Presentation Details
Oral presentation:

All the oral presentations should be developed using MS PowerPoint (limited to 20 minutes max including 5 minutes discussions). Projector, notebook, and cables will be available in each session room. However, each presenter is recommended to use his or her own notebook. If you will use the storage media such as USB Flash Drives (memory sticks), it should be given to respective session chairs at least 30 minutes before the commencement of the session. Overhead projectors will NOT be available to project transparencies.

Poster presentation:

(a) Poster board

Size of poster board: 90 cm (W)×180 cm (H)

Please prepare a poster to fit within the poster board. Poster can be prepared on ordinary A4 size papers. Larger sheets may also be used.

(b) Poster preparation

The posters should be prepared in manner that can be easily understood. The content of each poster should be clearly divided into sections, including abstract, introduction, results and conclusions.

Figures, photographs, etc. should be similar those in the proceedings of your paper for easy recognition by conference attendees. Suggested fonts are 96pt boldface Times New Roman for the paper title, and 72pt boldface Times New Roman for author name(s) and affiliation(s), and for headings such as ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION, EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS, DISCUSSION and CONCLUSIONS. Do not try to provide too much information on one sheet, because an overloaded poster rarely attracts attention.

(c) Poster arrangement

Each poster is identified by the poster number, which will be assigned by the Program Committee, and will appear in the conference program. Adhesive tapes for sticking the paper on the board will be provided at the Poster room.

The transport of posters to the conference is the responsibility of the authors. Please do not send your posters to the conference secretariat nor the conference site.
