IEEE SECON 2013 CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMOS
IMPORTANT DATES
Poster/demo submission opens: March 15, 2013
Poster/demo submission deadline: April 29, 2013
Acceptance notification: May 13, 2013
SCOPE
IEEE SECON 2013 will include poster/demonstration sessions that shall
provide a forum to present and discuss: works in progress, industry
demonstrations of new applications and techniques, practical
implementations, industrial and commercial developments, research
testbeds and demonstrations, recent research/implementation results,
upcoming research challenges, future directions, and novel approaches in
the fields of sensor, mesh and ad hoc communications and networks. One
of the key goals of this conference is to foster collaboration between
industry and academia. Hence, participation of researchers/developers
from industry and posters/demonstrations reporting joint work between
industry and academia are especially encouraged.
Poster submissions should be in the form of a short paper/abstract
describing the main contributions and the merits of the proposed ideas
as well as reporting initial results and the challenges towards a full
fledged solution of the problem under consideration. Abstracts will be
evaluated mainly based on their potential to stimulate interesting
discussions, exchange of ideas and promote collaborations.
Demonstration submissions will also be on the basis of a short
paper/abstract describing a prototype system and/or an interesting
implementation concept as well as the merits of the proposed ideas. They
should also include the space requirements and/or any other
equipment-specific requirements. Proposals will be evaluated mainly
based on their potential to stimulate interesting discussions, exchange
of ideas and promote collaborations. Submissions should not be more than
three pages (preferably IEEE conference format, 2-column) in length. The
documents must contain the authors' names, affiliations, and contact
information and the designated corresponding author.
Accepted authors of posters/demos will have a space in the poster/demo
session room to display their posters or exhibit their demos and
describe their work in discussions with interested attendees. Moreover,
the abstract of the accepted posters/demos will appear in IEEE Xplore.
IEEE Communications Society policy states that all accepted IEEE SECON
2012 posters/demos require at least a one day registration. For authors
co-authoring multiple posters/demos, a one day registration is valid for
up to three presentations. In addition, there needs to be at least one
person per poster/demo registered for one day in order for the abstract
to appear in IEEE Xplore.
Awards:
The IEEE Secon 2013 will also run a best poster and best demo
award competition. Awards will be based on the novelty and the potentials
of the poster/demo to drive further research. The quality of
presentation/demonstration as well as the attraction they will get
during the session will be important criteria for the award as
well.Award decisions will be announced during the reception of the main
conference and the authors will be given the opportunity to make a short
presentation of their research during the main conference.
