Early Research Achievements Track

The Early Research Achievements (ERA) Track aims at providing researchers with a forum for discussing novel research ideas in early stages of development. The topics of interest for this track are the same as the main research track, but we aim at creating a stimulating atmosphere where researchers can present and get early feedback on promising work that has not yet been fully evaluated.

Presentation and publication

ERA papers will be presented at CSMR 2012 as formal presentations and as posters. You are expected to prepare and bring a poster to the conference highlighting your results. The ERA poster session of the conference will be held Thursday in the afternoon. The size of poster stands is: height 105cm, width 134cm.
