Technical sessions are 90 and/or 105 minutes long. Special sessions are allocated the entire time with the format determined by the nature of the session. All of the paper sessions within the same time slot will maintain the same starting time for papers as shown in the table below. This is to enable "session hopping," where papers of interest are in different sessions but are not presented at the same time. If there is a "no-show" author in a session, the moderator will conduct an open forum on the session's theme between the presenters and the audience during this empty time slot. Papers MUST be presented at their scheduled time. No papers will be rescheduled. Each 90 minute technical paper session will consist of five (5) 15-minute segments. Each 105 minute technical paper session will consist of six (6) 15-minute segments. Each paper will be allotted 15 minutes for the presentation and questions. The moderator will use part of each of the 15-minute segments for introductions and instructions. The final 15 minutes of each session are for a group discussion. The design of the conference is to promote discussion and interaction. Thus, the sessions are not just people presenting material but also a place for people to share their insights on an issue. The discussion should be based on the theme of each session. The presentations should present ideas that the group can then discuss. Come to the session prepared to provide your insight. Paper times for sessions are shown in the table below. H designates session starting hour of the session: mm designates the session starting minutes. (For example, if the session starts at 4:15 p.m., then H=4 and mm=15.) The starting time of each paper is indicated by H:mm + X where X denotes the number of minutes to add to the session starting time. (For example, in a 90-minute session that begins at 10:30 a.m., the fourth paper, as shown in the second column, begins at H:mm + 45 so that H=10, mm=30 and X=45; the starting time is 11:15 p.m.)
