- Subject: SUGI 18 Conference Schedule
- Lines: 38

- Jerry Oglesby, conference chair, asked that I pass along the
- following information. I'm not including it to start the SUGI
- schedule discussion anew! Rather than rehash the pros and cons of
- the schedule, I suggest we wait and see how it works out. These
- changes were necessitated by circumstances beyond SUGI's control. If
- you have comments, please send them to me privately, and I'll see
- that Jerry gets them.
-
- Due to space considerations, The NYC conference will be split between
- two hotels directly across the street from each other. In order to
- accommodate folks who need to go back and forth between papers,
- papers will start on either the half hour or the hour, and will
- either be 20 or 50 minutes long. 10 minutes was determined to be a
- reasonable amount of time to allow given the physical layout, etc.
- Morning Afternoon
- Start End Start End
- 8:00 8:20 1:30 1:50
- 8:30 8:50 2:00 2:20
- 9:00 9:20 2:30 2:50
- 9:30 9:50 3:00 3:20
- 10:00 10:20 3:30 3:50
- 10:30 10:50 4:00 4:20
- 11:00 11:20 4:30 4:50
- 11:30 11:50 5:00 5:20
- If an invited paper started at 8:00, it would end at 8:50; if
- starting at 8:30, it would end at 9:20, etc. Schedules for Tutorials
- and Online Demos and Hands on Workshops will be adjusted to conform
- to the new schedule.
-
- Obviously, this will reduce the number of papers which can be
- accommodated- at a time when we expect a very large attendance. With
- limited space, it may be necessary to limit the conference
- registrations. After years of theoretical discussions of having a
- schedule based on 30 minute time blocks, I guess we'll find out in
- actuality (but contributed papers will still be 20 minutes long).
