CALL FOR DEMOS

7th IEEE International Conference on
Pervasive Computing and Communications
PerCom 2009
Galveston, Texas, March 9-13, 2009

**** Demos Proposals Deadline - November 23, 2008 ****

PerCom 2009 will provide a high profile, leading edge forum for researchers and engineers to present their latest research in the field of pervasive computing and communications. Real experimentation has proven to be a fundamental methodology to evaluate pervasive computing and communication systems. Early prototyping is an outstanding way to understand real user requirements and help adoption of pervasive technologies by the mass market.

In this view, the PerCom 2009 technical sessions will be naturally complemented by a demo session showing real-systems prototypes at work, thus stimulating discussions among the attendees. Demonstration proposals from both academia and industry are sought.

Highlights:
  • Authors of all accepted demos will be invited to provide a SHORT DEMO PAPER (3 pages) describing the demo features. Short demo papers will be included in the PerCom proceedings.
  • PerCom 2009 will grant a "Best Demo Award" based on both the technical contribution and the innovation.
Demo proposals must show a significant relevance to pervasive computing and networking. The page limit is 3 IEEE conference proceedings format 2-column pages (including references, figures and tables, at least 11pt font). All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous review process.

Demo proposals must describe the demo research framework, and what PerCom attendees will be able to enjoy and experiment. The proposal MUST also include the technical requirements for the demo. These pieces of information will be taken into consideration, together with the technical value of the proposed demo, in the review process, to ensure the demo feasibility within the PerCom program and the potential impact on the attendees. Demo proposals must be submitted as a SINGLE PDF FILE via e-mail to the demo chair (percom09demo@iit.cnr.it), with Subject: "PerCom 2009 Demo Submission".
