Innovative Production Machines and Systems Conference

I'll try to explain some of the reasoning behind this year presentation format and why video of all things.

Last year we went ambitiousy with html based presentations derived from S5. This has caused a lot of confusion for the authors. To be fair, we are not in the business of changing people's habits. So for this year we decided to simplify the procedure. You can use your favourite tool to prepare a presentation. Then capture your presentation delivery off the screen. In my opinion this is a minor headache and complication, while maintaining the advantage of presenting the content for all (ok, most) platforms.

We are working hard on seeding the papers and their abstracts in the conference forums (sessions). Unfortunately this involves quite a bit of manual intervention. When those are ready, you will be able to upload your video presentations.

• Upgrade the file modules to restore the conference papers
• Upgrade the user access, to allow differentiation between different conferences
• Install the tag clouds functionality
• Install and configure the presentations import
• Update the website user guides

I've uploaded the new website theme. It is kind of working. It should work (nearly) as intended in gecko and khtml browsers. I've noticed a couple of bugs with IE6 and a majour problem with opera. The latter stuns me, since the html and css validate.

I'm nearly there. You can view part of it already, if you change your default theme from your user's profile. The only real show stoppers are:

• the front and a couple of other compound pages
• primary menu

The website is divided into different sections. In the IPROMS 2005
menu to your right you will find various information about the
conference. At the top of the page you will find some useful shortcuts,
for example to the Support Forum. Take a time to look around and explore the website.

The virtual conference system caters for several tasks at once. It emulates a real world conference resentations and discussions, it collates the papers, presentations and the discussions in a book-like structure. We will try to guide you how to create a presentation, comment, keep yourself notified of changes and interesting discussions,how to bring different topics of the website to your desktop.
