We are very grateful to you for having submitted a paper to ISWCS’2006. As a speaker, you have the responsibility of being clear, concise, and calling the interest of the attendees. The quality of your presentation directly affects the interest your audience will have in your material and the overall satisfaction the attendees will have in the conference.

If you are not an experienced presenter, we suggest you practice your presentation with a small group that will provide feedback to assist you. Some specific suggestions are given in a companion sheet.

We would like to call your attention to the following:

• Be at the room of your session 15 minutes before it begins, so that you can meet your session chairs and the other speakers in advance.

• Give to the session chair a copy of your short CV before the session begins. In case you have not done it, ask for a CV form at the secretariat during the conference.

• It is most important to be within strict time constraints to allow the presentations to fit within the allotted time periods. Each paper has a time slot of 20 minutes, 15-17 of which for the presentation, and the remaining 3-5 minutes for questions and discussion. The session chairman will rigorously enforce these time limits.

• Overhead and video projectors, as well as computers, will be available in all conference rooms. Other equipment, if available, will be provided at your expenses if you request it. Check availability with the conference secretariat. Please bring your presentation in a memory stick or CD-ROM to copy it at the session computer.

Thank you again. If you need any more information, please do not hesitate to ask us
