All Stanford students and post-docs are encouraged to submit abstracts for presentation at BCATS 2002. For all presentations, the author must submit an abstract describing their work and be present at the conference. The topic should be related to biomedical computation. There are two categories of submission.

Please target your presentation towards a broad audience due to the diverse background of the BCATS attendees.

Scientific talks will be 10 minutes followed by 5 minutes of questions. Presenters are encouraged to also have a poster (or slide hardcopies mounted as a poster) during the poster session to field further questions. We regret that only a small number of students will be able to talk at the conference. Submissions for talks will be considered for a poster/demo presentation if they are not accepted for talk.

Poster space will be approximately 145 cm (4 ft) high by 110 cm (3 ft) wide. Either easels or flat boards plus pins/adhesive will be provided to display posters.

For software demonstrations, presenters can request table space in addition to presenting a poster. Software demonstrations will be allowed on a space-available basis only and will require that the presenter have a poster describing their work. Software demonstration space will be (by default) approximately half of a 6 foot long table, and power will be provided. Special arrangements must be made for other space requirements. At this time we also expect to provide RJ45 Ethernet access, but please check back (verification of that is still in progress).

Abstract submissions are now closed. Submitters will be notified of their acceptance by October 15, 2002. You can still register for the conference if haven't done so yet.
