Unless otherwise indicated in the program, oral presentations will be timed as follows:
* Contributed talks: 15 min. slot = 12 min. talk + 3 min. question period
Session chairs will ensure that oral presentations keep to the published schedule. In the event that a speaker fails to appear, the session will either be recessed until the start of the next scheduled talk, or the session chair may elect to open a discussion of earlier presentations.
All of the conference rooms are equipped with:
* Overhead projector
* PC (Windows XP with the Office 2003 suite)
* Overhead data projector with a standard RGB connector (Mac users MUST bring their video adaptor)
* AV technical assistant
Large theatres are also equipped with microphones. For smaller classrooms, microphones are available upon request at least 48hr ahead of time.
Oral presenters are encouraged to bring their presentations on a USB memory stick, CD or DVD in one of the formats compatible with the recent versions of:
* acrobat reader v. 7
* Microsoft office 2003
You are welcome to bring your own laptop computer; Mac users should bring their own video adaptors.
If you plan to use your own PC or Mac for a presentation, make sure you contact the AV technical assistant in your room 15 minutes before your session starts, in order to pre-connect your laptop to the multimedia system and test your presentation. Since all talks must keep to the schedule, any time lost in setting up your computer will reduce the time available for your talk. If you need a codec to run video clips, please contact us at

before your arrival at the conference.
Student presentations will be judged by faculty and graduate students with prizes given for the best student talk.
