Information for Authors
IEEE ComSoc Policy

To be published in the IEEE ISPLC 2013 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference, unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final, IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE ISPLC 2013 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore®.
Full paper presentation authors

The working language of the Conference is English and will be used for all printed material, presentations and discussions.
 
NOTE
Please meet the session chair in your session at least 15 minutes before the session starts. You should identify yourself to the session chair for your session and check in with AV staff to prepare your presentation (bring the PDF or PowerPoint file on a CD (no ZIP disk) or USB memory) and load it on the computer in your session room. You also need to confirm that it is working properly. This is very important to pay attention to this time frame. The visual equipment provided is an LCD projector.
 
Time Allocation

20 minutes (including 5 minutes for Q&A) has been allowed for the presentation of your contribution, and this time allocation must not be exceeded. In case of Industry Application Session, only 16 minutes (including 3 minutes for Q&A) has been allowed.

To make the most of the presentation time, you may find the following guidelines to be helpful:

  • Speak clearly and avoid colloquial English - not all delegates use English as their native language.
  • Summarize your written paper and present any updated material and results. The focus should be on the basic concepts and conclusions, rather than the details.
  • Please note that questions may be taken following your presentation.

The Session Chairs have been asked to be strict with their time keeping of presentations, this will enable delegates to walk between sessions and attend the presentations of their choice.
 
Visual Aids

For IEEE ISPLC 2013 we will permit the use of PDF and PowerPoint presentations

USEFUL PRESENTATION TIPS:

Do not put too much information on visual aids

  • A maximum of six or seven lines including the title (not more than 20 words).
  • Avoid abbreviations, mathematics and tables of results (graphs or histograms are much better).
  • Lettering should be lowercase, medium or bold and at least "this size" (Arial 22)
  • NEVER USE:
    • computer printouts
    • photocopied pages of books
    • hand-drawn transparencies
  • Keep diagrams as simple as possible
  • Company logos, if used, should be of a modest size.
