1.  Video Presentation
  • MDM 2022 aims at live presentations. It is important that participants interact in the best possible way. However, since accidents can happen, a presentation video will have to be provided to the organizers in cases of severe network disruptions that will constitute a live presentation problematic.
  • The video will also become part of a new online MDM library (namely YouTube). At the same time this will facilitate a more effective video streaming during the conference.
  • Name your video as v#ID.mp4 where #ID is the id of your paper in the CMT
  • It is important for the presentation to show the face of the speaker. Avoid dry presentations that only show slides with voice over.
