CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS
 
                IEEE Computer Society Conference on 
              Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
 
 			   Web Site:

 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.

 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
   Submission of a CVPR demonstration proposal consists of the
   following three steps, to be performed by the deadline date:
  1. Demonstration information: An email in simple raw text should be sent to 
     kyros@cs.rochester.edu containing (1) the title of the demonstration, 
     (2) the list of participants and their affiliations, (3) the phone, 
     email and fax of the main contact person, (4) equipment you will bring
     with you, (5) equipment you are asking CVPR to try to provide, (6) average
     time to run a demonstration, and (7) a list of published papers, if any, 
     that describe the demonstrated system in more detail.
  2. 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. Video clips (optional): You are also encouraged to submit video clips 
     (in MPEG or QuickTime format) in support of your proposal. 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.
