UPDATE: Traditionally SILAP runs three full days, and since this year we begin at 9am on Tuesday 11 December we've received inquiries about sightseeing in Toronto or field trips to Niagara Falls on Friday 14 December. In light of approaching holidays, and requests for local tourism, the co-chairs have decided not to program any talks for Friday 14 December, ending the conference with the workshop dinner on Thursday evening.
The workshop presentation sessions will consist of invited talks (20 min + 10 min questions), contributed talks (15 min + 5 min questions) and poster presentations.
The poster session will be on Wednesday 12 December, 3–6pm. Poster boards about 3' x 6', landscape orientation, supporting Euro format A0 (84x118 cm), will be set up for the afternoon poster session. The corresponding author will get further instructions about mounting of posters, when the room will be available for set-up, and which board is assigned.
All speakers are strongly encouraged to download their presentations (pdf or ppt) on the conference computer before their session. Further instructions will be made available.
