Announcements

  • Presentations are scheduled for 7th (Friday) and 8th (Saturday) July, 2006 in the seminar room - E 1 3, Room 328.

Instructions for Presenters

  • Presenters are required to submit their presentations in Keynote, PDF or PPT format latest by 3:00pm, 4th July 2006 (Tuesday). Presenters will be solely reponsible to make sure that their files work. Attaching a back-up PDF is stongly recommended.
  • Each presenter has been allocated a theme containing three papers. While the primary paper to be presented is on top of the list (in bold), this needs to be done in light of the other two papers on the list (i.e. incorporated into) and any other related work the student may come across.
  • Each presentation should last 25 minutes, allowing a further 5 minutes for questions/discussions.
  • Attendance to all presentations are mandatory.
  • You are welcome to swap topics/times with your colleagues. However, Prof. Zeller and myself must be notified of this change, latest by 3:00pm, 28th June (Wednesday).
  • Further instructions will be given by Prof. Zeller on 22nd June (Thursday).
