Call for Demonstration Proposals for ICSC2010

IEEE ICSC 2010: The Fourth IEEE International Conference
on Semantic Computing, Pittsburg, PA, USA
September 22-24, 2010

http://www.ieee-icsc.org/

The IEEE ICSC 2010 organizing committee invites proposals for 
demonstrations to
be given at the conference. The demonstrations provide a forum for 
researchers
as well as industry participants to demonstrate working systems, 
applications,
tools or showcases of base technologies to the conference atteendees. 
The goal
of the demonstrations is to show a spectrum ranging from research 
prototypes to
pilots developed and even products that use semantic technology and provide
functionality based on semantics in the context of semantic computing.
For submissions to this event, it is very important to describe the
demonstration setup, functionality and benefit to the viewer of the
demonstration. Technical background discussion can be presented at the
actual demonstration or can be submitted as an industry track or regular
conference paper; the focus of the demonstration themselves should be to 
show
the functionality to viewers. It is expected that the demonstrations are 
highly
interactive.

Topics for demonstrations include but are not limited to:
* Content and Information Management
* Knowledge Engineering
* Data Mining
* Semantic Database Theory and Systems
* Service-oriented Architectures and Computing
* Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services
* Multimedia Semantics
* Audio and Speech Processing
* Natural Language Processing
* Semantic Search Technologies and Applications
* User Interfaces

Demonstrations are ideally demonstrating a system or application that 
clearly
shows the benefit of using and deploying semantics and semantic 
technologies.
In addition, tools and base technologies that implement or use semantic
technology or semantic approaches are invited for demonstration.

Demonstration Setup

The demonstrations are planned to be a single event during a conference
reception function, open to all conference attendees, with the goal of 
open and
constructive discussions. One table will be provided with power as well 
as an
Internet connection. Posters can be put up behind or next to the tables
(depending on the space) either on pin boards or the wall. Demonstrators 
must
bring any additional equipment they require as no equipment will be 
provided by
the conference.

Demonstration Submissions

Authors submitting papers to the demonstrations must submit a 2-page 
paper that
clearly outlines the demonstration that will be set up and the 
functionality a
visitor to the demonstration can observe. The technical background, such 
as the
architecture or algorithms, should not be described in detail; such a
description would be better submitted to the industry track or main 
conference
paper track. Including links to supporting material, e.g. a video on the 
web or
a web-based demo itself, is highly encouraged. All submissions must be 
in double
-column IEEE format and follow the specific submission guidelines on the
ICSC2010 web page. The Conference Proceedings will be published by the IEEE
Computer Society Press and the accepted demonstration submissions will be
included in the conference proceedings.
