Guidelines
Speakers
You are requested
to adhere to following guidelines:
a) There will
be LCD and overhead available for presenting your paper.
b) If you plan to make a PowerPoint presentation, please bring
transparency slides as a backup.
We have seen at several instances that PPT files simply do not
often open up!
c) Plan to be in the session at least 5 minutes prior to the
commencement of the session and introduce yourself to the Session
Chair.
d) You are encouraged to bring hard copies of your paper (30-40
copies recommended) for distribution to the audience. There
is no facility to make copies or overhead transparencies.
e) The session chair will divide available time to all speakers
equally. Please allocate five minutes of time allotted to you
for question-answers and use the rest of the time for presentation.
f) It is really critical that you stay within the time that
is allocated for your presentation in order to keep the program
on track. A 90 minute session will typically have 4-5 papers.
g) The session chair is in full control of the time management.
Please respect his/her directions.
