Program - Call for papers

The following announcements and calls for papers were submitted:

Time constraints

For your presentation, certain time constraints will be enforced. You can extend your time frame by letting your slides meet the conditions of our bonus system.

Basic constraints

submission type maximum time
call for papers0:30 min
informational2:00 min
funny2:00 min
very funny2:30 min

Bonus system

For getting extra presentation time, embed one of the following terms into your presentation in a meaningful way. The first mention buys you +30 seconds, mentioning a second term another +20 seconds, the third term another +10 seconds (repetitions do not count twice). Instead of spelling out the words, you can also use corresponding images.
  • Donald Rump
  • raccoon
  • Mozart

Please submit in PDF format

To ensure a smooth transition between the talks we will collate the slides of all presentations into a single file. For this reason we only accept submissions in PDF format. We will insert unified title slides between each two presentations, with the following information:
  • title of talk
  • author names
  • affiliations
In particular, your submission should not include its own title page. In case you really really really insist that you cannot submit in PDF format (e.g., because animations are vital for your presentation), please contact the session chairs and request an exception. In this case, do not submit your contribution through the online system.

Calls for papers

The submissions in the category "call for papers" will be displayed during the rump session break, in an automatic slide show. Please make sure you submit only one-slide presentations.
