About the Conference Program

Session Names and Presentation ID's

  • All presentations have associated "Presentation ID"s of the following forms.
    1PM2-R01-2          3AM2-R10-04          5PM1-S02-10
    In the timetables, the presentation ID's can be reconstructed from their components, e.g. "1PM2", "R01", "2" listed in the block headings.
     
  • The first component of the presentation ID (1PM2, 3AM2, 5PM1 in the above examples) shows the time slot of the session.
    The first number is the conference day number (1 to 5, corresponding to Aug.25 to 29), and AM/PM correspond to morning/afternoon sessions. The last number is the session number within that time block.
    In the above examples:
    1PM2     Day 1 (Aug. 25), second session in the afternoon.
    3AM2     Day 3 (Aug. 27), second session in the morning.
    5PM1     Day 5 (Aug. 29), first session in the afternoon.
    See the timetables for the actual starting and ending time of each session.
     
  • The second component (R01, R10, S02) is the room number.
    R01 is room #1 and R10 is room #10 (of the main venue).
    For Day 5 at the additional venue, S01 & S02 stand for "Spaces #1 & #2", and A01 & A02 stand for "Atriums #1 & #2".
    These room numbers are for conference use only, and the actual room numbers/names of the buildings are given below (they are also in the headline of the timetables).
     
  • Thse time slot and room number component combined, e.g., 1PM2-R01, is the Session Name.
     
  • The number in the final component (2, 04, 10) is the serial number within the session.
    • For oral presentations, the number corresponds to the presentation order.
      Each presentation has 30 mins.; so presentation numbers 1, 2, 3, ... will start at 0, 30, 60 mins. from the session start time.
      Oral sessions with empty slots for the first presentation will start 30 mins. later than the session start time.
    • For posters, this is the board number allocated for presentation.
      The odd/even numbers correspond to the presentation sessions as follows.
      ParityPresentation Sessions
      odd numbers2AM2-(R7-R13),  5AM2-S02
      even numbers3AM2-(R7-R13),  5PM1-S02
      For demonstrations, the number is insignificant because a demonstration occupies a single room during the session.
      Posters & demos have the whole session length for presentation.
       
    • Symposium position papers also have their serial numbers, but only for bookkeeping purposes.
      The presentation order and time can be freely arranged by the symposium organizer.
      Thus, the serial numbers for symposia are not listed in the timetable.
       
  • Presentation ID's for Symposium Participants
    In the author index and other places, symposium participants (organizers, speakers, discussants & panelists) have presentation ID entries of the following form.
    2PM1-R01(SY04)
    The above example means that the person will participate in symposium #4 (SY04) held in session 2PM1-R01.
    Note; "SUMMARY-4" in the Proceedings means that the article is the summary of Symposium 4.
    If this person is a speaker and has a position paper, then its presentation ID (e.g., 2PM1-R01-05) is also listed in the index.
     

Submission ID Numbers

  • The submission ID numbers (four digit numbers e.g., 1001, 1234) are removed from the timetables in the current version.
  • They are retained in the Presentation and Index1 worksheets for the convenience of presenters who may want to search their submissions using them.
  • The submission ID's are also used in the actual file names in the Proceedings CD-ROM.
    So look up the ID number to find what presentation the file belongs to.
     

Finding a Presentation

  • When looking for a presentation with a particular presentation ID, submission ID, author, or keyword in the title, use the standard string search facilities equipped in Excel, PDF readers, or Web browsers.
  • In the master Excel file (Program.xls), the worksheets Presentation & Index1 have links associated with presentation/submission ID's.
    Click these links to jump to the corresponding position in the Program and Poster worksheets.
    To move back & forth between the jumped location and previous position, use "Alt+left/right arrow" (keep the "Alt" key pressed and hit either the left or right arrow key).
  • The PDF and HTML versions do not have such links embedded.
     

Cancelled Presentations

  • Presentations cancelled after the editing of conference material were finalized are retained in the program files, shown with a gray background.
  • The titles, abstracts and papers for these presentations appear in the CD-ROM Proceedings, Abstract Book and Program Booklet, but will not be presented at the conference.
  • Presentations cancelled before the finalization are removed from the program files.
