Authors Guidelines

As CNSM 2020 will be held as a virtual conference, speakers may be able to record and submit a video of their talk by 27 October 2020. On that day speakers will receive an email, from Whova, containing an online form to submit your video, fill in your bio and complete your profile.

During the actual presentation on 2-6 November 2020, and at the start of every session, any pre-recorded video of the presentation will be played and at least one of the paper’s authors will be online to answer questions later, otherwise the paper will not be published in the IFIP digital library & IEEE Xplore.

We strongly recommend speakers to check if they are assigned to their proper paper session in the program page, and to notify the organizers if you are not the presenter of the paper or won’t be able to be present on that day.

If that is the case, you should send an email containing all the information (Full name, email, affiliation, country) about the final presenter who will replace your Whova profile account, please note that you won’t be able to access the conference content anymore. Otherwise the presenter should register for the conference with the participant rate so that both of you can have access.

Below are the exact duration of videos and Q&A sessions depending on the paper type:

Duration of video files:

• Full papers presentation video: 24 min
• Mini conference papers presentation video: 12 min
• Poster presentation video: 7 min

Duration of the Q&A sessions on Webex:

• Full papers: 6 min
• Mini conference papers: 3 min

Instructions for Video Recording

Videos should contain a prominent view of the presentation slides along with audio of the spoken presentation. Optionally videos may contain a shot of the speaker's head for increased engagement. (This shot should be thumbnail-sized and overlayed on the slide images as shown in this Youtube video here.) Many presentation software allows recording audio and video directly in the application and can export appropriate video files. Please see the notes below for detailed instructions for PowerPoint and KeyNote. If you use a different application, please see the notes under Other Options.

Recommendations:

• format: MPEG-4 (.mp4)
• aspect ratio: 16:9
• resolution: 720p
• better to be less than 250MB
• duration depending on your paper type, check above information

Other Options

Record your screen (and microphone) while giving the presentation. As a last resort, and only if you are comfortable directly editing video, you can export your slides as images, record an audio track, and combine the two.
