Session with two papers: 20 to 22 minutes for each paper presentation, 15 to 18 minutes for each paper's
discussants, remaining minutes for open discussion.
Session Chairs: Assume overall responsibility for your session. Make an effort to contact the session
participants before the meeting. Inform them that each presentation room will be equipped with an overhead
projector. Ask them if they have any special needs relating to their presentation and/or discussion. Arrive at the
session room 10 minutes in advance and make sure that it is properly equipped. Welcome and introduce the
participants. Start the session on time and adhere to the time schedule. Discussants should follow presenters.
Moderate the open discussion to the best of your ability.
Presenters: Stay within the allotted time even though it may not be enough! Be well prepared. For audio-visual
equipment other than overhead projectors, which will be provided in all meeting rooms, contact Kevin L. Hickey
or Demetri Kantarelis. You must have your session number, day, and time before equipment can be reserved. All
arrangements and charges for such equipment are your responsibility. Please do not just read your paper. Your
presentation of main points, methods, and conclusions should lead to a fruitful discussion during and after the
session. Make available copies of your paper.
Discussants: Be prepared to offer your "positive" remarks first. Then offer any "negative" remarks in a
constructive way. Stay within the allotted time. If you cannot meet your commitment, please make an effort to find
a substitute discussant, and contact the registration desk as well as the session chair immediately. Please contribute
as much as you can to the discussion of all papers. If the session's chair is absent, the last discussant listed should
take on the role of the chair.
