Remote Oral Presentations

The organizing committee has designed the system so that it:
  • offers the possibility of both pre-recorded presentations as well as on-line talks
  • is organized with a flexible schedule so that people with different time zones can attend at much as possible
  • offers a way to emulate human interaction so that people can talk to each other
  • allows switching speakers
  • allows "hand raising" for asking questions as well as posting questions in text form
Each paper will be presented in two forms:
  • an off-line presentation published on the web in advance (text, slides, video), and
  • discussed in an on-line session where questions to authors will be given by participants.
The questions can be also gathered during the off-line session using sli.do. The on-line sessions will be based on ZOOM. After the on-line session, the discussion can continue in a post-discussion chat Discord. If you have a question or a suggestion, please contact the OC via e-mail.

  3. You will have at your disposal one OC member to help you with possible problems (technical matters, question management, etc.).
  4. Your task is to start the session on time and supervise the questions and discussion. Try to assure equal interests in the papers and authors involved. Have the Sli.do link of your session ready - the questions can appear there during the session. Flash 2-minute introductions of the papers may be a good option, if time permits. The length of the discussion session is flexible, but should not be longer than 60 minutes. After that the discussion should move to the off-line chat (Discord).
