Organization of the Parallel Sessions
The program allocates 25 minutes to each paper in the parallel sessions. In order to facilitate switches from one session to another, we urge session chairs to strictly enforce this time limit. We suggest 15-20 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for the discussant. Whether there is time for general questions depends on how long you present.
Discussants
Discussants are responsible for obtaining the paper to which they have been assigned. Papers can be downloaded from www.creedexperiment.nl/pc2007/ocs/papers.php.
Coffee Breaks
During all coffee breaks complimentary coffee, tea and fresh water will be served from two serving points in the main hall.
Lunches
On Friday, lunch bags will be distributed in the main hall. On Saturday and Sunday lunch will be served in Restaurant Agora, directly adjacent to the main hall.
