Allocations of presentation format will be made by the Program Committee, taking into account the recommendations made by referees. Allocations of "traditional" and "short" presentation formats will not necessarily correspond to the category of acceptance for the conference proceedings (a full paper may be allocated a short session, and a concise paper may be allocated a traditional session). Kind of presentation | Time allocation | Brief specification (see further specifications below) | Traditional | 25 minutes | Presenters may select any conventional style of presentation, but are very strongly urged to allocate at least one third of the time to interactive discussion. | Short | 15 minutes | Presenters may select any conventional style of presentation, but are very strongly urged to allocate at least one half of the time to interactive discussion. | Poster | Continuous, plus 1 program period exclusively for posters | Poster presenters are expected to be present at their posters for the whole of the program period that is reserved for posters. Please note that 'web presentation' is intended to be an integral part of 'poster presentation', being facilitated by later deadlines for submission of initial and final versions (see 'Publication formats' and 'Summary of program deadlines' above). | Workshop | Half day (3 hr) or full day (6 hr) | The time allocation does not include lunchtime (1 hr). We recommend that presenters adjourn for a 15-20 minute tea-coffee break at an appropriate stage. |
A laptop or desktop personal computer will be available in all of the presentation venues, together with data projection and Internet access. Further advice on facilities and presentation style will be given when offers of presentation format are made on 11 September 2005.
