COMSNETS 2012: Demos and exhibits

List of Accepted Demos

COMSNETS 2012 features a "Demos and Exhibits" session designed to allow industry and researchers to showcase their latest industrial applications and research prototypes in all communications and networking related topics. This includes innovative technologies, platforms, analysis tools and applications related to (but not limited to) wireless communications, emerging markets, vehicular communications, network security, and mobile platforms. Information pertaining to the demonstrations will be included on the COMSNETS Conference CD-ROM and be published as part of the digital library update sent to all IEEE Communications Society members with an ISBN.

The poster and demo sessions will be co-located over two days to ensure maximum visibility and favor a close interaction between presenters and participants. Demo proposals are invited for both mature or innovative systems and prototypes developed for commercial use or for research purposes, from industries or universities. The submitted demo proposal should include in a maximum of 2 pages in double column format, the following:

Title, authors and contact information.
Technical content to be demonstrated.
An overview of the demonstration set-up (the inclusion of photographs of the demonstrator are encouraged) and the results that will be shown to attendees.
Any URLs that link to screen-shots, live demos, or related information
Equipment or facilities required for the system demonstration (e.g., power supplies, Internet connections, table dimensions, etc). Demonstrations could be supported by a poster describing the general set-up of the demonstration, its background and technical content to be demonstrated.

Demo participants interested to use a poster should clearly indicate it in the proposal while describing the required equipment. Proposals are to be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or PDF format to Maitreya Natu ([email protected]) . Please note that for every accepted demonstration, it is required that at least one person registers for the conference and presents the demo. Demonstrations will be selected based on their novelty, technical quality, and attractiveness of the demonstrated system.
