Papers & Presentation Papers available on the KBS2002 web-site Presenters are expected to bring with them copies of the papers available on the KBS2002 web-site that they will need at the symposium. Only a small number of these papers will be available at the Symposium Centre.
Late papers Participants who have not submitted their papers via Internet by May 24th Friday noon (Paris time) must bring 160 copies with them to the conference, and please see to it that your discussant receives a copy on time. Format & photocopying (late papers) Please bring copies of your paper in single-spaced, two-sided format in order to reduce the volume of paper that you and your symposium colleagues need to transport. Photocopying charges at the ASIEM are high and there will not be symposium resources to cover on-site copying costs; therefore please photocopy your paper before you leave home. Presentation equipment All sessions schedule for June 2nd and for the main symposium will have slide & overhead equipment. If you wish to use Power Point, please plan to bring your own LCD equipment. Guidelines for Speakers, Discussants and Chairpersons Prior to each session, speakers and discussants are asked to locate the chairperson of his/her session. The chairperson should check that all speakers and discussants have arrived before opening the session. If speakers do not arrive promptly, the chairperson may re-arrange the order of the session presentations. Chairpersons are asked to begin the session on time. The chairperson should provide a brief introduction (name and affiliation of the presenter, names of co-authors, title of the paper). The Main Program indicates the order of presentations and the discussants assigned to the papers. Please note that the two papers (occasionally one) listed just above the discussant's name are the papers he or she is expected to comment on. The format of a session. Each session is divided into two parts. Each part includes two presentations and a comment by a discussant. Ten minutes is allotted for each presentation and 10 for the discussant, followed by 15 minutes for questions, comments and discussion from the audience. This yields a total of 90 minutes for the entire session (45 min x 2). Chairpersons, speakers and discussants for each session are encouraged to speak to one another beforehand to clarify this procedure. As the time frame is very tight, it is very important to respect the time allotted. Chairpersons will be provided with cards to indicate “3 minutes remaining”, “1 minute remaining” and “time is up”. Sessions will not be extended into the breaks. Exceeding the time limit means that the following presentations will have to be cut short. Please be considerate of your colleagues (those presenting after you and those in the audience) and adhere to the time limit. Discussants are asked to draw out comparative themes in the presentations and raise questions to open the discussion. This will increase the quality of the discussion. Thank you for your contribution in presenting a paper, chairing a session or being a discussant.
