PresentationFormat

Presentation format for WGP09

The presentation slot is 25 minutes, followed by 5 min for the discussant and 10 min for general discussion.

Style-wise I'd like all presentations to maximise the interaction with the other participants - perhaps fit in a few "exercises" to solve or a demo or something else in the style of "a workshop / a summer school / teamwork" rather than just "a lecture". The discussant's role is to spark discussion, to give an "outsiders view" and to relate the paper to other generic programming research and development.

Presentation requirements

I'm assuming that each presenter will be using their own laptop, and connecting to the data projector in the lecture theatre. Please let me know in advance if this is not the case, and you have different requirements (eg you're not bringing a laptop and want a computer to be provided, or you need a whiteboard or overhead projector).

Discussant

Each technical talk will have a discussant. Each discussant will read the paper ahead of time, will comment on the paper following the presentation, and before opening the floor to questions. The goal is to guide meaningful and focused discussions of the paper, to help bring out the best in the work, and to position its result in the context of Generic Programming. (There is no need to prepare slides for this.)
