DEMO SUBMISSION

Submissions have to include description of the contribution including title, system overview, summary of the significance and novel characteristics as well as functions/features to be demonstrated. Descriptions are to be written in English and must not exceed four (4) pages following LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). Additionally, authors may provide a link to a short online video or screen cast not exceeding 6 minutes in length (hard limit) of their demonstration. The video is recommended, not mandatory. The video must be playable using a wide variety of media players. Submissions have to be submitted electronically, in PDF format, via the Demonstration Track in the conference submission system: https://www.conftool.com/icsoc2013.

All demo submissions will be selected based on several criteria including the novelty, the maturity of the effort as well as the research contributions of the demonstration system. We are particularly interested in submissions that deal with new types of applications in SOC and relevant areas, which help motivate conference attendees to pursue similar efforts. Accepted papers will be included in the ICSOC 2013 conference proceedings to be published by Springer.

At least one author is expected to register for and showcase the demonstration at the ICSOC 2013 conference in Berlin, Germany.
