Topics
The Demo Track allows researchers and practitioners to demonstrate new systems in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference. Topics of interest for this year’s conference include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Behavioral Analysis and Personalization
- Big Data on the Web
- Crowdsourcing Systems and Social Media
- Content Analysis
- Graph Data Management and Mining
- High-Performance Infrastructures for Data-Intensive Web Tasks
- Internet Economics and Monetization
- Pervasive Web and Mobility
- Security and Privacy
- Semantic Web
- Social Networks and Graph Analysis
- Web Information Retrieval
- Web Infrastructure: Datacenters, Content Delivery Networks, and Cloud Computing
- Web Mining
- Web Science
- Web Search Systems and Applications
Demos are encouraged from academic researchers, from industrial practitioners with prototypes or in-production deployments, as well as from any W3C-related activities. Software (including games or learning platforms) and hardware demos will be considered equally, as long as they show innovative use of Web-based techniques. Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how. They should strive to state the significance of the contribution to Web technology or applications. Demos will be peer-reviewed by members of the Demo Track Program Committee, who will judge the originality, significance, quality, and clarity of each submission.
At least one author of each accepted demo paper must register for and attend the conference, and demonstrate the system during the demo sessions (please see the Conference Policies). Each accepted demo paper will be allocated no more than four pages in the conference proceedings. Demo authors are not required to transfer copyright.
Submission Guidelines
Demo submissions must be formated according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template and are limited to four pages. It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that their submissions adhere strictly to the required format. In particular, the format cannot be modified with the objective of squeezing in more material. Submissions that do not comply with the formatting guidelines will be rejected without review.
Submissions must be in PDF, and must be done through the EasyChair system (demo track):
