The call for abstracts is open
You can submit an abstract for reviewing.
Submission deadline: 17 May 2024
Abstract guidelines
Selection of talks and posters will be made on the basis of submitted abstracts. Parallel talks and posters will be organised in nine tracks, as indicated in the table below.
Exceptional contributions may be accepted as plenary talks by the Program Committee.
Please consider the following points for your contribution:
- The recommended length of an abstract is 100-250 words, but there is no hard limit.
- Carefully select a track. This decision should be based on what problem it tries to solve, not which tool is used for it. For example, "ML-based simulation of detector interactions" goes into the simulation track.
- If you have difficulty selecting a track from the list, please send an email to chep2024-abstracts@cern.ch explaining the problem.
Make sure that email addresses of submitters and those of the proposed presenters are checked regularly.
We specifically encourage submissions on topics addressing the efficiency of software and computing, as well as the current and future impact on the software and computing landscape in HENP.
