Poster Presentation

For every poster presentation, a board of 98 cm width and 139 cm height will be provided. All necessary accessories will be provided (the scotch-type adhesive tape, magic tapes). You may start preparing and mounting your poster in the morning of 13 January. All posters should be mounted on the boards and made ready before the afternoon sessions begin. The poster session will be held from 17:00 to 18:00 on 13 January 2004.

A poster number, which will be different from your paper number, will be given for each poster for identification. This number can be found in the final program.

There are no specific constraints in the layout of the poster other than that the title and the names of authors should be prominently displayed and the character size of lettering should be large enough to allow reading from a distance of 1 meter. Poster sessions will not have tables and power outlets.

Posters must be removed immediately after the session ends.
