The poster presentations will be scheduled along with other paper presentations within the sessions.

Virtual authors whose abstracts are accepted must prepare the content for the presentation itself in one of these following ways:
Your Virtual Presentation will be scheduled along with other oral presentations within the sessions. At your paper’s presentation time, we will “play” your presentation and, optionally, set up a question and answer session afterward (Skype). For the live Skype Presentation, you should ensure that you have the video equipment and software set up well in advance of the actual presentation and do a test-drive.
