WAIM 2014 Call for Demos

The 15th International Conference on Web-Age Information Management
(WAIM2014)
Call for Demos

http://www.cis.umac.mo/waim2014/
June 16-18, 2014, Macau, China


For WAIM 2014 in Macau, China, we solicit submissions for demos.
Submissions must describe working systems and be based on current web-aged
technology. These systems may be innovative prototype implementations or
mature systems that use techniques which are related to topics covered in
WAIM 2014.

Submissions to all topics listed in the “Conference Scope” under
http://www.cis.umac.mo/waim2014/ are eligible.
Demo submissions will be evaluated on relevance, maturity and technical
challenges of the demo systems, but we also pay attention on the potential
number of attendees.

Each accepted demo is required to have a poster and demonstrate during the
demo sessions. For accepted demos, demo papers will be published in a joint
volume with workshop papers by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS). Each final camera-ready demo paper will be 3 pages long,
including figures and other materials. At least one of the demo submitters
must register for the conference, and perform the demo on site. Based on
the overall performance, several demo works will be selected and offered
the BEST DEMO AWARD.

Submission Guidelines
The submission and notification process will be handled together with the
regular papers of the conference, using an online system.

https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/WAIM2014/

Instructions, camera-ready formatting and copyright transfer for conference
papers also hold for demo papers, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.

A demo submission must be up to 3 pages long. It must provide adequate
information on the system's components and the way the system is operated.
Figures, screenshots and interactive demo plans may be included if
necessary. The authors are encouraged to provide a URL that points to a
preview of the demo.

A successful demo paper provides satisfactory answers to following
questions: What makes the presented piece of software unique and special?
What are the innovative aspects or in what way/area does it represent the
state of the art? For whom is it most interesting/useful – for a
researcher, for a graduate or undergraduate student in these areas, for a
practitioner? If there are similar/related pieces of software, what are the
advantages and disadvantages of the presented one?

The formatting guidelines of Springer Verlag for the LNCS series apply, and
the author instructions and style files under
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html must be used. All submissions
should be in PDF format. For inquiries concerning submissions please
contact the Demo Track Chairs.
