WSDM 2019: Research Papers Schedule


Papers will be communicated as either 15 minute oral presentations (including brief questions); or as 5-minute oral presentations (no questions). All papers will also be allocated a poster slot on the day of their oral presentation. The selection of presentation mode has been made by the Program Chairs based on the content and breadth of interest of the material, and is not a reflection of paper quality. All papers have equal status in terms of reviewing process and acceptance outcomes.

Authors of all papers are expected to prepare a poster for display throughout the day of their oral presentation, and to be available to interact at their poster during the afternoon tea break of that day. Posters should be either A0 or A1 landscape format, or A1 portrait format.

All keynote, invited, and research paper presentations will take place in Room 109/110 (combined) on Level 1 of the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center.

An overview schedule for the whole conference is provided here.
