Oral Presentations
Talks will be a total of 15 minutes in length, including questions and
discussion. Tutorial speakers are provided two consecutive slots. The
time limit will be strictly enforced to facilitate movement between
sessions.
Basic audio-visual equipment will be in each room, including an overhead
projector, 35 mm slide projector, and a screen. All special requests
(i.e. rental of VCR, monitor, audio systems, computers, provision of
extra power outlets, tables, stands, etc.) related to the presentation
of individual papers should be made at the time that the abstract is
submitted. Any costs will be billed to the abstract’s presenting author.
We have room for 7 concurrent sessions, so space for oral presentations
is limited. When completing the submission form, please check if you
prefer to do an oral or a poster presentation. This will assist the
selection committee in the proper placement of your paper. Our space
for posters is rather large and we have no restrictions to the number
of posters. Why not consider a poster at this meeting?
Poster Presentations
Poster space will be 1.39 m (height) by 1.23
m (width) in size. Poster sessions will be in a hall just opposite
the registration area and together with the exhibition. Each poster
will be exposed for 2 days.
