Oral presentation schemes

The time allotted to each oral presentation is:
Invited papers 30 min including 5 min discussion
Contributed papers 20 min including 5 min discussion

Both overhead projector and LCD projector will be available. Those who wish to use an LCD projector should bring their own computers. In order to avoid trouble, the organizers ask all oral speakers to bring overhead projector sheets even if they will use the LCD projector. To save your presentation time, please start up your computer before talk if you will use it.
We also strongly recommend that you bring a copy of electrical file of your presentation stored in a memory media like CD-ROM and USB memory stick. This will help you (and us!) when your laptop PC suddenly stops during your presentation.
