3. Presenting authors receive 30 free copies of papers.

Each presenting author receives 30 free copies of his paper. Each paper will be assigned an AES convention paper number; these numbers are posted here. The free copies of your paper will be available ONLY at the AES Publications Booth (Foyer - Papers Area) in Hall 7 of Paris Expo and give your paper number when picking up your 30 copies. If you wish to purchase additional copies, contact Mike Williams before May 15. Payment for extra copies (0.50 Euros per copy) is due when you pick them up at the AES Publications Booth.


4. Session chairs.

All presenting authors, both lectures and posters, should meet in the Authors' Room (which is equipped with a Windows PC and a desk-jet printer) at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start of their session. All lecture papers are scheduled for 20-minute presentations, which will include a short introduction of the presenting author and a 5 min change-over period. Authors who have chosen the option of a Lecture-and-Poster presentation will therefore have 15 mins for their presentation - questions can be answered during the associated poster session. Authors who have chosen the Lecture-Only presentation can either use the 15 mins for their presentation with no questions, or they can allow 10 mins for their presentation and 5 mins for questions. Authors are requested to remain in the lecture room throughout the session to answer follow-up questions that may arise during or after other papers in the session. The session chairs are:

P1: Helmut Wittek
P2: Tim Brooks
P3: Natanya Ford
P4: Christophe Musialik
P7: Jan Berg
P8: Pauli Minaar
