Guideline for Oral Presentations:

How long is an oral presentation?

Presentation time is 15 minutes for eachpaper, including the introduction, any questions and switching betweenpresentations. It is important that the sessions remain on time. A sessionchair will be assigned to each session to make sure the schedule is maintainedand to coordinate the question-answer portion of your talk. Please follow theinstructions of the session chair during your talk.
