Oral Presentations

Media: Oral presentations can be made via transparencies on an overhead projector or using a computer projection system (Acrobat, Netscape or PowerPoint). No slide projector or video projector will be available unless the workshop organizers are notified by June 15.

Length: Oral presentations are allotted 20 minutes. The presentation should be 15 minutes or less. The remaining 5 minutes is for questions and to change speakers. Please do not plan a talk longer than 15 minutes (15-25 slides).

Computer Projection: Netscape, Adobe Acrobat or PowerPoint may be used for computer presentations.

• Loading on the Computer: Please email your presentation to marques@fa.upc.es so that it can be loaded on the workshop laptop computer prior to the workshop. Or bring a CD-ROM when you register so that we can load the presentation on the laptop before the conference begins. (Please do not plan to use your own laptop to avoid time-consuming set-up between speakers.)
• Pre-Workshop Testing: Different versions of the projection software may perform differently. Therefore, it is advisable to email us your presentation (including animations if any) to test that it works properly on our computers. Email your presentation (or a portion of it) to marques@fa.upc.es so that it can be tested on the workshop laptop computer prior to the workshop.

Poster Presentations

Schedule: All posters will be presented on Friday evening (July 4) from 18 to 19. Poster authors are expected to remain near their poster.
