Key to Session and Paper Numbering

Each Session is indicated by two letters and two digits, e.g. Mo3.1
Each paper has a programme number indicated by two letters and three digits, e.g. Mo3.1.5

The two letters represent the abbreviation of the week day in which the session takes place:
Mo = Monday, Tu = Tuesday, We = Wednesday, Th = Thursday

The first digit indicates the quarter of the day of the session:
1 = first session of the day, 2 = after the morning coffee break, 3 = after the lunch break, 4 = last session of the day

The second digit indicates in which room the session takes place: Room 1 – Room 7 (P indicates Poster Area)
