CALL FOR DEMOS

The 3rd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Information and  
Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD2009) will be held  
17-19 April 2009 at Carnegie Mellon's state-of-the-art campus in Doha,  
Qatar. This conference will act as a focal point for new scholarship  
in the field of ICT and international development. Confirmed speakers  
include a Keynote by William H. Gates, Chairman of Microsoft  
Corporation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Demo Session

The demo session at ICTD2009 provides researchers and practicioners a  
venue for showcasing live demonstrations of their work. The focus of a  
demonstration may span novel hardware or software systems, video  
footage, or physical artifacts unsuitable for presentation in the  
poster or oral sessions. Unlike ICTD2009 papers, the subject of a demo  
may have been published previously, either in ICTD or in other venues.  
However, the demonstration itself should be new and interesting to the  
ICTD community, and should reflect work that is at least as mature as  
a poster presentation.

Demo submissions may represent research projects, commercial tools, or  
government initiatives. Both novel projects as well as well- 
established systems are invited for demonstration.

At the conference, all demonstrations will be presented in parallel  
with an interactive audience (comparable to a poster session). At  
least one author of each accepted demo must register for the  
conference and attend to present the demo.
Demo Submissions and Publication

Presenters must submit a 1-page abstract that describes the context,  
novelty, and significance of the demonstration, including a precise  
description of exactly what is to be demonstrated (hardware, software,  
etc.) Each submission should include a title; the names, affiliations,  
and contact emails for all authors; as well as a brief abstract (~100  
words). Authors should follow IEEE formats and styles. Samples of this  
format are also available in PDF and MS Word formats.

Demo submissions will be reviewed by the demo co-chairs. We expect to  
publish accepted demo abstracts in the conference proceedings (this  
will be confirmed later). Authors would be required to sign a  
copyright release prior to publication.

To submit to the demo session, send email to demos at ictd2009.org with  
the following information:

   1. Your 1-page abstract in PDF or MS Word format
   2. Requirements for your demonstration, including:
          * A/V equipment
          * Electrical outlets
          * Internet connectivity
          * Unusual space or setup requirements

Note: In order to foster participation in the demo session, authors of  
accepted papers and posters are invited to demonstrate their work  
without submitting a 1-page abstract. In place of the abstract, such  
authors may submit a brief one-paragraph description of their  
demonstration. This paragraph will not be published in the conference  
proceedings.
