Call for Papers - Science Track at The 2024 Perl & Raku Conference

The 2024 Perl & Raku Conference is including a new third track for papers and posters focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics topics in industry, government, and academia. This track is in addition to the traditional two tracks, which are focused on Perl & Raku, respectively. All accepted papers will be published together in a Conference Proceedings and available electronically for free online.

CALL FOR PAPERS NOW OPEN!

This track will provide a professional and academic venue for presenting computational work and methods. If you are unsure of whether your submission will qualify for this track, please contact the Program Committee.

The Paper or Poster
Our program committee will carefully evaluate each submission’s overall quality, research scope, and potential appeal to the Perl & Raku community, and check its technical content and pedagogical approach.

Track Proceedings

The papers and posters will be collected into an open-access Conference Track Proceedings which will be available online.

Full-length talk presentation guidelines

15 to 20 slides, bullet points only, 30- to 50-point font

When publishing the presentation artifacts online, please upload a repository with any code examples and how to run them. These can either be a set of scripts with documentation for installation and running or as a notebook documentation format such as Jupyter Notebooks (for example with the IPerl kernel). This is to make it easier for the code to be runnable outside of the presentation.

Paper guidelines

15 to 20 pages, single-spaced, 12-point font
20 to 40 references, half academic papers, half other resources

Poster guidelines

36” x 48” or 42” x 56” size
20 to 40 references, half academic papers, half other resources

Tips for Submitting a Proposal

In your abstract, be sure to include answers to some basic questions:

Who is the intended audience for your talk?
What, specifically, will attendees learn from your talk?

Ensure that your talk will be relevant to a broad range of people. If your talk is on a particular package or piece of software, it should be useful to more than a niche group.
Include links to source code, articles, blog posts, or other writing that adds context to the presentation.

If you’ve given a talk, tutorial, or other presentation before, include that information as well as a link to slides or a video if they’re available.

Your talk should not be a commercial for your company’s product. However, you are welcome to talk about how your company solved a problem, or notable open-source projects that may benefit attendees.


Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback. You may send your questions or comments to science@perlcommunity.org.

Thank you,

Brett Estrade
Chairman
Science Perl Committee
