Speaker Instructions

Pre-conference Preparation

  1. Please check the full program for the time and location of your session and the session chair(s) ahead of time. All the times on the website are local times in Barcelona.
  2. Please upload a plain-text (.txt) file containing the speaker’s name, affiliation, presentation title, and a one-sentence bio that the Session Chair can use to introduce you before the talk. Use the upload form, selecting your conference (CASES, CODES, or EMSOFT) and session. A link to the form will be provided by the TPC chair. The naming convention is: [session number]-[paper number]-[author name]-bio.txt, where paper number is your paper’s scheduled order within the session (e.g., 03-01-turing-bio.txt for the first presentation in the session).

Presentation Preparation

  1. Oral presentation length
    • Full papers: 13 minutes presentation plus 2 minutes Q&A. 
    • LBR papers and Invited Extended Abstracts: 5 minutes presentation.
  2. Slides must be landscape and sized for widescreen format (16:9) with 0.5″ in margins. 
  3. Backgrounds should be white and text must be dark. Text fonts and sizes should be appropriate for screen display. E.g., no font sizes smaller than 16 should be used. 
  4. ALL presentations MUST run on the provided PCs. Connecting personal PCs is not allowed due to the very tight schedule. Because of this requirement, please pay attention to the following when preparing your slides:
    • Presentations must not have any DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions or other similar copy protections. 
    • All fonts should be fully embedded. Note that embedding multimedia content requiring external player software (especially audio or video embedded into presentations) is very risky so please avoid doing so, or have a backup plan. 
    • For these reasons, pdf is preferred over pptx.
    • Dual-monitor setup is not supported. 
    • You can use the computers at the registration desk to check your slides before the day of your presentation. 
  5. Please upload your presentation before October 2nd to allow us to test. Use the upload form, selecting your conference (CASES, CODES, or EMSOFT) and session. A link to the form will be provided by the TPC chair. The naming convention is: [session number]-[paper number]-[author name]-pres.pdf where paper number is your paper’s scheduled order within the session (e.g., 03-01-turing-pres.pdf for the first presentation in the session).
  6. Please come with your presentation on a USB stick (no SD cards) as a backup measure.

Poster Preparation

  1. Every accepted paper, regardless of its type, requires participation in the corresponding poster session (immediately after the oral presentation session). 
  2. Please follow the poster guidelines at http://esweek.org/poster-guidelines/ to prepare your posters. You will need to print your poster yourself and bring it to the conference.
