Instruction for Presenters

Conference proceedings

  • Proceedings of HQL2018 will be published in PoS.
  • Suggested page limits, in addition to the cover page, are,
    • 4 pages for posters
    • 6 pages for 20-minute presentations
    • 8 pages for longer presentations
  • You may add a few more pages if needed, as these are not hard limits. But please do not exceed 10 pages (+ 1 cover page).
  • Here is the advertisement from PoS
  • PoS temlate is available here: PoS-HQL2018.zip
  • Contributors will receive an instruction for the conference proceedings via email soon.
  • Contributions are peer-reviewed.

For speakers

  • Speakers are encouraged to provide a pedagogical flavor to their talks for the wide range of audience.
  • Please prepare for the 4:3 aspect ratio (1024x768 dots), and due to rather low resolution, do not use too small fonts or too thin lines for modern high resolution displays.
  • We recommend the speakers to provide their talk files in PDF format, which is usually least problematic on font and layout troubles.
  • Powerpoint format is also acceptable, but we would suggest to provide the PDF version as well, just in case of display problem.
  • If you have a special request on presentation format / software (e.g., inclusion of video), please contact us.
  • Talk files cannot be directly uploaded to the indico page due to some restriction of the server. Please go to this page using the userid and password which should be provided to speakers. (not provided yet as of May 15)

For poster presenters

  • Recommended size of the poster size is the standard A0 size, 841mm horizontal x 1189mm vertical.
  • Posters will be posted on a steel wall by small magnets, and the place is available throughout the conference period.
  • Poster session is in the Tuesday afternoon. Posters should be posted at least by lunch time of Tuesday.
  • Every poster presenter has a 5 minutes oral presentation slot with no discussion time. Please prepare up to 5 pages of slides including the cover page and follow the instructions "for speakers".
