About Lectures

• A Lecture is a presentation of a technical paper detailing cutting-edge, emerging technology. The described technology has been successfully field tested at least once.
• Lectures consist of 30 to 35 minutes of presentation and 10 to 15 minutes of questions and discussion. Normally, two lectures are presented consecutively in one 90 minute time slot.
• Lecture papers are published in the symposium Proceedings.
