Types of Presentation

These Guidelines describe two types of presentation.

Contributed Presentation.

You submit a paper on your own which may be presented in a lecture (15 minutes including discussion) or poster format.

Mini-symposium Talk.

You should be invited to give a talk by the organiser of a mini-symposium. The organiser should provide you with the mini-symposium proposal reference number (MSP) which you should quote on your submission form.

If you want to find more about mini-symposia or consider organising one, please consult the separate Mini-symposia Guidelines

ICIAM 99 and the conference organising committee will not reimburse speakers for their expenses, including the conference fee.

Preparation of the Proposal

The Speakers should provide the following information:

• Personal Details: Provide your full name, affiliation, e-mail address. telephone and fax numbers.
• Title of the Submission: Describe the subject of your talk as accurately and specifically as possible in not more than ten words.
• Abstract: Describe your talk in not more than 100 words. The abstract should be written to attract those who specifically work on your topic as well as those who work in related areas. If your work is done in collaboration, please include the names of your co-authors in the abstract.
• Subject Classification: To help us schedule your lecture or poster presentation, please indicate at least one but not more than three subjects from the list on the form (in order of preference) which best describe your proposal. Leave these fields blank if you are submitting an abstract for a mini-symposium talk.

We strongly advise all organisers and speakers to fill in the electronic Pre-registration Form, so we can keep you informed about future developments.

Submission of the Proposal

If you wish to present your work, you have to submit a contributed presentation or mini-symposium talk form to ICIAM 99. There are three ways of submitting the form (via Web, via e-mail, or by mail/fax); we strongly encourage you to use the first or second electronic methods.
