How to become a presenter at the VISSIM User Group Meeting
Presentations are invited from a variety of working backgrounds, being they consultancies, public sector or University. Bearing in mind that this year applications of VISSIM with an emphasis on 3D visualization for public enquiries are very much in demand, if you have applied VISSIM (but, also, VISUM applications are welcome) to any problem that could be of interest to other participants, please get in touch. We will need to have a title accompanied by an abstract of 200-300 words by May 14th 2004. Presenters should then submit their papers and/or handout slides by May 31st The compliance with these deadlines will enable us to prepare the documentation to be circulated at the User Group Meeting well in advance. Presentations will last 15-25 minutes, with some time for questions at the end.
