Lecture and poster sessions

Eleven parallel lecture sections will take place at 8:30–12:30 and 14:00–17:40 based on 20 minutes rigid schedules. For keynote lectures 40 minutes are reserved. Poster sessions will take place the whole day from 9 to 17 h. However, authors must attend their posters during the coffee/poster breaks: 10:10– 10:40, and 15:20–16:20.

Program Overview

Final summary and full text

The final summary and full text have to be written in English and are requested from authors of all contributions (lectures and posters). The deadline for submission of the final summary and full text is 31 May 2008. The final summary can be modified at any time till 15 June 2008 by means of your user pages at the CHISA 2008 website. Both the final summary and full text should be prepared according to the Instructions for authors, which can be found at the address www.chisa.cz/2008/Instructions.doc
Please follow all instructions very carefully. Regrettably, many of the preliminary summaries have not complied with these instructions, therefore they had to be reedited. In these cases, the organisers have no responsibility for possible changes ensuing from such reformatting. The preliminary summary will be used if a final summary has not been submitted. If the full text is not received, the final summary will be used instead.
For submitting of the final summary please access your user pages, in the menu select “Inspecting submitted papers” and upload the final summary instead of the preliminary one. This is also the easiest way how to notify organizers about change of the title, authors, affiliations etc. The full text should also be interactively uploaded via user pages in a similar manner. In case of difficulties contact paper@chisa.cz
Fax will not be accepted because of poor quality for reproduction. In all correspondence please always refer to the serial number assigned to your contribution.
In July, every author will receive an e-mail confirming location and timing of his paper in the Final Program.

Poster presentation

The majority of papers will be presented as posters and thus they are a very important part of the Congress program.
Scope. Try to arrange your poster in such a way to provide a clear comprehensible image of your work at first sight even for those participants who are not conversant in your special field of interest. Give preference to diagrams, pictures and charts. The text should be very concise and accentuate the particular aim of your work, its importance, application, and the key formulas and symbols. Leave details to the discussion with interested people and to the full text.
Form. The size of the poster board is 130 cm (height) by 96 cm (width). The presenters will mark their posters with a heading, containing the title (size of letters 4 cm, at least), and the name(s) of author(s), affiliation, city and country (size of letters 2 cm). Letters under 1 cm are not suitable. Posting only a printout of the full text does not do credit to the sense and purpose of poster session.
Presentation. The presenters will arrange their posters at designated panels before the beginning of the poster session and remove them immediately after the closure of the session. The presenters must attend their posters during the coffee break from 15:20 to 16:20 h.

Lecture presentation

Since the oral sessions are based on rigid time schedules, a regular lecture including discussion can last no longer than 20 minutes. Forty minutes are reserved for keynote lectures only.
Data projectors. Lecture rooms will be equipped with dataprojector/PC and CD-ROM drives, and with PowerPoint software (version 2003). We are not adapted for Macintosh software. A PC for checking the PowerPoint presentation beforehand will be available in the Congress Reading Room. A connection to Internet will not be available in the lecture rooms.
Oral presentation. The lectures should be presented in English. Kindly use short sentences, a slower pace of delivery and clear and distinct pronunciation. This concerns specifically those presenters who speak in their mother tongue (i.e. English).

Submission of additional papers

Additional papers are still being accepted. They will be included mostly as posters, however, significant lectures will also be considered. For fast submission, please use the interactive application form available at the CHISA 2008 website.
The list of newly received contributions will be currently updated at the respective page of the CHISA website. The Final Program will be presented there in July. Only papers received before 31 May 2008 will be listed in the printed Final Program provided that at least one of the contribution’s authors registers in time and pays the Congress fee. Further contributions (only as posters) will be accepted till the beginning of the Congress, however, they will not appear in the Congress summary sets, and will only be listed in supplementary sheets.

Sets of summaries with pre-prints on CD-ROM

Summaries will be clustered according to the thematic groups as six Sets numbered from 1 to 6. The Set 6 and another one selected are included in the Congress fee; selection must be specified in the registration form. Among Congress materials will be a CD-ROM containing full texts of all accepted lectures and posters.
Extra set of summaries at a price of 15 EUR/each and extra CD-ROM at a price of 25 EUR may be purchased at the Congress office. The sets of summaries and CD-ROMs can also be ordered after the Congress by contacting the Organising Committee.
