Interactive session

Interactive session is a presentation format newly established on the organized session in SCIS&ISIS2020. First, an oral presentation will be given, and after that, Q&A will be held in front of a poster. The interactive Q&A section enables deeper discussions. The procedure for conducting an interactive session is as follows.

Organized session proposers select "Interactive" at OS proposal. The papers in the interactive sessions will be treated as oral presentations.
Authors may request their preference from Full or Short paper.
Each author should prepare both oral presentation for 5-8 minutes and a poster. The specifications of the poster are the same as the poster session.

Demonstration is also possible in front of the poster (The demonstration is optional).
