Lecture Presentations

Due to the large number of papers received this year the presentations will be performed in two parallel tracks. Most papers are allocated 25 minutes for oral sessions. However, a small number of papers are allocated 15 minutes in order to maximise the number of oral presentations. Short presentations are indicated with (S) following the time slot in the schedule. Please check the status of your presentation from the conference schedule ( http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/ahs2007/conference_PRINTABLE.pdf ) so that you can prepare your presentation accordingly.

A computer-driven slideshow for use with a data projector is recommended for your talk at AHS-2007. Rooms for both tracks will be equipped with a computer, a data projector, a microphone, a lectern, and a pointing device. An overhead projector will be provided upon request.

Poster Presentations

For your poster, a board will be provided which measures 120cm tall by 90cm wide (portrait orientation). Push tacks or headed pins will be provided at the conference to mount your poster to the board.

The title of your poster should appear at the top in CAPITAL letters about 25mm high. Below the title put the name(s) of the author(s) and affiliation(s). The flow of your poster should be from the top left to the bottom right. Use arrows to lead your viewer through the poster. Use color for highlighting and to make your poster more attractive. Use pictures, diagrams, cartoons, figures, etc., rather than text wherever possible. Try to state your main result in 6 lines or less, in lettering about 15mm high so that people can read the poster from a distance. The smallest text on your poster should be at least 9mm high, and the important points should be in a larger size. Use a sans-serif font (such as "cmss" in the Computer Modern family or the "Helvetica" PostScript font) to make the print easier to read from a distance.

Make your poster as self-explanatory as possible. This will save your efforts for technical discussions. There will not be any summaries given at the beginning of the poster session, so authors need not prepare any overhead slides for their poster presentations.
