If you successfully join the test webinar, you will see a Smiley face spinning and hear some music; this indicates that the animation and audio functions are working properly. However, if you see a still image of a Smiley face and hear some music, the host PC may have some problems; then, please try again (several hours) later. If you see a message saying that registration approval is pending, then the email address you entered might be different from the one you registered for SICE2020; please check your email address, and try again with your registered email address.
If you are unable to join the real-time sessions (the Zoom webinars) with the email address that you registered for SICE2020, due to company policy or some other reasons, you can register an alternative email address from the following site: https://forms.gle/5ZjhXjaDASPgJZEE9.
By entering your registered and alternative email addresses on the above site by 00:00 (UTC) on 18th September 2020, you can join the webinars with the alternative email address. Please note that the alternative email address is only to join the webinars, and please use the email address that you registered for SICE2020 to access the online conference site. After registering an alternative email address, you may receive some emails about cancellations of webinars at the registered email address. Please ignore the emails.
If you have any questions, please let us know by email at ytanaka [at] gunma-u.ac.jp.
Presentation Guidelines for SICE2020
Overview
-
All presentations will be delivered using a VoD streaming service. Speakers will be asked to submit their pre-recorded presentation videos (15 mins/presentation) about two weeks prior to the virtual conference. The presentation videos will be posted on the SICE2020 Online Conference Site on Thursday 24th September and will remain available for viewing for a week. Please note that only registered participants can access the videos and download the proceedings in PDF format.
-
Each presentation will be provided with a chat box for Question and Answer (Q&A). (You can upload image files or PDF files from the chat box to display equations or other necessary materials.) The chat box will also be open for one week starting Thursday 24th September, after the presentation videos have been posted. Questions and answers can be posted during the week and also during the interactive Q&A sessions (see 3 for details).
-
Interactive Q&A sessions will be held in the morning of 25th or 26th September (Thailand time, GMT+7). The presentations, except live (real-time) presentations, are divided into four groups with different core times for live Q&A, as shown in the table below. During the one-hour core time, the presenters are requested to monitor their own chat box and answer questions. You can find your assigned group ID (e.g., FrB, SaA) in the Conference Program.
-
In addition to the VoD presentations described above, live (real-time) presentations (ThL, FrF, SaE, and SaF) and a live (real-time) special panel discussion (FrCP) will be held via a video conference system (Zoom webinar). Please refer to the “Guidelines for participating in real-time organizing sessions of SICE2020”. Please note that you need to sign in to Zoom using the email address used in your conference registration, if you have not registered an alternative email address for the live sessions.
