Plenary Sessions
All attendees are welcome to the Opening and Closing
Ceremonies, in which key personalities from today's world of ITS
will present their personal views on key ITS issues.
Executive Sessions
During these sessions, invited high-level industry executives and
public officials from around the world will share their
perspectives and rich experiences with the audience. They provide
an exciting opportunity to learn about and help plan future ITS
initiatives.
Special Interest Sessions
Organised at the request of organisations or experts developing and
deploying ITS, these interactive, tailor-made meetings will delve
into topics and offer fresh perspectives and insight.
The sessions that appear to be commercial sales pitches for a given
product or company will be automatically rejected.
Technical/Scientific Sessions
These sessions are composed of presentations by
international experts on varying ITS related topics encompassing
all technical, economic, organisational and societal aspects of
ITS.
They aim to encourage and enable the exchange of information on
every aspect of ITS deployment ranging from improving the
operational use of systems and services on the one hand to research
and planning to support new applications on the other.
Interactive Sessions
To facilitate information exchange, the Interactive
Sessions will provide a two-stage presentation opportunity to
ensure that presenters can achieve the profile and audience of
interested delegates that their work deserve.
The first stage of the Interactive Session is a regular
presentation session where technical/scientific papers covering the
same topic are grouped together for presentation so they improve
the discussions on that topic. For each session of 90-minutes there
would be 16 presentations of 5 minutes each (max of 3 slides) with
no time for questions and answers. This stage would provide the
audience with a flavour of what the authors have to present.
The second stage of the session is a timeslot immediately following
the presentation where all presenters assemble for about 90
minutes in the "Market Square", using a board or a computer,
to go in depth and facilitate direct contact between speakers and
specialists giving time for one-to-one discussions.
