Build Your Own Conference Program


 

 

Build Your Own Conference Program

You may build your own personalized conference program using our interactive tool, to print and bring with you so you do not miss any sessions of your interest.



To use this interactive tool, simply follow the instructions below:

1) Log in our conference management system (www.digitalpapers.org/wctr2010), with your usual login details (you may wish to skip this step and go directly to the interactive program which is available here; however, please note that in this case some of the features described below will be lost);



2) Go to the menu “User options” and then choose “My programme”;

The program screen will appear, and you will see a grid in which the columns are the different rooms and lines stand for the different time slots. Scroll left / right to see the different rooms, and up / down for the different times / days.


SEEING THE SESSIONS’ CONTENT

On this grid you can see several blocks, each corresponding to the different conference sessions. Passing your mouse over each block will display the complete session time and full name on the top of the screen (just below the system’ menus).

If you wish to see the full session content and other information, click on that sessions block. A small window with all the information regarding that session will open; this includes the full name of the session, beginning and ending times and the session location. You will also have a list of the papers being presented, and the possibility to read/save the abstract of each one of them (if available).


SEARCHING FOR A SPECIFIC PAPER/AUTHOR

If you wish to search for a specific paper or author, use the “Search” icon on the top right side of the screen. When you press this icon, a search window will appear with several search options (title, author, keywords); simply type your search criteria in any of these fields and press “Search”. The papers that match your criteria will be displayed, with information about the paper (ID, Title, Authors and possibility of reading/saving the abstract) and about the session where it’s being presented.

If you press a paper on this list, the session where it is being presented will be highlighted in the program screen, and you can then mark it to attend as described above.


CHOOSING SESSIONS TO ATTEND

If you wish to mark a session to attend, simply click its block and press “Mark session as to attend” in the session information window; A “operation was successful” message will appear, and a small icon will appear on the block.

To unmark a previously marked session, simply click on its block and press “Unmark session as to attend”


PRINTING YOUR PROGRAM

After selecting all the sessions you wish to attend, you can print your program to bring along with you. To do this, simply press the “Print personalized” icon on the top right side of the screen. (You can also print the full programme by choosing the “Print Full” option).



Note:
You do not need to define your programme all at once. After defining some sessions to attend, you can log off the Conference Management System and return later, as your program will be saved in your account in the system.



Disclaimer:
We will try to keep the “My Programme” tool updated with the most recent program version. However, last minute changes are inevitable, so you must always look for the last changes to the program displayed on the conference site.
