LAST CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS
PATAT 2006
The 6th International Conference
on the Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling
http://patat06.muni.cz
30th August - 1st September 2006
Brno, Czech Republic
-------------------------------------
Submissions for System Demonstrations
-------------------------------------
Submission deadline: January 27th
-------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit an abstract, describing the major
properties and contribution of implemented and/or commercial
timetabling systems. Abstracts should not exceed 1000 words (3-4
pages). Authors of accepted submissions in this category are
expected to provide a demonstration of their software during the
conference. Demonstration submissions will be evaluated on the basis
of their innovation, relevance and scientific contribution. The
abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings but they
will not be forwarded to the second round of refereeing for the
post-conference volume. However, authors of accepted system
demonstration abstracts are welcome to submit a full paper to the
post-conference volume if they so wish.
