Presentation Guidelines

Oral Presentation Guidelines

Each paper in an oral session is allocated 24 minutes. This includes time required for introduction of the speaker, as well as time for questions from the audience. Therefore authors are advised to prepare a 20-minute talk and leave some time for questions at the end.

Each lecture room will be equipped with a computer and a data projector. Authors need to copy their presentations to the computer at the Lecture Room at least 10 minutes in advance of the session in which their paper will be presented. Each lecture room will have a student volunteer that can help to provide technical support.

The formats that are allowed for presentations are Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) and Portable Document Format (.pdf). In both cases, if the authors have a video or an audio file embedded in the presentation we recommend to use a video and audio codec compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint.

Authors needing any special audio or visual equipment must contact the Local Chair by Jun. 15, 2011 to indicate their request.
