Instructions for Paper presentation

As you know, due to COVID-19, CPE-POWERENG 2020 will be held as an online event. Since there might be some unexpected Internet problems that jeopardize live presentations, all authors are asked to kindly prepare a video presentation in advance. Therefore:

  - Authors need to prepare a Video for being presented during the online conference. The video is expected to have slides and voice-over, and if available also other aspects e.g. a demonstrator, etc. E.g. You can generate it with Powerpoint, recording your presentation and saving it as MPEG4. The 1st slide presented in the video should include the title of the paper, the authors, and the presenter’s name should be highlighted (e.g. in Bold or underscored). It could also be nice if you record the introduction (1st slide) with camera on. Each video will be shown to conference participants online, and Q&A with the author(s) will follow. So, authors MUST attend the sessions online (via ZOOM platform) and be ready to answer questions.

Links to the ZOOM sessions will be sent later.

Name: name of the presenter (plain text without spaces)
