Poster session schedule, as of October 22, 2008

Abstract list

Invited reviews are at most 25min plus 5min discussion. Contributed talks are 10min plus 5 min discussion. Note again that a subset of posters was selected for a 5-min oral presentation (during two "Poster Sessions"). These posters are now listed at the same URL as above. Their time slot is sharp, i.e. no questions asked (you do this then at the poster).

Besides the nominal talks and the oral poster presentations, we feature a 30-minute Poster PowerPoint slide show on Tuesday afternoon after coffee just prior to the poster presentations. Each slide will appear for 1 minute on the main screen and the presenter should get up in the auditorium and (very) briefly advertise his/her poster. Due to the large number of abstracts submitted, we can allow only one slide per poster. Interested aficiados shall please hand a ppt file to the organizers as soon as possible after arrival (per memory stick), or send a final version by e-mail to Katrin Götz. This will be repeated as a background slide show during coffee breaks on other days but without direct or focused attention.
