How to present Paper Presentation @ College Symposiums

Hello friends,

The most obvious question rises to a person when said about a Inter College Symposiums or An International or national Conference is that whether could I participate in and present a paper. But most of them stop only with thinking because there is no guidance of how to do it and the procedures to do it.

So I've decided my self to post about it here in this Blog. There are about 7 abstacles to cross before you come to the fruit of presenting paper.

Step (i) :Selection of the TOPIC

The first Step is that you should decide the Topic of your Interest..

As I'm from the field of Information Technology (Combination Of Computers and Communication), the topics/themes I would research on are :

• Image Processing and Printing (With a focus on mobile and web based printing solutions)
  

• Internet Based Communications

• Web Services

• Network Security

• Innovative Application Development using:

- J2EE Architecture

- Microsoft

- Freeware

• Analysis on Performance of Freeware Tools

• Cryptography

• Multimedia and Gaming

• Open Source Applications

• Multi-Core Architectures

• Server Virtualization

• Software as a Service

• Nano Technology

• Embedded Technology

• Software Testing

• Automated Software Testing of Applications

It is not a compulsion that you stick only to this topics.... Sky is the limit for your thinking.

Step (ii) : Researching

Research about the topics which you have chose. That is get all the information about the topic from the core of it to the latest trend in it...

There are various source of searching. Leaving out Google see the below links also for the search:

Google Patent Search

Wikipedia

Answers.com

So now you would have got a instinct or the spirit of innovation...... Now create a new idea of your in this field..

p.s: there are two types of paper you cant present. The first one is the presentation of your own idea that is your own research or innovation...... The second one is the review of the latest innovations and the way to improve it... The first one is the best, go for the second type only if you don't get the innovative idea.

Step (iii) : Abstract Preparation

Prepare an ABSTRACT of the idea you gonna do...

The format for the abstract is:
The abstract should not be longer than one page(i.e) approx:300-450 words.

Font - Times New Roman

Font size - 12pt

Line Spacing 1.5pt

All margins - 1”

Text Alignment - Justified

Remeber that your abstract Must outline the following very clearly:

• Objectives


• Methodology


• Major outcomes expected


• Practical implication

I've put up an sample abstract here.(This was one of my old paper)






Step (iv): Mailing the abstract

Once you have finished the abstract you should mail/send post to the corresponding address they have mentioned...

The way and medium of sending abstract differs from college to college.

And if the conveyor likes your abstract they will ask you to present the paper... This correspondence takes a time, so keep on working on the paper don't wait for them to reply.

Step (v) : Preparation of Paper

This is the most important time consuming and difficult step. Your paper should be prepared i such a way that it should consists all the things sorted in the following order..

Title

Introduction

Objectives

Review of Literature

Methodology

Findings and Analysis

Conclusions

Implication/Application

Limitations

References/Bibliography

Should not be more than 3500 words including references/bibliography.
