Overview

SmartGridComm will be an online event with both pre-recorded and live components

  • Keynotes talks will be given live
  • For regular papers (including workshop papers):
    • Authors of regular papers should prepare a 20 minute recording of their talk. This should be just like your “standard” conference talk. These recordings will be available before, during, and after the conference
    • During live sessions, each presenter will give a short, 3 minute summary of their paper, which will be followed by a brief Q&A session. The brief summary is just to remind the audience what your paper is about
  • At invited sessions, presenters will give live, 25 minutes talks followed by 5 minute Q&A sessions
  • Tutorials will be pre-recorded and available asynchronously. These recordings will be supplemented by live 30 minute sessions where the tutorial chairs will “advertise” their tutorial and answer questions
