committee will review all posters prior to display, and reserves the right to refuse permission to display any poster considered by the committee to be commercial in nature.
