The 2007 IEEE ISPLC support staff will provide you with velcro stickies to attach your poster to the poster boards.

 
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
 

The working language of the Conference is English and will be used for all printed material, presentations and discussions.

20 minutes (including 5 minutes for Q&A) has been allowed for the presentation of your contribution, and this time allocation must not be exceeded.

To make the most of the presentation time, you may find the following guidelines to be helpful:

• Speak clearly and avoid colloquial English – not all delegates use English as their native language.
• Summarize your written paper and present any updated material and results. The focus should be on the basic concepts and conclusions, rather than the details.
• Please note that questions may be taken following your presentation, this should be accounted for during the preparation of your presentation.

The Session Chairs have been asked to be strict with their time keeping of presentations, this will enable delegates to walk between sessions and attend the presentations of their choice.

It is therefore imperative that you do not exceed your time allocation.

For 2007 IEEE ISPLC we will permit the use of PDF and PowerPoint presentations.
 

USEFUL PRESENTATION TIPS:

DO NOT PUT TOO MUCH INFORMATION ON VISUAL AIDS:

• A maximum of six or seven lines including the title (not more than 20 words).
• Avoid abbreviations, mathematics and tables of results (graphs or histograms are much better).
• Lettering should be lowercase, medium or bold and at least
  
  “this size” (Arial 22)
   
• NEVER USE:
  • computer printouts
  • photocopied pages of books
  • hand-drawn transparencies
• Keep diagrams as simple as possible
• Company logos, if used, should be of a modest size.

 
PRESENTATION OF POSTER CONTRIBUTIONS
 

At 2007 IEEE ISPLC there will two poster sessions on Tuesday, March 27, between 14:20 to 16:00.

You are requested to set up your display at your earliest convenience on Tuesday and remove it until 18:00 pm.

A display board approximately 4' high and 4' wide will be provided for your poster display.

In addition to your written paper included in the Conference publication, the poster session is your opportunity to present your work directly to other registrants and to discuss it with them.
It is a particularly useful format for small group discussion and debate.

Try to attract the registrants to your stand. Unless they come to it, you cannot expect to have a discussion with them.
The display should therefore be visually appealing and should contain the essence of your paper in a form that is easy to understand.

Your display should consist chiefly of keywords, diagrams, photographs, etc. Color photographs are particularly attractive in a poster display.

Diagrams and graphs should have clear captions. All lettering should be easy to read. Handwritten text or diagrams are not recommended.
All graphs and diagrams should be drawn with thick lines (preferably 1mm or more in width). Use color to emphasize important features.

The poster display is important. You are recommended to take as much trouble with it as you did in preparing your written paper.
