Rules for chairing contributed talk sessions:
1. All contributed papers are allotted 30 minutes in total (20-minute presentation + 10-minute discussion). Please note that few sessions might have open slots, but even for these sessions, presentations should follow the 30-minute format (presentations based on contributed papers should not exceed the maximum time of 30 minutes under any circumstances).
2. The order of presentation within sessions should always follow the order published on http://clmps2015.sched.org. This will allow people to move between papers during sessions and prevents them from missing the presentations they wish to hear.
3. In case of cancellations and no shows that happen on site, the chairs are advised to keep a 30-minute break in place of the cancelled presentation. It is of vital importance that chairs take these breaks so that people who change between sessions do not miss presentations that they wish to hear!
4. For the latest updates to the programme chairs should always check the latest version of CLMPS 2015 Sched in the beginning of the session and take all the breaks marked on Sched. The congress room PCs can be used for this and the conference assistants are happy to help with this. The Sched programme is here: http://clmps2015.sched.org
5. If you are chairing a session in which you are also a speaker, please ask one of the other speakers of the session to chair your presentation when it is your time to present.
6. The conference assistants will visit all session rooms before the sessions start and inform you if there are any cancellations in your session. The assistants will also bring water for the speakers and provide technical assistance.
