Research Papers due September 18, 2006
Papers from undergraduate and graduate school women will be published in the conference proceedings. We invite submissions for two tracks:
- Technical papers in any area of computing, and
- Papers regarding social or ethical issues of computing, especially
gender issues.
Please adhere to the ACM
Publication Guidelines to format the paper. The length of the paper
should be at least two pages but no more than six pages.
Submit your paper
by
September 18, 2006. Papers will be lightly reviewed for
content and suitability only. Our goal is to mentor young researchers
and to encourage young women to gain confidence in the publication
process.
Research Posters
The research posters are more geared towards interesting class
projects, undergraduate/graduate research, and
works-in-progress.
Please register
your poster.
Lightning Talks
Lightning Talks are five minute mini presentations that can range
from a class project, research, inside information on how to survive a
computing major, programming tips, ideas on how to create a successful
women in computing group, etc.

Pair up with another women and present
together!

Please register
your lightning talk. Talk proposals will be accepted
on a rolling basis,
so the earlier you can submit a proposal, the better.
Birds of a Feather
Birds of a Feathers (BoFs) are informal discussion groups where groups
of people can talk about a specific issue or topic area. BoFs can be
lead by anyone to discuss anything related to computing, academia,
industry, or women in computing. Ideas for BoFs can be registered
at any time.
