TECHNICAL PROGRAMME
Symposium starts on Wednesday, June 11th and closes on
Friday, June 13th, 2008. First registration is scheduled on
Tuesday, June 10th, in the afternoon. Scientific
contributions are scheduled in oral or in dialogue (poster)-sessions. In
both cases, the presence of the authors is necessary, at least one per
paper. The papers are scheduled for oral presentation in Room A (1st
floor), in Room B (1st floor) or in Room C (ground floor)
according to information on the timetable. Dialogue (poster)
presentations are scheduled in the Poster Area at the ground floor.
ORAL PRESENTATION OF THE PAPERS
Videoprojectors + personal computers are available in the conference
rooms A, B and C. Speakers can use their own laptop (mobile computer).
Otherwise they can use either a DVD/CD-Rom or USB PEN-Drive on the
room-computer, where Microsoft Power Point 2007 and Acrobat Reader 8.0
are installed. Please do not include audio data. All presentation files
will be deleted at the end of the Symposium and no copy will be saved.
The time scheduled for each presentation is about 15 min. Questions to
the authors is welcome: they can be allowed at the end of each
presentation or at the end of the session, according to the decision of
the chairman. Speakers are kindly invited to complete (typewriting or
using capital letters) the form “Speaker Information Sheet” available on
the SPEEDAM website or at the Conference Desk. The data of this form are
useful to the chairman in order to correctly introduce the speaker of
the paper. The file containing the paper presentation can be sent to the
SPEEDAM secretariat by e-mail (speedam@unina.it) not later than May 31st
2008; the e-mail “subject” must be “papernumber – Presentation”. The
organizers recommend speakers to bring a backup copy (DVD, CD-Rom or USB
PEN-Drive) of their presentation at the conference. The presentation
file can be also directly transferred on the computer storage unit at
the secretariat desk during registration or at arrival time. In this
case, the file must be named “papernumber – Presentation” and clearly
marked on the DVD/CD cover, together with the speaker name. On the day
of their presentation, speakers are also invited to contact their
session-chairman at the “chairmen meeting point” 15 minutes before the
starting of the session. Both chairmen and speakers are requested to
respect scheduled times.
DIALOGUE PRESENTATION OF THE PAPERS
The poster should be in maximum A0 (84 cm x 120 cm) format and only
vertically oriented. No specific guidelines are provided for preparation
of the poster. Speedam organizers suggest only to clearly show the title
(minimum 72 pt) and authors name + affiliation (minimum 48 pt) and to
use at list a 24 pt font for the body-text and figure captions. At least
one author per paper must be present during the dialogue session (90
min). Posters have to be placed in the reserved space from 60 min to 30
min before the session starting and removed in 60 min after the session.
Otherwise posters will be destroyed by organizers. In the Poster Area
authors will find everything they need to fix poster on their locations.
