Instructions for authors

Oral presentations
The plenary sessions will consist of short presentations of selected papers, see the programme.

Please check time and date of your presentation and your allocated time (10 or 15 minutes).

The file containing the PowerPoint presentation should be burned on to a CD-R disk and handed to the person responsible for the projection at the speakers preview room one session ahead of the session in which their presentation is scheduled, i.e. authors presenting during the morning sessions should hand out their presentations during the afternoon session a day before.

Digital projection facilities will be available, as well as an overhead projector. Please note: 35mm slide projection facilities will not be available. A standard IBM PC with MS PowerPoint 2003 will be used for the presentations. All presentations will be in English, and there will be no translation.

Please note carefully your allocated time. The programme is tight and the below mentioned timing will have to be strictly respected.

One minute is reserved for exchange of speakers and therefore please note that you have in fact only 9 and/or 14 minutes of time for your presentation. The speaker will be reminded 1 minute before the Chairperson will end the presentation.

Please let the Organising Committee know if you require any additional projection facility.
