Technical issues and remarks for presenters
We will have a video projector and laptops equipped with CD drives. There is a current version of PowerPoint installed on the laptops (not Powerpoint 2003!) as well as Adobe Acrobat Reader, thus it would suffice to bring a CD with you if you do not want to bring your laptop with you. (But, just in case, prepare a second CD as backup ...)
Each presenter of a full paper has about 20 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion. Regarding the statements of interest, it is up to the presenter how he spends his 10 minutes time slot.
