Instructions for RTSS 04 WIP Presenters

Each presenter will be given 5 minutes, INCLUDING SETUP TIME. It is essential that you make effective use of this time. First, prepare a short talk (we suggest a maximum of 3 slides + title slide). You should convey one or two important ideas about your work. You will not be able to give a really fast version of a regular-length talk, please do not attempt to do this. Second, you should attempt to minimize transition time by ensuring ahead of time that your laptop works with the projector and that you understand how to use the microphone. Also, WIP presenters may want to put multiple presentations on a single laptop.

The point of the WIP session is for the audience to get a rapid-fire stream of up-and-coming research ideas. Our experience is that a WIP session is fun and interesting to attend only if each speaker has really figured out a few key points to make, and makes them quickly. In other words, it's far better to give a memorable talk than to give a talk that includes a lot of details.

A few other details: Before the conference, please direct questions to John Regehr (regehr@cs.utah.edu). During the conference itself please address questions to Giuseppe Lipari (lipari@sssup.it).
