The submission details for posters are the same as for the main refereed
papers track, except that the page limit is 2 pages (no extra pages can be
purchased), no revisions can be made to accepted posters, and an XHTML
version of accepted posters is not required.

Posters will be peer-reviewed by members of the Poster Committee based on
originality, significance, quality, and clarity.

Poster authors are not required to transfer copyright.  Authors of accepted
posters must sign and return a Permission and Release form.

Accepted poster papers will appear on the Conference CD and will be
accessible to the general public via http://www2003.org.  In addition to
the 2-page submission, accepted poster authors will be asked to generate a
full-size poster and possible demonstration to be displayed in a dedicated
poster area and presented during a poster reception at the conference.

To encourage poster submissions of good quality, a Best Poster Award and a
Best Student Poster Award will be presented at the conference.
