The lecture duration includes 5 min. for discussion. The presentation of the lecture will be scheduled by the conference code: 3rd and 4th character for the number of the session and the 6th character for serial number within the session. Computer with Microsoft Office Software (especially MS Power Point) and projector/beamer are available in every lecture room. Therefore we need a copy of your presentation. We kindly ask you to bring along either a CD-ROM or a memory stick containing your presentation to the conference. It is also possible to use the own notebook. If you consider presenting a movie, we recommend using your own notebook.

Presenting authors are asked to come to the respective lecture room before the session, to ensure that there is enough time to copy the presentation or for installing the notebook. Please, check with the room attendant, whether everything is working properly. At the same time please give us also your presentation (PDF-File, labeled with your conference code) which you want to have published on the PSE 2010 homepage.

The poster presentations are given in 4 sessions. The presentation of the poster will be scheduled by the conference code: 3rd character for the number of the poster session and 4th - 6th characters for the serial number within the session, which corresponds to the number on the poster board. The poster size is 90 cm width and 120 cm height (DIN A0), i.e. portrait format. The authors are requested to mount their poster in the morning of the day of their session, and to remove it at the end of the same day. Please make sure to bring the necessary material for mounting the poster (tape or pins only!).

In addition, please upload your poster presentation (PDF-File, labeled with the conference code) via the webpage of the conference, in order to have it included in the collection of the conference presentations which will be published to the participants soon after the conference (see "Conference Proceedings").
