Author Presentation Instructions

Speakers should arrive in their session room 10 minutes BEFORE the start of their session to report to the Session Chair.

Please bring your presentation on a personal USB and save the slides to the laptop onsite.

Oral Presentation Instructions

Each author has a 30-minute slot for the entire presentation. Oral presentation consists of 25 minutes for presentation of the paper, including such content as the problem statement, the background, the innovative approach, the new results and any comparative evaluation that the author wishes to present. This leaves five minutes for Q&A/discussion with the attendees.

A projector and a computer with MS PowerPoint & Adobe Acrobat Reader will be available in every session room for regular presentations. The projectors are designed for 16:9 presentations so the authors are encouraged to prepare their presentations with that proportion. 

Presentation Slides

Slides in Acrobat Portable Document Format (pdf) are acceptable but not preferred.

The presenter should prepare a reasonable number of PowerPoint slides, so as not to exceed the 25-minute time. Typically, 1 slide is presented in 1 minute. Additional slides could be prepared as backup slides to support possible answers to attendees' questions.

Slides should not be overcrowded by text and graphics. Too much text should be avoided. Slides should support the presentation, they should not be simply read by the presenter.

Graphics help in communications, are more understandable, and point out the basic ideas.

Use large fonts so as they are readable without efforts: typically 20 point fonts should be used.

Optional: You may download a SysCon 2025 PowerPoint template here.

Formatting

Presentation should be clearly structured, and should contain the essential elements of the accepted formal paper.

Presentations should be brought on a memory stick by the author to the conference.

All accepted papers are expected to be presented. If the primary author or co-author(s) are not able to attend due to extenuating circumstances, a substitute presenter should be found. Each paper must be associated with a full member or non-member conference registration by one of the authors.

ANY PAPER NOT PRESENTED AT THE CONFERENCE WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS POSTED TO IEEE XPLORE.
