Presentation Guidelines & Logistics

The conference supports both onsite and online paper presentations. For smooth operation, all presenters (onsite and online) must upload their presentation slides and prerecorded presentation videos to EDAS by December 5, 2026.

Conference Preference: While both onsite and online presentation options are available, MCSoC strongly encourages authors to present their papers onsite whenever possible. Online presentations should be reserved for exceptional circumstances, such as visa-related difficulties, health concerns, travel restrictions, or other unavoidable situations.

Each presentation is allocated 15 minutes: 10 minutes for the talk and 5 minutes for Q&A.

Onsite Presenters

  • Prepare your slides in PowerPoint or PDF format.
  • Onsite presenters must upload their .ppt or .pdf slides and a prerecorded presentation video to EDAS by December 5, 2026.
  • Bring a copy of your slides on a USB flash drive as a backup.
  • Onsite equipment includes: projector, laser pointer, microphones, and a laptop with sound and video playback capabilities.
  • The organizing committee will prepare all presentations in advance by downloading them to the session laptops. Presenters must verify their slides on the session laptop before their talk.
    Onsite presenters are not permitted to use personal laptops, as all presentations will be managed from the session laptop prepared by the organizing committee.

Recommendation: Presenters are encouraged to use the version of slides uploaded to EDAS. Updated versions may be used if necessary; however, this is not recommended as it may create inconsistencies during session preparation.

Online Presenters

  • Online presenters must upload their .ppt or .pdf slides to EDAS.
  • Online presenters must upload a prerecorded presentation video (MP4 or narrated PowerPoint) to EDAS by December 5, 2026.
  • Presentations by online authors will be delivered by playing the prerecorded video during the assigned conference session.
  • The session chair and room moderator will play the prerecorded video. Interactive presenters are expected to be available online for Q&A.

Important: Authors choosing online participation must ensure that the uploaded prerecorded video accurately represents the final presentation of the paper. The uploaded slides and video will serve as the official presentation materials during the conference.

Access to Presentation Videos

Presentation videos of authors who have agreed to make their presentations publicly available will be published on the MCSoC YouTube Channel.

This allows authors, participants, and online presenters to view selected conference presentations asynchronously and at their convenience before, during, and after the conference.

MCSoC YouTube Channel:
MCSoC Forum YouTube Channel

Only presentations from authors who have explicitly granted permission for public release will be uploaded to the channel.

Committee Preparation

The organizing committee will download all presentation materials from EDAS and prepare them on the session laptops before the conference.

The session chair will introduce each speaker and coordinate playback of online presentations.

Access to Uploaded Materials

Links to uploaded videos and slides on EDAS will not be public. They will only be accessible to the session chairs and the organizing committee.

  • At least one author must register and present the paper.
  • No-shows may be placed on a No-Show List.
  • Registration fees are non-refundable for no-shows.
  • Presentation may be onsite or online; absence without a valid reason will be treated as a no-show.
