All presenters should arrive 10 minutes in advance and make sure that no technical problems occur. Each presenter has 20 minutes for presentation, 5 minutes for his or her discussants' presentation and another 5 minutes for general discussion. Please respect the time limit for presenting your paper and for the discussion. The chairs are advised to enforce the time constraints.

Session's Chair:

The last presenter in the session is assigned the role of the session's chair. The chair has to supervise that time constraints are met. He or she should welcome and introduce the participants and moderate the open discussion. If the session's chair is absent, the last presenter listed should take the role of the chair.
