Presentation

Contributed papers accepted for the Conference will be presented either orally or by poster. Oral presentations will be in the conventional format of a 10-minute talk by the registered author using an LCD projector, followed by a 2-minute discussion period. NOTE: ONLY LCD projectors will be provided. Authors are expected to bring their presentation on their own laptop computers along with a backup copy on a USB Drive in case of laptop failure. All Oral talks will be presented in this manner — NO OTHER PRESENTATION FORMAT IS AVAILABLE. Poster presentations will consist of well-prepared visual materials about the work posted on a designated board, with the author available to present details and answer questions during the selected poster session times. Simply posting a copy of the paper is NOT appropriate and will be treated as a NO SHOW. The surface area available for posters is 6' (180 cm) long by 4' (120 cm) high. The Conference provides a small sign designating the paper to be posted on each board, a covered table beneath each board for supplies, etc., and a small number of pushpins for posting the paper on the board. Authors are requested to indicate their preference for oral or poster presentations in the spot provided on the electronic form. The Program Committee will make the final decision on the assignment of papers to sessions and the presentation format for each session. In the e-mail notice of acceptance, authors will be notified of the type of session for their presentation. They will also receive a URL for detailed rules and instructions for effective presentation.
