Event Guidelines

Preparation Aspects


Since IEEE CSR will be held as a physical event, all presenters are requested to be present in-person to give their talk, during the specified time-slot of the technical program, and answer any questions; otherwise, the paper will be considered as a no-show. The conference and workshops will have:

  • Paper presentations of 20 min duration, and
  • Invited/keynote speeches of 40 min duration.

Please, ensure that sufficient time is left for the Q&A part: indicatively, about 3–4 min for paper presentations and 6–8 min for invited/keynote speeches.

The presenters should have registered (as per the registration guidelines) to get access to the conference venue and give their talk. Therefore, the information about a paper’s presenter needs to be correctly indicated in the conference management system (CMS). If this is not the case, please update accordingly also notifying the organizers about the change.

During the Session


  • Join the session at least 10 minutes in advance so that the session can start on time.
  • Transfer your presentation’s file (MS Powerpoint or Adobe Acrobat) to the conference’s laptop and ensure it looks as it should be.
  • Indicate that you are a presenter when asked by the session chair at the beginning of the session.
  • Be mindful of the time limits and do not exceed your presentation’s expected duration.

General Aspects


  • Introduce the session and ask the attendees who the presenters are.
  • Introduce each paper’s title, the list of authors, and the presenter before the talk.
  • Moderate the Q&A part of each presentation.
  • Ensure that time is strictly adhered to and is not extended past the allocated time.
  • Conclude the session and check attendance.
  • Report any issue to the general chairs, including no-show papers.

During the Session


  • Join the session at least 10 minutes in advance so that the session can start on time.

  • Be mindful of the time limits and notify the presenters if their talk is about to exceed the expected duration.
  • Feel free to ask your own questions, particularly if there are not many from attendees.
