MANUSCRIPT Your manuscript of six/tweleve (6/12) pages or less in required format. See PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE for details. NOTE: Contributions will be made available in printed form (proceedings with registered ISBN) and CD-ROM. The Proceedings will be printed directly from the manuscripts submitted by authors. It is important to note that the appearance of your paper in the Proceedings will depend largely upon the care you take in preparing the original manuscript and graphic material. EPD is not responsible for replacing or correcting papers or pages. Please be sure your camera-ready paper is free of typographical errors and omissions before sending it to EPD. |
||||||||||||||||||
|
REGISTRATION FORM AND PAYMENT Payment of the fees is a requirement of having your paper published in the proceedings and CD-ROM. The Advance Registration fee is associated with publication of the paper and is NOT REFUNDABLE, but is transferable to the designee who will present your paper at the conference. Authors of published manuscripts will pay the full registration fee. |
||||||||||||||||||
|
TRANSFER OF COPYRIGHT FORM We require as a condition for acceptance of papers that all authors execute the copyright transfer to Engineering Professional Development (EPD), The University of Arizona. Please note that by signing the form you are simply giving your permission to EPD to publish the paper. |
||||||||||||||||||
|
SPECIAL A/V REQUESTS Please take a moment to include this information with your paper. An overhead (one will be in every room) or a 35mm projector (please request) is available at no charge. All other special requests require payment up front for their rental fees. For those who prefer to use a laptop computer for their presentation, a SVGA projection system will be available for a rental fee of $100 per session. Availability is limited, and reservations are on a first come, first serve basis. We cannot guarantee that special A/V requests beyond the above listed will be available at the time of the conference without prior notification and payment. At the conference, you will be required to pay for any equipment at the Registration Desk at time of request. |

AI, Simulation and Planning plans call for the nominal session to run 90 minutes without a break and to include four papers. This allows 5 minutes for introductions and then 20 minutes per paper, of which 5 minutes should be reserved for audience questions and comments.
REMEMBER, your entire paper is published in the Proceedings. Your objective
in the oral presentation should be to describe the highlights of your paper,
progress since the paper was written, and future plans. Do NOT try to present
the paper in its entirety, or to read it!

This time limit also restricts the number of concepts or major technical points that can be made by the speaker and absorbed by the audience. As a guideline, it is suggested that a presentation cover no more than 10 technical points.
Logically linked by the theme of the paper, each of these technical points can be expressed as a declarative statement, substantiated with supporting material. Though the selection of no more than 10 significant points may seem like a great hardship, it will enhance the audience appreciation of a paper by focusing on the most significant information.
VISUAL AIDS
The best way to present material in a limited time period is to use
well-conceived visual aids that support each of the points to be made.
As a first approximation, the speaker should PLAN FOR overhead foils or
"VIEWING FRAMES" FOR EACH OF THE 10 TECHNICAL POINTS to be presented. All
rooms will be set up for overhead presentations. Any additional audio-visual
requirements must be arranged through the EPD office prior to the conference.
Visual aids significantly simplify the presentation task. They simultaneously focus the audience attention and provide cues for the speaker. The speaker should plan to speak about all of the material on a foil (or it shouldn't be there) before amplifying a single item.
In general, include no more than six supporting concepts on each foil presenting one technical point. If there are more, simply select the most pertinent. Remember once again, visual aids are not a complete reconstruction of the manuscript. The full story appears in the Proceedings and visual aids are only attention-focusing cues for the most interesting highlights.
TIMING
A speaker can expect to speak about SIX SENTENCES PER OVERHEAD, WHICH
NORMALLY RUNS ABOUT 120 WORDS OR 1 TO 1.5 SPOKEN MINUTES. Since a
speaker will have ten OVERHEAD FOILS, the basic presentation will run
ten minutes. This allows 5-10 minutes to title, identify, and summarize
the basic material, recognizing that audience receptiveness peaks at the
beginning and conclusion of each talk.
SPEAKER ATTITUDE AND SPONTANEITY
The primary advantage for the speaker who organizes his presentation
in this manner is that he can approach the audience with the assurance
that HE CAN EASILY AND EFFECTIVELY PRESENT THE SALIENT POINTS IN HIS PAPER.
Since the speaker is cued by his overhead foils, and since he certainly can speak to any of the technical points he has selected for at least one minute, the speaker no longer needs a written speech or even prepared notes. Thus, a measure of spontaneity can enter the technical presentations.
DEVIATIONS FROM GUIDELINES
The Session Chairperson makes the final decisions regarding timing
of presentations, subject to the constraint that all papers in the session
must be completed within the time allotted. Any deviations from these guidelines
should be approved by the Chair.
SPEAKER'S BREAKFAST
On the morning of your presentation, a Speaker's Breakfast will be
held for you to meet with your Session Chair and Co-Presentors. This meeting
is mandatory.
| LIST OF AUDIO/VISUAL EQUIPMENT [PDF file] |
VIDEO EQUIPMENT
Those who wish to make presentations via videotapes must MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
TO PAY FOR THE EQUIPMENT THEMSELVES. Authors should remember that video
equipment and computer projector rental rates are relatively high ($125-$300
PER DAY) and the 21" or 25" screens are undesirable for use with an audience
of over 40 attendees.
LCD PROJECTOR
LCD projectors must be reserved with the SCS Office prior to the conference.
Cost is $50.00 per presentation.
MICROPHONES/AMPLIFICATION EQUIPMENT
This will be available for every meeting room where more than 40 attendees
are expected.
COMPUTERS
Speakers bringing microcomputers for demonstration during their session
should notify the EPD office at least four weeks in advance of the meeting
so that a table and power will be available. A limited number of PC-compatible
computers will be made available for conference sessions. Speakers
are responsible for their computer systems and must MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO
PAY FOR THE EQUIPMENT THEMSELVES. EPD accepts no liability for them.
