A board approximately 37 in. (width) x 63 in. (height) (94 x 160 cm) in portrait layout will be provided for the display of each poster. Supplies will be available for attaching the poster material to the display boards. Each board will be marked with the board location number. Note that the board location number may not correspond with the abstract number. Authors should furnish, as part of their poster presentation, a sign giving the abstract number, paper title and author(s) name, in lettering approximately 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) high. Free-hand lettering with a felt pen is entirely adequate.
A poster paper should be able to "stand alone," that is, be understandable even if the author is not present to explain, discuss, and answer questions. This is highly desirable because the author may not be present for the entire time the poster papers are on display, and when the author is engaged in discussion with one person, others may want to study the display without interrupting an ongoing dialogue. To meet the ‘‘stand alone'' criteria, it is suggested that authors consider the following elements for a poster. Each element can be arranged on one or more standard letter-size sheets. Where typing is needed, large font type is very effective. Careful hand lettering, at least 1/4 in. (0.6 cm) high, is also acceptable. Obviously, it may not be appropriate for any given paper to include all of the ‘‘elements'' listed below. These are merely suggestions:

1. Objective, purpose, goal, etc.
2. Background information. Prior work.
3. Assumptions, etc.
4. Experimental arrangements, block diagram, sketch, photos, parameters.
5. Outline of the theoretical development.
6. Data, graphs, tables, etc.

Graphs and photographs should be a minimum of 8x10 inches (20x25 cm). Figure captions are essential. Avoid glossy paper. Display objects, such as transducer elements or materials, demonstration tapes, etc., are excellent supplements to a poster. Since the poster paper is not archival, feel free to bring incompletely reduced data for discussion.

Posters will be displayed in halls and corridors close to the lecture session rooms of the same technical field. Detailled information on poster location will be available on the website in May.

Posters can be displayed during the whole day. You can set up your poster at 8.00 a.m. and remove it at 8.00 p.m. Your poster have to displayed at least during the duration of your poster session (i.e. 3.40 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. on tuesday 1 July).

All lecture sessions stop during poster session which is therefore the preferred time for questions and answers. However, you can discuss with other participants in front of your poster any time during the day.
