Requirements for abstracts
Thank you for your interest in the STC IT Conference 2005 program. Your proposal for papers/presentations must reflect real experiences that relate to one of the three streams of the conference theme. To prepare the agenda and schedule the list of presenters, your proposed abstract submission should follow the format described below:
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The title that you propose for your presentation as you would like it to appear in the program which will be posted at the conference Web site and on the brochures. |
| Presenter(s) | Names/title of individuals (author/co-author) who will make the presentation? |
| Language | Will the presentation be in English, French, or both? |
| Topic | The topic has to relate to the theme of the conference "Balancing Information Technology Value and Investment". The abstract describing the topic of your presentation should not be more than 200 words. |
As an example, consider:
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Achieving Efficiencies Through GRID Computing |
| Presenter(s) | Greg McLean and Pierre-Yves Caron; Division ABC, Statistics Canada |
| Language | Mr. McLean will present in English and Mr. Caron will present in French. |
| Topic | With today's declining budgets, higher volumes of data and reduced available processing time one must find ways to increase efficiency while keeping costs down. A grid computing solution can, under the right circumstances, reduce overall elapsed run times while leveraging existing hardware and software. Grid computing allows the processing of data to run in parallel on remote homogeneous or heterogeneous computers. This presentation will focus on how SAS works in the Grid Computing environment. Actual success stories, both within Statistics Canada as well as in the private sector, will be discussed. Finally, a beta version of a generalized SAS grid computing tool will be introduced. |
We require an abstract of your proposed presentation as soon as possible and no later than January 7, 2005, in either English or French.
The abstract will be used by the organizing committee as input, to prepare and publish the preliminary program on the STC web-site.
Outline for presentation requirements
Detail requirements for your presentation are attached as a separate document.
