Important Submission Information

How to Participate

SIAM typically allows one talk per individual. (This does not apply to invited plenary speakers). The co-chairs of the organizing committee may make exceptions to this policy upon request. A poster may be presented in addition to a talk, provided the talk and the poster are on different results. All submissions are subject to review and final approval by the co-chairs. 

You are invited to contribute a presentation for this conference in one of the following formats.

Acceptance Notification

Authors will be notified by e-mail in March 2018.

Speaker Cancellation

The Conference Organizing Committee expects every speaker in a scheduled presentation to register and attend the conference.

If it becomes necessary for a speaker to cancel a presentation, he or she should try to find an alternate presenter immediately, preferably a co-author. See SIAM Policy on Substitute Speakers and Remote Presentations. Contact SIAM immediately with any change to a scheduled presentation.

A “no-show” or cancelled presentation can cause serious inconvenience to the attendees and conference organizers. The committee thanks all speakers in advance for their compliance to this request.

Additional Information

Minisymposia

A minisymposium generally consists of four 25-minute presentations, with an additional five minutes for discussion after each presentation. Minisymposia organizers can submit up to three (3) sessions per minisymposium, allowing up to 12 speakers.

Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not to exceed 1,500 characters including spaces), and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations using the Conference Management System available at: http://meetings.siam.org/start.cfm?CONFCODE=ed18
 
SIAM also requests speakers submit only one oral presentation for the conference, either a minisymposium presentation or contributed lecture.

It is recommended that a minisymposium organizer make the first presentation. Each minisymposium speaker should submit an abstract no longer than 1500 characters, including spaces. The organizing committee will referee minisymposium proposals. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the conference sessions.

To ensure balance, SIAM prefers that a single individual not be the organizer of more than one minisymposium, with a maximum of three parts (a total of twelve speakers). In addition, SIAM discourages minisymposia in which most of the speakers or co-authors come from the same institution.

Be certain to review Guidelines for Preparing a Minisymposium Proposal.

Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals: January 10, 2018 DEADLINE EXTENDED:  January 24, 2018
Deadline for submission of minisymposium speaker abstracts: January 31, 2018


Poster Minisymposia (Minisymposteria)

A minisymposium of posters (that is, a minisymposterium) consists of a collection of three or more posters by different presenters grouped around a central theme. The posters will be co-located in the poster viewing area.

To submit a Minisymposterium, organizers and poster participants must coordinate and do the following:

  1. Participants must submit their posters by January 31, 2018 using the Conference Management System (CMS): http://meetings.siam.org/start.cfm?CONFCODE=ed18. The poster title should be submitted as “Minisymposterium: [insert poster title]”.
  2. After the posters are submitted to the CMS, Organizers must send an email to [email protected] using the subject line "ED18 Minisymposterium – [insert minisymposterium title]." The email must include:
    1. Organizer name, affiliation, email address
    2. A short title for the minisymposterium
    3. A short description of the minisymposterium (less than 1500 characters, including spaces)
    4. Poster titles and presenters first name, last name, and affiliation for each poster scheduled within the minisymposterium

Deadline for submission of minisymposterium poster abstracts: January 31, 2018


E-Posters

An e-poster is a large electronic display that a laptop can be plugged into to show rich, interactive material at the poster session. The Conference on Applied Mathematics Education will have up to 5 e-poster displays. In order to select the presentations, we request a description of between 100-500 words explaining why your submission should be selected. Important information to include is a description of how you will take advantage of the electronic format to go beyond what is possible in a regular poster and also how you will distinguish what you'll do with an e-poster from a standard projector presentation. Please submit your explanation using the Google Form posted here. (link will be provided). 

In addition to completing the Google Form, participants must submit their poster abstracts by January 31, 2018 using the Conference Management System (CMS): http://meetings.siam.org/start.cfm?CONFCODE=ed18. The poster title should be submitted as “E-Poster: [insert poster title]”.

Deadline for submission of e-poster abstracts and e-poster utilization explanations: January 31, 2018

Notification of e-poster selections will be emailed by mid-April 2018.


Contributed Presentations in Lecture or Poster Format

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas consistent with the conference themes. A lecture format is generally a 15-minute oral presentation with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. Talk lengths will be determined by the co-chairs at the close of submissions. A poster format involves the use of non-electronic visual aids for mounting on a 4’ x 8’ poster board. A poster session is two hours long. Each contributor, either for a lecture or a poster, must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 1,500 characters, including spaces.

SIAM typically allows one talk per individual. (This does not apply to invited plenary speakers). The co-chairs of the organizing committee may make exceptions to this policy upon request.

A poster may be presented in addition to a talk, provided the talk and the poster are on different results. All submissions are subject to review and final approval by the co-chairs
