1. Contributed talks are 20 minutes including questions.

2. Special Focus talks are 20 minutes including questions.

3. Refereed talks are 30 minutes including questions.

4. Invited talks are 30 minutes including questions if the session has three speakers. If there are more than three speakers, the organizer determines the length of each talk.

5. Rooms will be equipped with laptop projectors and screens. We expect that everyone will use her or his own laptop to give her or his talk. If you do not intend to use your laptop, and want to use someone else's, feel free to email other speakers in your session and arrange to share. It is your responsibility to arrange this.

6. We do not plan to have overhead projectors available unless requested. If you'd like to use an overhead projector, please email Amy (Amy.Braverman@jpl.nasa.gov) no later than May 15, 2006. Also, don't forget to bring a marker.

7. Please arrive at your session at least ten minutes early, and contact the session chair to check that your laptop works properly with the projector.

8. The Westin's AV technicians will be standing by during the meeting. If you experience technical problems, your first course of action is to tell your session chair. If the chair can't solve your problem and you can't find a technician, come to the Interface registration desk in the Santa Rosa Foyer.

9. All speakers must register for the symposium, and we cannot waive your fees. If this is an issue, please apply for financial aid.

10. Although there is wireless service in the Westin's meeting rooms, please do not count on being able to access the internet to present your talk. In particular, the service can be unreliable in the Fountain rooms.
