Scientific Program - June 18, 2002

Oral Presentations

The Links below give the ORAL portions of the FINAL scientific program. Given the reality of the limited time, and the very large attendance, we must make several compromises. We are asking the Invited speakers to give their talks in 25 minutes, leaving 10 additional minutes for discussion. The contributed talks are 10 minutes, with 5 minutes discussion. In some instances we have scheduled "joint" discussion for two consecutive talks when the subjects are similar - but leaving the same total discussion time. We have listed only the "presenting author" on the schedule, but the Abstracts will of course give the full author list.

The majority of the "oral preferred" contributed papers are actually assigned to posters, since the oversubscription ratio was 3-to-1. (If you submitted a paper with no preference, it will be a poster.) The poster titles are currently being grouped and "associated" with the corresponding oral session, and we will have that grouping posted on May 20.
