IEEE LCN 2012 will feature a demo session with the aim of providing demonstrations that validate important research issues and/or show innovative prototypes. Authors are invited to submit technical demonstrations showing innovative and original research.

In general, IEEE LCN is looking for demonstrations in all topics covered by the main conference in addition to all the workshops held in conjunction with LCN 2012. Research prototypes as well as commercial products are welcome. However, LCN is not an appropriate forum for marketing or sales presentations. Demonstrations will be selected based on the expected interest from the LCN audience. An award will be given for the best demo of the session.

Proposal submission

A proposal should include: Scope and significance of the demo and the basic idea that it supports, equipment to be used for the demo, space and setup time needed, and additional facilities needed including power and Internet/wireless access. Proposals (no more than 3 pages) can be submitted via EDAS. The proposals should be formatted in IEEE conference format, the same as full papers; details can be found on the LCN37 Paper Submission Instructions page.

Background Information

All demo proposals will be reviewed by the members of the Demo Board via an EDAS score sheet. The scores will be provided to the authors along with the notification. Concerning registration, a demo is not regarded as a paper. This means that a non-author registration or student registration is possible. For authors of LCN or workshop papers there is no extra charge for a demo. The conference registration will cover the demo.
