Poster Session

The COMSNETS 2023 Poster Session is a forum to showcase preliminary/ongoing work in the area of computer networking and communications. COMSNETS being the premier venue for networking research in India and abroad, attracts a lot of researchers from both academia and industry. Therefore, poster presenters will benefit from lively discussions and critical feedback on their work in progress. In addition, all submissions will get detailed reviews from the poster reviewing committee.

Accepted posters will be published in the conference proceedings.

National/International travel grants will be available for a select number of poster authors. These grants will be awarded by a panel of judges.

Best Poster Awards will be awarded based on the poster session presentations by a panel of judges.

Accepted Posters

Please Note: At least one author per accepted paper (Main conference, Poster, Workshops, Demo) must register at the full rate, i.e., at Regular IEEE/ACM member rate, or at non-member rate​ even if he/she happens to be a student. In the case of an accepted paper with exclusively student authors (i.e., all authors are full-time students and no other co-authors), registration at the student rate is permissible.

Camera ready papers are due by Dec 15, 2022 (HARD DEADLINE). Please adhere to the instructions given on the website (https://www.comsnets.org/camera_ready.html) in preparing the camera ready manuscript.

Poster Format

Please prepare your posters in A0 paper size in portrait/landscape mode. You will need to bring a printed copy of your poster to the poster session. We will arrange for the necessary support system (poster stands, clips etc.). Please ensure to make your poster visually appealing. For instance, merely replicating the text of your abstract onto the poster is a bad idea. Instead, strive to have a continuous flow of ideas through numbers, figures, diagrams and graphs. Please visit this link to get an idea of the setup.

Poster prizes

Based on feedback from a panel of judges during the poster session, the three best posters will be awarded certificates. The awards will be presented at the conference banquet on Thursday, January 6th.
