PAPER SUBMISSION

PAPER PREPARATION

PAPER PRESENTATION

Session chairs will be in meeting rooms five minutes before the session.

Poster Presentation
Poster sessions form an excellent medium for authors to present papers and meet with interested attendees for in-depth technical discussions. In addition, attendees find the poster sessions a good way to sample many papers in parallel sessions. Finally you have a much longer interval of time to present your work to smaller groups in comparison to oral sessions.

The ideal poster is designed to attract attention, provide a brief overview of your work, and initiate discussion. Your message must be clearly and noticeably displayed to attract people who might have an interest in your paper.

For your poster, a board will be provided which measures 120 cm tall by 240 cm wide (landscape orientation). You must tack up your poster before or at the start of the session. It is also your responsibility to remove your poster before the following session starts.

Some useful tips for your poster presentation:

• The title of your poster should appear at the top in CAPITAL letters about 25mm high. Below the title put the author(s)' name(s) and affiliation(s).
• he flow of your poster should be from the top left to the bottom right. You may use arrows to lead your viewer through the poster. Use color for highlighting and to make your poster more attractive. Use pictures, diagrams, cartoons, figures, etc., rather than text wherever possible.
• Try to state your main result in 6 lines or less, in lettering about 15mm high so that people can read the poster from a distance and can grasp the content in one holistic look.
• The smallest text on your poster should be at least 9mm high, and the important points should be in a larger size. Use a sans-serif font ("Helvetica" PostScript font) to make the print easier to read from a distance.
• Make your poster as self-explanatory as possible. This will save your efforts for technical discussions. There will be a brief oral summary presentation session at the beginning of the poster sessions at EUSIPCO2005. The authors should prepare 2 to 4 PowerPoint slides for their poster presentations.
• You must attend your poster during the whole two hours duration of the poster session.
