  • Full papers: 15 mins + 5 mins for questions
  • NIER/TD papers: 8 mins + 2 mins for questions
  • Papers are presented as Live presentations. However, some authors may have problems presenting live and so can prerecord their talks and then play them during the presentation slot. If you are prerecording your talk please let your session chair know.
  • We will record the talks and upload the recordings with consent to a VISSOFT YouTube channel, details to be confirmed. There will be options to opt out from having your recording online. Consent forms will need to be signed.
