SICE2003 Instructions to Speakers and Chairpersons

Instructions to Speakers:

(Language)

The language for your presentation is indicated in the Final Program. Please notify the secretariat in case it does not match your selection, and do not change it at your own will.

(Visual aids)

A multiprojector is provided for all technical sessions. It can be switched to works as either an OHP or PC projector (RGB, Mini D-Sub 15 pins), but not both at the same time. A VHS Video player (NTSC) is available for those speakers who have requested earlier.

(Time slot)

Each paper is allotted 20 minutes, 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion. However, organized sessions may adopt different time span. Please follow the organizer's instruction in such a case. Time keeping is left to the speaker.

(Check-in)

Please mark your arrival in the check-in list that will be found around the entrance of the session room. Speakers are expected to check in at least 5 minutes before the beginning of their technical sessions.

Instructions to Chairpersons:

(Language)

Please remember that a technical session may contain both English and Japanese presentations. Chairpersons are expected to use English as a rule. But, in question and answer session, only English may be used in English sessions and, on the other hand, an appropriate language may be used in Japanese and Japanese-English sessions for making it easy for the speaker and audience to interchange their opinion.

(Time management)

Please be punctual in keeping with the Time Table. In case there happens to be no show authors, leave the slot open as it is. Do not fill the slot by moving up the subsequent program. If a speaker spends more than 15 minutes on his or her talk, please give a caution to close the talk promptly. If the discussion continues over 20 minutes, please be sure to stop it with an adequate suggestion for further discussion.

(Request for recommendation for the Young Authors Awards)

Please recommend the candidate for SICE Young Authors Awards in some technical sessions, according to the request of SICE Awards Committee.

(Check-in)

Please mark your arrival in the check-in list that will be found around the general information desk. Chairpersons are expected to check in at least 10 minutes before the beginning of their technical sessions.
