CALL FOR DEMONSTRATION PAPERS
IEEE CCNC 2007 solicits demonstrations of the latest
in bleeding edge technology in consumer communications and
networking. We invite researchers and developers from academic,
industrial, and government laboratories to present their novel
ideas, including works in progress and results that do not warrant a
full technical paper. CCNC also welcomes demonstrations of emerging
and innovative technologies that have potential commercial
application from nascent and incubating companies. Technology
demonstrations, however, must be prototypes and/or research ideas -
they cannot consist of actual commercial products. CCNC will
feature a special session that will showcase technology
demonstrations. A special Venture Advisory Committee, which will
include corporate venture managers and venture industry
representatives, will help judge the demonstrations. A Best
Demonstration Award will be given to the top demonstration, as
determined by the Venture Advisory Committee and the Demonstration
Committee. The CCNC demonstration session will provide an exciting
forum for researchers, developers, and entrepreneurs to present and
discuss new applications and techniques, research demonstrations,
recent research/implementation results, upcoming research
challenges, practical implementations, commercial developments,
future directions, and novel. We envision the demonstration session
as a means to exhibit innovations that have the potential to change
the future landscape of consumer communications and networking! At
the Las Vegas Convention Center you can see glossy product demos
inadequately explained by marketing types in suits. At CCNC we want
to see raw technology, explained by people who are actually creating
it and care about the technology itself! Summaries of accepted
demonstrations will be published in the conference proceedings.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions should be in the form of a proposal describing the main contributions
of the demonstration and the merits of the proposed ideas. Be as specific as possible
in describing what you will show; authors should indicate if their demonstration
presentation is a prototype or a poster. A technology prototype can range from a
mockup using computers (instead of actual consumer devices) to a full-fledged collection
of networked consumer devices. A poster is an approximately 30" by 40" rectangular board
on which you can place text and figures describing your research. Of course, many
variations are possible. Proposals that demonstrate actual prototypes should include
space, power and networking requirements. A Demonstration Committee, headed by the
demonstration chair, will evaluate proposals. Proposals will be evaluated mainly based
on their potential to stimulate interesting discussions, exchange of ideas, and promote
collaborations.
DEMONSTRATION PRESENTATION FORMATS
PROTOTYPES: A technology prototype can range from a mockup using computers
(instead of actual consumer devices) to a full-fledge collection of networked
consumer devices. Many variations are possible. Tables and power will be provided.
Computers and devices will not be provided; if you intend to exhibit a prototype,
please bring your own equipment with all the software you need. A poster may also
accompany a prototype.
POSTERS: A poster is an approximately 30" by 40" rectangular board on which you
can place text and figures describing your research. You may choose to print out several
sheets of papers, or a single large poster paper (these can be printed, for example, from
Powerpoint files through document companies). A poster should provide a concise summary
of your work, and diagrams or other graphics are strongly encouraged.
DEMONSTRATION PRESENTATION
Accepted demonstrations will be presented during a special demonstration session during
the conference. You will be expected to stand next to your exhibit and discuss your work
with other conference attendees. You may also wish to provide additional handouts that
explain your work in more detail, indicate where to find more information, etc. Please
consult the demonstration chair if you are uncertain whether your demonstration falls
within the scope of the conference or if you require additional information.
