Call for Demonstrations

The BNCOD 2009 conference will be accompanied by a demonstration stream. We invite proposals for the demonstration of systems and software that will provide practical illustrations of the outcomes of research in the topics of the conference.

Researchers and/or research teams wishing to demonstrate software and/or hardware at the conference should submit a proposal, of up to three pages, formatted according to guidelines used by Springer Verlag for their LNCS series. This format can be found at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0

Proposals for demonstrations should set out the following:

• The overall architecture of the system or technology to be demonstrated;
• The motivation and novelty of the work;
• A description of the demonstration scenario, which explains what delegates will experience if they attend the demonstration.

The decision to accept proposed demonstrations will be made by the conference programme committee. Accepted demonstration proposals will be included in the conference proceedings.

Deadlines

Time for delegates to attend demonstrations will be built into the conference schedule and authors of accepted proposals will be expected to be available to demonstrate throughout the duration of the conference. This will consist of a half hour demonstration period on each of the three days of the main conference. Further demonstration time will available in parallel with main conference sessions.

Submission is in electronic PDF format via the EasyChair system. Submission of demonstration proposals, unlike research papers, is NOT anonymous, and the author(s) name and affiliation(s) must be contained within the submitted document. The submission must be a single PDF file, should not exceed 3 pages and must be submitted to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bncod09 to the BNCOD09-Demonstrations track.
