long paper (full paper), short paper, poster abstract

计算机会议paper基本分long paper (full paper), short paper, poster abstract。有些会议只有long paper，有些有long, short，有些三种都有。

三种类型一般都是peer review的，但是总体来讲，long paper的质量比short paper高，short paper比poster高。Short paper 和poster是发表一些阶段性研究，或者不是很重大研究成果的方式。有些会议的short paper,poster发表在Proceeding里面，全文收录在网络数据库，有些不包括。

一些比较有名的会议，long paper录取率很低，short paper录取率也不高。大家可以google一下：http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="short+paper"+"acceptance+rate"

当然，在列自己的论文时候，short paper, poster一定需要注明，为了区别long paper。网上随处可见规范的注明方式，例如:

关于Short paper会议的举例：
(1) Eurographics 2009。就是大家说的这个会议。
http://www.eurographics2009.de/calls/short_papers/index.html
Authors are invited to submit proposals for short presentations of recent results, work in progress, and new ideas. Papers should be no longer than 4 pages, and accepted papers will be published in the Short Papers proceedings of the conference.

关于short paper提交的要求：
http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_EG2009S/subinstructions.html

All contributions submitted to Eurographics 2009 (Short Papers) must be original, unpublished work and should not exceed 4 pages. Any work that has previously been published or simultaneously been submitted in substantially similar form to any other conference or journal will be rejected.

Attention: this event uses a double blind reviewing approach

（2）ACM CSCW 会议，short paper 又叫Notes，是同行评审，并且可以评选最佳Notes。参见：http://www.cscw2006.org/awards.html

（3）ACM MM会议，short paper就是poster。（Short Papers will be presented in poster format and are an opportunity for researchers to present new work and ideas in an interactive setting）.Short paper是同行评审过的。

（4）ACM SIGMETRICS。2000年会议，long paper接受率17.0%，总体接受率，包括short paper 23.6%

有兴趣大家可以收索一下。计算机的会议和其他的科学很不同。绝大多数情况下，最著名的会议代表的就是最前沿的研究成果。什么SCI收录，什么EI收录，什么期刊比会议重要，全是胡扯。
