SMWCon Spring 2011 - Conference Presentations

This is the conference presentation page for SMWCon Spring 2011.

Please put your presentation proposals below.

Content organization
The conference material will roughly be divided along the following lines:

On Friday, April 29, there will mainly be presentations, talks, case studies and applications; you can think of it as an extension of the tutorial day at a higher level (also to help review things discussed on the tutorial day).

On Saturday, April 30, there will be more demos, panel and group discussions (questions and answers). The purpose of the day is to learn more, explore more and be inspired: see how far SMW can go.

Please submit your proposals accordingly (''Note: there is not a clear line to separate the content from Friday and Saturday, the organization committee will likely need to shuffle the contents).

Presentation time
Please add the following when proposing a talk:


 * L: Each full/long talk/presentation/demo will be 45 minutes, including Q&A.
 * M: Each medium talk/presentation/demo will be 30 minutes, including Q&A.
 * S: Each short talk/presentation/demo will be 15 minutes, including Q&A.

The expected time can also S-M = "short-medium" or M-L "medium-long" if you are flexible - which can make the organizer committee's life a lot easier too :).

Note: There will also be 30 minutes coffee breaks in the morning and afternoon, and 1.5 hour lunch and social time every day.

Suggested format

 * (L) Title of Your Presentation, Your Name, a (short) description about your presentation and especially the context it is about. Links are optional, but definitely nice to have.
