The 45th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN), November 16-19, 2020, virtually hosted in Sydney, Australia

Call For Demos


IMPORTANT: After evaluating the current COVID-19 situation, the decision has been made to transform LCN—including the Demo track—into an all-digital conference experience. The conference dates remain the same. Presentations of demos will be organized in a way that is convenient for the various time zones.

Scope

IEEE LCN 2020 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. Proposals (no more than 3 pages) should be submitted via EDAS to the LCN Demo Track, and describe the scope, significance, and required equipment. The proposal should include one page that describes what conference participants will be able to see or experience during the demonstration. The authors are encouraged to highlight the research component of the demo and explicitly mention the novelty of the showcased technology/solution.

IEEE LCN is looking for demonstrations in all topics covered by the main conference and/or the symposium held in conjunction with LCN 2020. Research prototypes as well as commercial products are welcome.

Demonstrations will be selected based on their merits and expected interest from the LCN audience. A best demo award will be awarded to the demo with the most votes from the audience.

Important dates

  • Demo Submission: September 22, 2020 (extended)
  • Demo Acceptance: October 13, 2020
  • Demo Camera Ready: October 27, 2020

Proposal submission

A proposal should include:

  • The main ideas of the demo
  • Scope and significance of the demo, and
  • Equipment to be used for the demo

In general, be as specific as possible in describing what you will demonstrate or display as demo. Proposals (no more than 3 pages) can be submitted via EDAS.

Direct any questions to Demo Chair, Florian Tschorsch.

Background Information

Consider an all-digital Demo Track as an opportunity to showcase your demo in a way that was not possible in physical meetings or would have required to travel with a lot of gear. We will do our best to accommodate demo author needs to present and discuss the demo virtually.

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.

For conference registration, a demo is not regarded as a paper, i.e.,

  • Demo presenters with no accepted conference or symposium papers must select "non-author registration" when registering for the conference
  • Demo presenters with an accepted LCN or symposium papers incur no extra charge for a demo. The conference registration will cover their demo
