CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Web Site: http://cvpr2000.cs.uiuc.edu/demos.html PURPOSE CVPR's demonstration session is an opportunity for members of the vision and pattern recognition research communities to present and exchange ideas in an interactive way. A key feature of this session are the on-going live demonstrations given by its participants. These demonstrations present all or part of a working system developed for Vision and Pattern Recognition tasks. We encourage both Industry and Academic organizations to participate in this session. In addition to space and equipment support during the demonstration session, demo proposals accepted for presentation at CVPR2000 will be allocated a maximum of 2 pages in the conference proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for receipt of demonstration proposals 10 February 2000 Acceptance notification by 23 February 2000 Camera-ready demonstration summary due to IEEE-CS Press 17 March 2000 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submission of a CVPR demonstration proposal consists of the following three steps, to be performed by the deadline date: 1.

Camera-ready demonstration summary: A second email containing a camera-ready description of the demonstration in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) or uncompressed Postscript format should also be sent to kyros@cs.rochester.edu. This description will be included in the CVPR proceedings upon acceptance of the proposal and should not be longer than TWO pages including figures and references. The description should conform to the format instructions for regular CVPR papers. See URLs http://cvpr2000.cs.uiuc.edu/CVPRSubmitGuide.html 3.

A web page containing summaries and video clips of accepted demonstrations will be available after acceptance decisions are made. More information about how to submit video clips will be available at the CVPR2000 demos web page by mid-January. Interested participants are encouraged to check last year's CVPR demonstration web page, located at http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~cvpr99/demos.html. If accepted, you will need to bring a poster for use in the session. You are also encouraged to bring along a video demonstration. For those people who are reluctant to ship monitors, we are willing to entertain providing monitors by special arrangement. We encourage participants to bring as much of their own equipment as possible.
