Instructions for presenters

Full papers

• Timing: 15 minutes have been allocated to each presentation, including speaker setup, talk and question period. Each speaker will talk for 10 minutes, with 3 minutes being allocated for questions and 2 for transition.

• Important: Please be at the meeting room at least 15 minutes before the start of your session. Introduce yourself to your session chair, get any last-minute instructions from him/her, and make sure your laptop works. In particular, all speakers must verify before the session begins that the laptop & projector work together. Timing is tight and therefore delays in setting up your laptop after the session starts will decrease the time you have for your talk!

• Equipment:  Audio-visual equipment will be available in the room from 8:00am. There will be a floor-standing podium, small LCD projector with screen, and microphone. The projector's input is a 15-pin VGA port.

• Meeting room: You can find the floorplan and pictures of the meeting spaces here.

• Font size:  You must make sure to use large enough fonts so that your slides are readable from the back of the room. In particular, please keep font sizes to 22pt or larger.

• Speaker Prep Room: Boardroom West will be available to authors that wish to practice their talk on-site. There will be a reservation sheet outside the room door where authors can reserve the room for 30 minute blocks.

• Wireless ethernet: Wireless ethernet connectivity will be available throughout the building, including the session rooms.

Poster presentations

The information for poster presenters is the same as above except for the following differences.

• Timing: Posters will be shown during the breaks, and there will be short presentations betwen 15:30 and 16:10. There will be 4 minutes per presentation with 1 minute transition. We would like to get all presentations on a single laptop to allow fast transitions between speakers.

• Equipment:  Posters will be presented on easels, and tables and power sockets will be available for demos.

• Poster boards: Each poster board is 4 feet (1.22m) high by 6 feet (1.83m) wide. Push pins and tacks can be used to mount posters on these boards.

Each paper will be allocated approximately 40MB for the paper and additional materials.

Papers must be formatted according the standard IEEE 2-column guidelines (identical to CVPR 2005 papers) and may be up to 8 pages in length. Procams 2005 reviews are not double-blind, so paper submissions need not be anonymized.

Authors are encouraged to submit additional materials such as videos. Papers should be submitted as PDF files.

Papers not accepted for an oral presentation will be considered for presentation as posters. There will be a best paper award. Also, papers with a full-time student as a the first author and which have been primarily written by students will be eligible for the best student paper award - authors should indicate the student status using the relevant field on the online submission site.

Dual submissions

We welcome submissions simultaneously being considered for other journals, conferences, and symposiums (but not workshops) or unpublished papers that may be submitted to future journals, conferences, and symposiums. If accepted, these papers will be treated as 'Extended Abstracts' but will get the same time as other oral presentations.

These papers should be clearly marked as 'Dual Submissions' in the title. Also, in the 'Comments to Chair' field on the online submission site please indicate again that it is a dual submission, and give the details of the other journal, conference, or symposium to which it is being sent. These papers will go through the default review process.

Submission procedure

Sumbission is now closed

All submissions will be handled electronically. Papers and additional materials should be combined into a single zip file and uploaded together.

You may make your entire submission at one time, or you can submit the meta data first (author details, abstract, etc.), and the full paper later. There are separate deadlines for abstracts and full papers, given above. You may change abstract multiple times up to the abstract deadline. You may submit the full paper multiple times up to the full paper deadline - each time the previous file will be overwritten.

If your paper is accepted for Procams please upload the final (camera-ready) version to the online submission site using the same paper id and password you used for the original submission. The deadline for camera ready versions is April 10, 2005.
