Format
There will be a PC in the room, installed with: Adobe Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Office and Open Office.
If you need other viewers or software, we encourage you to bring your own laptop installed with the required software and files. In any case (use of the room PC or your own laptop), please be in the conference room at least 20 minutes before the start of your session, on order to upload the files on the computer or to test the connection with your own laptop. Testing even more in advance is encouraged.
A beamer (data projector) connected to the PC is installed. The resolution of the available projector is 1024 x 768.
Authors have 20 minutes to present their contribution, including 5 minutes for questions.
Do not use too small fonts ; do not forget that you will show your presentation in a room sized for many people.
Contents
Please do not forget that the IEA/AIE conference gathers researchers from various disciplines (neural networks, statistics, data analysis, machine learning, computational intelligence, biology, etc.).  Everyone cannot know everything; so probably many of the attendees do not know your research field.
During your presentation, if you go straight to your specific development without taking time to explain the background, there is a risk that many attendees will not understand your point.  We thus strongly suggest you to take time during your presentation to explain what you did and why you did it (background, reasons to study this specific point, where your development could be used, etc.).
The details on how you did your work are probably too much detailed to be presented orally in 15 minutes.  Please restrict yourself to the points that are necessary to understand what you did, but avoid too much details that will make your presentation too complicated. These details are contained in the proceedings, and anyone interested in your talk has the possibility to read them after the conference.
The purpose of oral presentations is then to arouse the interest of the participants to your work.  If you succeeded in convincing them that your work is interesting, they have the possibility too read more details in the proceedings and even to contact you personally for a deeper discussion. Oral presentations are thus complementary to the paper in the proceedings, and not a simple summary of it.
Choose an adequate number of slides; for a 15 minutes presentation, around 10 slides (including titles) is OK. The program is quite tight so we ask you to strictly comply with the limit of 15 minutes.
