AICAS 2020 online guide

  • Because the conference is virtual, we will be reimbursing the registration payment but each paper will still need a registration payment of 150 Euros. Therefore some of you will only receive a partial reimbursement.

  • To get the reimbursement, we ask that you fill out the google form confirming which paper(s) your registration will support (if any) and the reimbursement method. Default reimbursement will be done with the same method used for payment of the registration.

  • The AICAS 2020 website program provides an overview of the program. Detailed abstracts of the plenaries and tutorials are available there. All times are listed in Central European Summer Time (CEST, GMT+2).

    The detailed schedule is on ePapers for papers, posters and demos (which are treated as posters).

Steps for all presenters

  1. Find your paper on ePapers.
  2. Prepare your presentation.
  3. Join your zoom session at least 15 minutes before it is scheduled to start to make sure you can share the screen and that you have proper audio settings. 
    1. Learn how to share your screen, unmute your audio, and turn on your presentation laser pointer. 
    2. Check your audio for quality and volume.
    3. Avoid using the keyboard during your presentation to prevent annoying pops and clicking sounds.
    4. Note that fading animations and motion effects do not work well with zoom. It is better to use instantaneous appearance animations.
    5. If your presentation has audio, make sure you know how to share your screen with computer sound.
  4. In your zoom session, the session chair or co-host will make you a co-host so you can share your screen to present your paper/poster/demo.
  5. The session chair will introduce each paper/poster/demo and will pass on written Whova questions from the audience and/or unmute audience members so they can discuss the paper results with you.

Lecture presentations

The duration of a presentation slot is 20 minutes.  Please target your lecture for a duration of a maximum of 15 minutes for the presentation plus approx. 3 minutes for questions from the audience.

IMPORTANT

Presentations will be live during the scheduled time. Prepare a presentation, which you will present live through the Zoom link at the moment of your session. If it helps, you can play a video of your talk.

Presenters are invited to report to the session chair 15 minutes BEFORE the start of the session. You will share with the chair your name, role and institutional affiliation so that the chair can mention this in his introduction.

Poster presentations

The poster session will be divided into two parts:

    1. Joint posters’ pitches presentations: each author will present live through the Zoom link in order of posters listed for your poster session. Poster presenters should prepare a maximum 2-slide, 2-minute poster pitch.  Your slide deck could have more illustrations on later slides to answer questions, but you may only present 2 slides in your pitch. Focus on the question and main result; leave details of methods mainly to be answered during Q&A and from paper. If you prefer, you can play a video of your pitch.
    2. Individual posters Q&A: The poster session will then break out into separate Zoom links for discussion about individual posters. The Q&A session for each poster will last for about 1 hour. As attendees are allowed to “move” from one poster room to the others at any time during the Q&A session, we suggest presenters to share their screens and show a poster with all information about the paper, so that when attendees join the Q&A they can have a look at the poster before asking questions.

Live Demo presentations

The live demonstration session will be divided into two parts:

    1. Joint demos’ pitches presentations: each author will present live through the Zoom link in order of posters listed for your demo session. Live demo presenters should prepare a 5-minute video showcase or live showcase of the demonstration.
    2. Individual demos Q&A: The demo session will then break out into separate Zoom links for discussion about individual demos. The Q&A session for each demo will last for about 1 hour. Attendees are allowed to “move” from one demo room to the others at any time during the Q&A session.

Call for demos

AICAS2020 invites proposals for Live Demonstrations, showing interactive and tangible form of presentation of working systems that will be directly experienced by conference attendees. With Live Demonstrations, presenters have the opportunity to show direct proof of their working systems and to create a lasting impression in a session that is very well attended.
