Call for Demonstration Proposals for ICSC2009
The demonstrations provide a forum for researchers as well as industry
participants to demonstrate working systems, applications, tools or
showcases of base technologies to the conference atteendees. The goal
of the demonstrations is to show a spectrum ranging from research
prototypes to pilots developed and even products that use semantic
technology and provide functionality based on semantics in context of
semantic computing. For the submissions to this event, it is very
important to describe the demonstration setup, functionality and
benefit to the viewer of the demonstration. Technical background
discussion can be presented at the actual demonstration or can be
submitted as an industry track or regular conference paper; the focus
of the demonstration themselves should be to show the functionality to
viewers. It is expected that the demonstrations are highly
interactive.
Topics for demonstrations include but are not limited to:
* Content and Information Management
* Knowledge Engineering
* Data Mining
* Semantic Database Theory and Systems
* Service-oriented Architectures and Computing
* Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services
* Multimedia Semantics
* Audio and Speech Processing
* Natural Language Processing
* User Interfaces
As noted in the main conference call for papers, systems and
applications is one of the main topics of ICSC2009. Demonstrations are
ideally demonstrating a system or application that clearly shows the
benefit of using and deploying semantics and semantic technologies. In
addition, tools and base technologies that implement or use semantic
technology or semantic approaches are invited for demonstration.
Demonstration Setup
The demonstrations are planned to be a single event during a
conference reception function, open to all conference attendees, with
the goal of open and constructive discussions. One table will be
provided with power as well as an Internet connection. Posters can be
put up behind or next to the tables (depending on the space) either on
easels or the wall. Demonstrators must bring any additional equipment
they require as no equipment will be provided by the conference.
Demonstration Submissions
Authors submitting papers to the demonstrations must submit a 2-page
paper that clearly outlines the demonstration that will be set up and
the functionality a visitor to the demonstration can observe. The
technical background, such as the architecture or algorithms, should
not be described in detail; such a description would be better
submitted to the industry track or main conference paper
track. Including links to supporting material, e.g. a video on the web
or a web-based demo itself, is highly encouraged. All submissions must
be in double-column IEEE format and follow the specific submission
guidelines on the ICSC2009 web page. The Conference Proceedings will
be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and the accepted
demonstration submissions will be included in the conference
proceedings.
