ICS-2020 conference program

With the transition to a virtual conference, the general co-chairs, program co-chairs and workshops and tutorials co-chairs developed a conference program organized to maximize participation across a wide range of time zones.

  • Two workshops and two tutorials during the first day of ICS-2020, developed as live events through parallel Zoom webinar sessions.
  • Three keynote sessions organized as live events through a Zoom webinar session.
  • Seven paper sessions organized as a combination of recorded and live events. For the recorded part, the authors provided a video that was available a week before the conference days from this program page. The live part of the paper sessions was organized as a combination of short presentations for each paper (5 minutes per paper) and a discussion for all the papers presented in the session. Attendees to the session were expected to listen first to the recorded presentations. The live sessions were organized as Zoom webinars.
  • And a final panel session, also organized as a live Zoom webinar.

From this page, you can access to the pre-recorded presentations for conference papers as well as to the recorded webinars for workshops and conference sessions.
