 FINAL PROGRAM
 INFORMATION FOR PRESENTERS AND SESSION CHAIRS

  • Please show up about five minutes before your session starts. Speakers should supply a short bio to the session chair so that they can be introduced properly. If you wish to contact the session chair or speakers before the conference, please send an email to the Program Chair at thtse@hku.hk.

  • Every regular 6-page paper is allowed a presentation time of 20 to 25 minutes and a questions-and-answers period of 5 to 10 minutes. Every short 3-page paper is allowed a presentation time of 10 minutes and a Q&A period of 5 minutes. The session chairs will remind the presenters a few minutes before the end of the presentation. If you are not sure about the length of your presentation, please send a message to the Program Chair at thtse@hku.hk.

  • Panel and workshop chairs and presenters can discuss and agree on a presentation format of their own choice.

  • COMPSAC 2001 will provide a computer projector and an overhead projector as standard equipment in each session. We would like to clarify that, because of various technical reasons, the computer projector provided will not be attached to a lap-top computer by default. If you choose to use the computer projector, you need to bring your own lap-top for connection to the computer projector. Your presentation material should be downloaded to your machine before the session starts. If you have serious difficulty in bringing your own lap-top to the conference, we recommend that you use the overhead projector instead.

  • In case you have not yet registered, please do so at your earliest convenience using the Registration Form for Authors, Speakers, and Session Chairs.
