Workshop on W3C's Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces — Presentation Guideline

Presentation contents

Please do not use large amounts of text on your slides, instead, use your slides to present examples.

Please use your time to focus on explaining the problems you have encountered with the Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces (MMI Architecture), using examples wherever possible, and avoid giving too much background information on MMI Architecture or multimodal interaction in general.

There will be an overview of MMI Architecture and InkML in the introduction session, so you should concentrate specifically on the requirements for extensions to the MMI Architecture that need to be addressed and give detailed examples.

Attendees have read the presentations and position papers before arriving at the conference because all the presentations are collected and published on the Workshop site.

Format of the presentations

Allowed formats are (valid) HTML/XHTML, PDF or plain text.

Note.

1. All the presentations will be published on the public W3C Workshop site.
2. Presentation in other formats will be converted to HTML/XHTML or PDF by the workshop organizer before publication at the Workshop site.
3. When creating your presentation, please make all the fonts embedded so that the organizer can surely convert it to valid HTML/XHTML or PDF.

Font size

Please use large enough fonts so that all the attendees can identify all the contents. The workshop organizer would ask you to enlarge your presentation if the fonts are not large enough.

Speaking style

Because this is an international workshop and the attendees are not necessarily native English speakers, please talk loud and clear.

Duration

30 minutes are assigned for your oral presentation. There will be a separate time slot for discussion.

PC for presentation

Please sign in at the reception desk, get your name tag and let the organizer know which you prefer to use your own PC or the organizer's PC.

Case1: Using your own PC

• You should bring your own laptop PC including your presentation.
• Presentation test should be done 30-minute before starting of your session.

Case2: Using the organizer's PC

• Speaker should upload the presentation onto the organizer's PC (Windows XP) in the venue during breaks.
• If you create your presentation using Microsoft Office 2000 (Power Point), convert it to PDF before coming to the conference so that any special fonts will be visible during the presentation.
