Preliminary information on the conference organization


  • SCHEDULE: ILP 2008 will start early morning on September 10 and conclude around 16:00 on September 12. Time alloted for the oral presentations will be 25 minutes including questions for the long papers (main conference track), and 5 minutes for the short papers (late breaking papers track).
  • EQUIPMENT: A notebook and a data projector will be available for the presentation. The short papers will also be presented and discussed during special poster sessions. The area for each poster will be 120cm (width) X 150cm (height), that is, slightly larger than the A0 standard.
