The conference includes both regular papers (30 minutes) and short papers (15 minutes).   Please allocate five minutes for questions.  The sessions within each track will be either 90 or 120 minutes.

Special session and invited papers may have a different duration.

There are two methods for giving your presentation at ICCD 2003:  video projection from your laptop or overhead projector with transparencies.  Laptop projection from Powerpoint or PDF is strongly preferred. A video projector will be provided in each session room, but you must use your own laptop computer; a PC will not be available.  ICCD does not support using 35mm slide projection.

The usual guidelines for preparing your slides apply:

• Use Large, Bold fonts as much as possible.

• Use fonts that display well at low resolution. Sans serif fonts such as
  "Helvetica'' work better than ones with detailed features such as "Times.'' 

• Avoid using busy foils; incorporate one idea per slide and use less text and more pictures

• Avoid using the bottom of slides since the rooms are flat

• Use simple and contrasting colors. Avoid using red over blue or vice versa

• Pay attention to contrast, employ light-on-dark, or dark-on-light in all text and diagrams

While attending the conference, there will be a room available to check your slides.  Each session will have a session chair, who can also assist with any questions. 

For contact information on your session chair, or if you have any special A/V requirement, please send email to the Technical Program Chair: tdill@east.sun.com .
