Tuesday, September 18
ECMR'07 offers a SLAM Tutorial organized by Andreas Nüchter from the University of Osnabrück. Follow the link for the detailed program. Participation in the tutorial is included in the ECMR registration.
The tutorial will take place in room 101-02-016/018. This room is located in the second floor of building 101 where also the conference is held.
Wednesday, September 19
The conference will take place in room 101-00-026 of building 101. The registration desk will be right in front of the lecture hall. Each poster spotlight offers the author a short five minutes long presentation. The style of the presentation is not fixed. We recommend that every author uses a powerpoint presentation with no more than three slides to advertise his or her poster in front of the audience.
