Facilities and Notice for Presentations

Oral Presentations
All the oral sessions on Wednesday and Thursday (21-22 November) will take place in lecture room 831, and those on Friday through Sunday (23-25 November) in lecture room A201. All the usual facilities will be available for oral presentations in these lecture rooms. These facilities include computer projector, overhead projector, microphone, pointer, etc. The invited lectures are 30 min in length (= 25 min presentation + 5 min discussion). The contributed oral presentations are 20 min in length (= 15 min presentation + 5 min discussion), except for those in the young scientist session where they are 15 min in length (= 12 min presentation + 3 min discussion). A laptop computer with MS Windows XP Professional (Japanese version) and MS PowerPoint 2003 will be available for oral presentations. Speakers planning to use PowerPoint are asked to bring their talks on a flash drive (USB stick). These should be given to the computer assistant(s) in the lecture room at least 20 min before the start of the session to check the slides. If you wish to use your own computer for your presentation, you are advised to allow plenty of time before the session for set-up, and also to bring a copy of your talk on a flash drive as a back-up. Mac PC users should bring your own PC with an adaptor cable.

Poster Presentations
The poster sessions will take place in a student hall "Oasis". The space available to display each poster is 150 cm in height and 90 cm in width. The poster number is displayed on the upper left corner of the poster board so that you can find out the place for your presentation. All posters can be put on boards from the morning of Friday 23 November and displayed until the end of the Conference. Posters of odd numbers will be discussed on Friday 23 November and those of even numbers on Saturday 24 November. Push-pins will be available for displaying posters.
