Speaker information: software demonstration presentations

Two software demonstration sessions (SDS) MoB7 and MoC7 have been scheduled in the Charcot room on Monday, July 6.

Each of those sessions is organized as follows:

Short introduction to the SDS and to the presented software tools (beamer).
Poster and demonstration session:

• For every software tool a workplace (a table, 3 chairs, a 1.2m high x 0.9m wide poster display board) will be provided.
• Every software tool is presented with a poster.
• The 6 software tools are demonstrated using a notebook at the workplace.
• From time to time software demonstrations will be shown to the public using the beamer.

The emphasis of the SDS lies on the direct demonstration of the software tools providing a hands-on experience to the audience.
This will trigger especially the discussion of the user interface design, but by means of paper and poster also the theoretical background may be explained and discussed.

Attendees with special needs

Attendees with special needs are encouraged to contact the conference secretariat.

Internet access

All the rooms and conference halls are equipped with wireless internet hotspots to provide internet access (SDSL connection).

An Internet café with three computers will be available in the Rotonde Jacques Cartier.

Identification badges

Each registrant will receive a name badge, which we request is worn throughout the conference and at social gatherings.

Lunch arrangements

Both full registration and student registration fees include the three lunches (Monday to Wednesday) to be served at the symposium venue.

Smoking

French law does not permit smoking in public buildings, and hence the entire Palais du Grand Large is a non-smoking area.
