CONFERENCE STRUCTURE
The conference will consist of:
1. LECTURES - these will be delivered by invited speakers as well as those selected from the paper submissions.

the day.

FIVE-MINUTES-OF-FAME – Ten five minute presentations

along with their significance, challenges, results and applicability.
5.
WORK-IN-PROGRESS (online) – This will be a forum for presentation of research
(master’s theses, PhD theses, etc.) and industry solutions for critical
review/input. This is meant to provide an interaction opportunity for
researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their work and to
obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. It gives conference
attendees a way to learn about research projects whose preliminary results
are interesting. It also provides presenters with an excellent opportunity
to receive invaluable feedback from knowledgeable sources.

including online tools, research, and rich content. Each presenter will use their own support materials (laptops,
