Presenter Instructions

As you are already aware, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced the NOMS 2020 conference to go online - as such, there was the need to adjust the conference session formats in order to make them compatible with an online synchronous event. Naturally, technical sessions were not exempt from this.

You are asked to get prepared to do you presentation via Webex Events, which is available on all major computer platforms and in browser, as well.

Please prepare with a 16:9 sized presentation format either in pdf or ppt(x) that you can share from your computer.

Dedicated Webex Events sessions will be assigned to the technical sessions, where you can share your screen and give a live talk together with camera feed. You will have a 30 minutes long slot altogether, including take over the screen, give the talk and give room for the questions (to be collected in the chat field of Webex Events). Hence, the maximum length of the presentation 20 minutes, please do not exceed that. The presenter must be available on-line for take the questions and answer them part of the slot, even if the presentation is pre-recorded. Each session will have a chair as usual, who will give the control to the actual presenter.

A guided test session will be provided where you can check your presentation.

While we all prefer live presentation (even if on-line), it is wise to have a plan B for unexpected situations. As a best practice we suggest all authors to prepare a pre-recorded video of their presentation (e.g., ppt with voice-over, or even more elaborated video styles; uploaded as a hidden YouTube video). Even if we use a pre-recorded video, the author has to be there for the Q & A session, otherwise the paper cannot make it into the proceedings and IEEExplore.

Please upload your presentation material (pdf/ppt or video, even a zip file) to JEMS latest after your presentation. A dedicated upload possibility is opened for that case.

More technical details should come, they will available at https://noms2020.ieee-noms.org/authors.

Don’t hesitate to contact the chairs, in case you have any doubts.

Best Regards,
--NOMS 2020 TPC Chairs
