Oral Presentations
The official language of the Symposium is English. Each oral presentation is allocated a 20-minute time slot. These 20-minutes must include the presentation, questions, any discussion, and the transition to the next presentation. It is strongly recommended that speakers plan on a 15-16 minute presentation to allow 4-5 minutes for questions.
Presenters should be in the session room 15 minutes before the session begins to meet with the session chair, who should be near the stage/lectern. Presentation shall be uploaded to the computer in the session room via either CD-ROM or USB flash memory stick during the break before the session. Presenters are advised when uploading their presentations to check if formulas/animations are shown correctly. A speaker ready room equipped with computers and LCD displays is also available on the second floor for the presenters to check their presentations.
Each session room will be equipped with a personal computer/LCD projector, a microphone, and a pointing device. The software installed on the computer includes:
- Windows 7
- MS Office 2010 Professional (PowerPoint)
- Adobe Acrobat Reader X
- Internet Explorer 8
- Windows Media Player 12
The media player is only available with the standard codecs. Use of standard True Type font is suggested for Power Point presentations. In the case Power Point contains videos, please ensure that both files (Power Point and Video) are in the same folder.
Presentations from personal laptops are not allowed, to ensure smooth program running to minimize transition time between presentations. The possibility to present from PCs other than the session room PC is not foreseen.
All papers must be presented at the assigned session in order to be included in the final proceedings appearing in IEEE Xplore and ISAP Archives. The session chair(s) for your session will have a Feedback Form where they will mark whether or not your paper was presented at the session. If the Form indicates that the paper was not presented, it will be automatically withdrawn from appearing in IEEE Xplore and ISAP Archives.
Poster Presentations
Poster sessions are a good medium for authors to present papers and meet with interested attendees for in-depth technical discussions. In addition, attendees find the poster sessions a good way to sample many papers in parallel sessions. Thus it is important that you display your message clearly and noticeably to attract people who might have an interest in your paper.
Your poster should cover the key points of your work. It need not, and should not, attempt to include all the details; you can describe them in person to people who are interested. The ideal poster is designed to attract attention, provide a brief overview of your work, and initiate discussion. Carefully and completely prepare your poster well in advance of the conference. Try tacking up the poster before you leave for the conference to see what it will look like and to make sure that you have all of the necessary pieces.
For each paper accepted within a poster session, one poster board in portrait format is reserved with a dimension of 150 cm (width) x 210 cm (height). Information about the location of the poster is provided at the entrance of the poster area (the 2nd floor in the 2nd building).
Poster shall be on display during the day dedicated to the specific poster session. Authors are invited to be on stand-by near their poster during the session breaks and must be near their poster during the dedicated poster sessions (16:00-17:40 on 10/31 and 16:00-17:40 on 11/1). All papers must be presented in person at the symposium in order to be included in the final proceedings appearing in IEEE Xplore and ISAP Archives.
The session chair(s) for your session will have a Feedback Form where they will mark whether or not your paper was presented during the session. If the Form indicates that the paper was not presented, it will be automatically withdrawn from appearing in IEEE Xplore and ISAP Archives. Thus, during your session, please approach the session chair and make sure that he/she has marked your presence.
