The time reserved for an invited talk is 40 min (talk) + 5 min (questions) = 45 min. Any invited talk is expected to have enough tutorial content, too, that is, not complicated formulas, only. Naturally, however, since SCEE 2008 is a scientific conference, the talk can also include some "tough science", where appropriate.
Please see all other details from Oral presentation below.
The time reserved for an oral talk is 25 min (talk) + 5 min (questions) = 30 min. Please note that the audience has a rather diverse background. Therefore, reserve also some time for explaining the background and motivation of your work, before going into the scientific/technical details.
Lecture hall E is equipped with a digital projector, local PC (MS Windows operating system with Adobe Acrobat Reader & MS Powerpoint), and overhead projector. So, the following presentation (slide) formats are supported:
Please have a look at the Program to see which day and time you are presenting. Please show up at Lecture hall E about 10 minutes before the beginning of your session (that is, at 08:50 or 13:50) and contact both the computer assistant and the session chairman.
Note that a SCEE 2008 Best Poster Prize will be awarded at the conference closing ceremony on Friday 03.10. at 12:45. The best poster will be selected by the Program Committee.
The overall poster presentation consists of the following two presentations:
Please have a look at the Program to see which day and times you are presenting.
1. Short poster presentation
Here, the purpose is just to draw attention to your actual poster. You will have no more time than two (2) minutes. So, please focus on interesting things like problem definition, solution method, and results. (Do not waste your 120 seconds for sentences like "I come from institute A, division B, group C, and this work is based on a collaboration between institutes A, D, and E via the projects F, G, and H during years X-Y" or for null statements like "If you are interested, then please come to see my poster".) In any case, stop talking immediately when the chairman signals.
IMPORTANT: Here (as opposed to a 30 min oral talk), your 1-2 slides should be physical slides that are shown using an overhead projector, in order to enable fluent flow of about 15 presentations in 30 minutes!
2. Actual poster presentation
The available poster-board space for poster presentation is 117 cm (width) x 148 cm (height); that is, there is enough space for an A1-size poster (59.4 x 84.1 cm) or even A0-size poster (84.1 x 118.9 cm). The organizers will provide the needles, etc. for attaching/fixing the posters.
It is strongly recommended that you create a single large poster (e.g., A0 or A1). Another, marginally accepted, option is to create and fix a "poster" from several slide-like sheets of paper. (However, please do not just post the 1-2 pages of your Abstract!)

You can selectively apply the hints/instructions/rules found from these links. However, these do not override the SCEE 2008 poster-preparation hints/instructions/rules.
