Oral Presentation
Oral presentation consists of 20 minutes for presentation of the problem, the background, the innovative approach, the new results and the comparative evaluation. Additional 10 minutes are available for discussion with the attendees.
To perform the presentation, the following equipment will be available in the conference room:
- overhead projector,
- personal computer (with MS Windows operating system) and computer projector
The presenter should prepare a reasonable number of transparencies or electronic slides, so as not to exceed the 20 minute time. Typically, 1 transparency/slide is presented in 1 minute. Additional transparencies/slides could be prepared to support possible answers to attendees' questions.
Each transparency/slide should not be overcrowded by text and graphics. Too much text should be avoided: transparencies/slides should support the presentation, they should not be simply read by the presenter.
Graphics help in communications, are more understandable, and point out the basic ideas.
Use large fonts so as they are readable without efforts: typically 18-20 point fonts should be used.
Presentation should be clearly structured.
Begin with a title page.
The index of the presentation should outline of the presentation.
The basic problem should be clearly stated, as well as the application area.
The background and previous work should be summarized to provide a prospective for the results presented in the paper.
The innovative approach should be clearly stated.
The application of the approach to the application problem should be described, by pointing out the main features and characteristics, the problems and the solutions.
The results should be clearly outlined and evaluated. Appropriate comparisons with previous results should be presented.
Conclusions should summarize the work performed and point out the main innovation and results. Future work and developments could also be sketched.
If you prefer the computer presentation, the acceptable formats are MS Powerpoint 2003 and PDF if you will use the computer made avalable by the organizers.
