How to Write Conference Papers.

How to Write Conference Papers

1. Find a topic (use the ChatGPT script below to help generate ideas):

  • Something you are interested in
  • Something related to your course or major
  • Something you have done in class (project, paper, etc.)
  • Something you want to learn more about
  • Something you want to share with others

2. Paper writing (see the PPTs and Template Files below):

  • Conference papers are usually 2-3 pages long
  • Journal papers are usually 4-6 pages long
  • Papers typically include:
    1. Abstract
    2. Introduction
    3. Related Work
    4. Methods
    5. Results
    6. Conclusion
    7. References

3. Presentation (preparing slides and practicing):

Poster presentations (most common)

  • A1 size or 8 A4 PPT slides (which together make an A1 poster)
  • Directions: After putting up your poster, you will stand by it and answer questions from attendees for about 30-45 minutes (but you can wander around and view other poster presentations when there are no questions)
  • A4 Slide Structure:
    1. Title (title, authors, affiliation)
    2. Abstract and Keywords
    3. Introduction (background, motivation, problem statement)
    4. Methods (how you did it)
    5. Methods II or Results I
    6. Results (what you found)
    7. Conclusion (summary, limitations, future work)
    8. References

Oral presentations (less common), usually 10-15 minutes long

  • Same slides as above, but in a different format (e.g., 10-15 PPT slides)
  • Be prepared to answer questions from the audience
  • Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know” if you don’t know the answer (the whole point is to learn what you don’t yet know, so you can continue researching)

ChatGPT Scripts to Help Generate Research Topics

Option 1

I am a university student looking for research paper topics related to
[ your major or field of study, e.g., computer science, engineering, psychology, etc.].

Please provide me with a list of 10 potential research topics that are relevant, interesting, and feasible for a student to explore. The topics should be specific enough to allow for focused research but broad enough to find sufficient resources. Additionally, please include a brief explanation (1-2 sentences) for each topic to help me understand its significance and potential research questions.

Option 2

I am preparing to write a short research paper (2-3 pages) for a conference in Korea (`정보통신공학회`). The paper can be about:
    - a conceptual design (idea for a system/app/device),
    - a literature review (summary of 2-5 related papers),
    - a simple program (small experiment with code/tools), or
    - a survey (ask classmates or friends a few questions).
Please help me find a research topic, paper title ideas, and possible directions for my abstract.

Here is some information about me:
    - Courses I have studied: [e.g., Data Structures, Computer Networks, AI basics]
    - Projects or assignments I have done: [e.g., simple Python programs, Arduino project, class presentations]
    - My skills or tools I know: [e.g., Python, C, MATLAB, Excel, Google Forms]
    - Topics I am curious about: [e.g., AI in education, cybersecurity, VR/AR, IoT, healthcare apps]
    - My future goals (optional): [e.g., Master’s in AI, career in cybersecurity, interest in healthcare technology]

Please suggest:
    1. 5-10 possible research topics that fit my background and interests.
    2. Example paper titles I could use.
    3. A few abstract ideas (1-2 sentences each).
    4. Some keywords I can search in Google Scholar to find related papers.
