Instructions for Posters:
At present, the size of the available size for posters is 1.8m
wide by 1.2m high (we have decided to go for bigger poster
boards than originally quoted to allow more space around posters
as there are now 28 posters in the session). The posters will
be attached to the Poster Boards using Velcro stickers provided
by the Symposium Organizers. It is the responsability of the
author(s) to choose the way the poster is presented (single sheet
or multi-sheet) as long as it fits within the available space.
If a table, chairs or power-points are required for the display
of hardware, please let the Organizing Committee know as soon
as possible.
