One-minute Poster session:
All participants were invited to present a poster concerning their research. Every presenter of a poster received a one-minute slot in the conference programme (in a plenary session) to attract the attention to his or her poster. PDF files of the one-minute session can be found here.
The following posters were rated the best by a jury consisting of almost all keynote speakers and Bas van 't Hof from Vortech. This year there were two third price winners.
First price for Vandana Dwarka (TUD)
Second price for Prashant Kumar (CWI)
Third price for Merel de Leeuw den Bouter (TUD)
Third price for Pieterjan Robbe (KUL)
