CONTRIBUTED TALKS AND POSTERS
CONTRIBUTED TALKS
Contributed talks will be given 15 minute time slots. These should be
considered to be 12 minutes for the delivery of the talks and 3
minutes for questions and answers.
If there are more contributed talks than available speaker slots, some student contributed talks
may be moved to the site for posters.
VERY VERY IMPORTANT: Contributed talks must be sent in as mp4's with
embedded audio. It is not
difficult, in principle, to make such movies with PowerPoint or
Keynote, except that there are small, but frustrating differences for
the various forms of both PowerPoint and Keynote (e.g., Office 2019 vs
2016, PowerPoint on a Mac vs on Windows, etc.)
Here are links to HowTo's for the latest version of
Keynote and of PowerPoint.
I will be very
grateful for anyone who can provide clear detailed instructions for
earlier versions and for PowerPoint on Windows. Please send your
How-To to me, Richard Price, at rhprice@mit.edu
If this can be done with Beamer (does anyone use Beamer?), and someone
can contribute the Beamer How-To, it would be appreciated.
POSTERS
Posters are to be put into PDF form and emailed. The limit to a
"poster" is 6 standard PDF pages. The heading of the poster must include the email address of the author of the poster. Viewers of poster will use that email address for questions to the author.
PDFs of posters are to be sent as attachments affiliation), to Richard Price at
In the body of the email, please include brief information about the author: name, contact information, institution, position (undergrad, grad, postdoc,...)
STUDENT AWARDS
There will be awards for student active participation: $300 for first prize, $100 for each runner up prize. The number of runners up will be decided during the meeting. Contributed talks and posters will be in the same pool for award considerations.
