Call for Participation
Demonstrations


Demonstrations submissions are no longer being accepted.

July 9, 2004: Submissions due
August 13, 2004: Notification of acceptance
October 8, 2004: Final Demonstration abstract due

Demonstrations allow conference participants to view novel or noteworthy CSCW systems in action, discuss the systems with those who created them, and perhaps to try them out. Appropriate demonstrations include applications, technologies, research prototypes and products. Demonstrations are spaced around a large room and run concurrently within a set block of time, with attendees free to visit demos of interest. This promotes informal interaction and in-depth information exchange among demo presenters and attendees.

This forum is not an opportunity for marketing or sales presentations. Presenters must have been directly involved with the development of the system and be able to explain the differentiating and novel contributions of the system.

Demonstration proposals should be a maximum of 4 pages and should include an abstract no longer than 150 words. The proposal should include descriptions of the product, application, etc.; the kind(s) of cooperative work it is intended to support; the noteworthy and distinguishing ideas or approaches it embodies; and what will be shown in the demonstration. Also include information about the presenter(s), including their relationship to the project and a detailed description of needed space, equipment support, and Internet connectivity.

Abstracts of accepted Demonstration proposals, formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template, will be published in a booklet that will be circulated to attendees at the conference; they will not be incorporated into the main CSCW 2004 conference proceedings.

All questions should be directed to cscw2004-demos@acm.org.

Demonstration submissions should be e-mailed to the Demonstrations Co-Chairs at cscw2004-demos@acm.org. All submissions must be received by the chairs by 5pm Pacific Time on Friday July 9, 2004. Submissions received after this date will not be considered. All submissions will be acknowledged by email.
