Hi Marcelo and JJMerelo!

Thank you both for your comments :-) PPSN has a very interesting model that can serve as an example to other conferences. But I also agree that it can be improved in some aspects. The session chairs must be carefully chosen and should have only one session. Reviewing around 15 papers and talk about each one of them in 2 slides is not an easy task! But in the end, I think I still prefer this model instead of the classic: 15min talk + 5min for questions (each most of the times are not that interesting or useful), with lots of parallel sessions and a poster section that only contains the “almost rejected” papers.

All the best,
Jorge

The presentation works well if the presenters do their homework, which didn’t always happen this time…

Hi, Jorge!

Thank you very much for your comment at my blog and for pointing to your PPSN X personal summary. :)

It’s interesting: So far, I have heard of no negative reviews concerning the PPSN approach. Maybe, it could be a model to follow for others EC conferences. If so, the, let’s say, personal networking productivity would be much higher for EC researchers.

By the way, I put a follow up link to your PPSN summary post:
