Procedure of presentation
Each poster session starts with a short plenary introduction (20 min.)
of the presented papers where the session chair shortly mentions the
main results of each paper. The poster presentation is located in a
different room where the posters have to be suspended on movable walls
before the session. The presenters of the posters shall stand next to
their poster and be prepared to talk about their work and answering
specific questions.
