ACM MM 2013: Call for Technical Demos

ACM MM 2013: Call for Technical Demos
Overview

As in previous years, ACM Multimedia will provide demonstration
sessions. Demos are intended as real, practical, and interactive proof
of the presenters’ research ideas and scientific or engineering
contributions, with the goal of providing multimedia researchers and
practitioners with the opportunity to discuss working multimedia
systems, applications, prototypes, or proof-of-concepts. Such a
setting allows conference attendants to view and interact first hand
with live evidence of innovative solutions and ideas in the field of
multimedia and to see leading edge research at work.

Expected Contents

Submissions are encouraged in all areas related to multimedia, as
advertised in ACM MM 2013 general call for papers.

Facility

Once accepted, demonstrators will be provided with a table (1,800mm
width), a poster board (1,200mm width), a power outlet (120V, 50Hz,
Max 600W, CEE 7/4 European standard (Please check the description in
Wikipedia)) and wireless (shared) Internet. Demo presenters are
expected to bring with themselves everything else needed for their
demo, such as hardware, laptops, sensors, PCs, etc. However if you
have special requests such as a larger space, special lighting
condition and so on, we will do our best to arrange them.

Submission Guidelines

All submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure quality. Please submit
a 2 page demo proposals in standard ACM MM 2013 format, with the
exception that the papers need not be blind. Also each demo submission
must contain a supplementary file, either in PowerPoint format (no
more than 10 slides) or in video (no longer than 3 minutes, playable
in VLC 1.1.12 or higher) explaining to the judges:

What is the scientific or engineering concept behind the work?
What is the novelty of the work and how is the work different from
existing systems/techniques?
What will be actually shown during the demo?
In addition, a PDF file of one page description about your demo booth
configuration may be provided if you have special requests. Please
note that the submission system can accept only one supplementary file
(Max 10MB). Therefore you have to compress multiple files into one ZIP
file for submitting the supplementary materials. If the size of your
supplementary materials exceed 10MB, please contact the demo chairs
and arrange a way to submit the file.
