Just a reminder that abstracts for the Ptolemy Miniconference are due next Monday, 11/29.
The abstract should consist of a title, the authors and a paragraph that describes the work. We will have both talks and posters, so please indicate if you are submitting for only a poster. _Christopher On 10/13/10 6:08 PM, Christopher Brooks wrote: > Call for Ptolemy Miniconference Poster and Presentation Abstracts > > > What: Ptolemy Miniconference > When: Abstracts due on November 29, 2010, Conference: February 16, 2011 > Where: Berkeley, CA > More information: http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptconf > > Please submit proposals for posters and presentations to > ptconf11 at ptolemy dot eecs dot berkeley dot edu > by > >>>>November 29, 2010<<<<< > > The Ninth Biennial Ptolemy Miniconference will be held on Wednesday, > February 16, 2011 at the University of California, Berkeley. > > (Note that the following day (Thursday, February 17, 2011) is the > Berkeley EECS Annual Research Symposium (BEARS) which is a > department-wide open house.
