PRESENTATION GUIDANCE

Due to growing concerns about COVID-19, DESTION 2020 will shift to a virtual workshop We are working to create a virtual workshop that will be engaging for the presenters and the attendees. Since large differences in time zones prevent us from running a synchronous virtual meeting, we expect to use CPS-VO asynchronous collaboration services for making presentation materials and tool demos available as well as for managing Q&A among participants. We know that this format is a weak substitution for the live interactions a workshop require, but it still gives participants an opportunity for making results available and getting in touch with each other.

Presentation of Accepted Papers

All accepted papers at the workshop will be presented using a pre-recorded video. Instructions for recording and submitting your presentation are below. Q&A will be conducted via the DESTION forums. Workshop participants and the public can send you questions and comments and you can posts answers directly to the forum thread.

Submission Deadline

Please submit all materials by Friday, April 17th (firm). This will allow the organizers to publish the materials to the website by Monday, April 20th.
