Call for Demonstrations

We invite proposals for demonstrations describing first-hand experiences with research prototype systems in any of the topics identified in the call for papers http://www.cikm2011.org/callforpapers. We especially encourage demonstrations bridging these topics, or presenting new perspectives on these topics.

Demonstration papers must be submitted electronically through the conference submission system, in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.

Demonstration papers should not exceed 4 pages in length and can describe system components, implementation techniques, experiences as well as interactive demonstration plans. Submissions must also include a URL linking to a preview of the demonstration.

In a pure start-up fashion and to make demos more attractive, all accepted proposals will be presented *live* on the main auditorium. A prize will be announced for the winner.

The review process for demonstration submission is NOT double-blind.
