Each session is assigned a session chair. When the session chair is not present, the first discussant (PSD) or presenter (PS/RF) serves as the chair. The chair’s responsibilities are to introduce presenters, discussants (if any), and managing the time allocated to each paper:
Parallel sessions with discussants (PSD) have 1–2 papers. For each paper, allow 20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for the discussant, and 15 minutes for audience discussion.
Parallel sessions (PS) have 2–3 papers. For each paper, allow 20 minutes for presentation, and 10 minutes for audience discussion.
Research forum sessions (RF) have 2–5 papers. For each paper, allow 10 minutes for presentation, and 8 minutes for audience discussion.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your presentation, chairing, or discussion to upload any materials you need onto the session room PC.
