The 30th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference
23-27 July 2007, Amsterdam
Call for Demonstrations
Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or
operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained
from implementing IR systems and to obtain feedback from expert users.
Demonstration submissions are welcomed in any of the areas identified in
the call for papers. One-page demonstration abstracts will appear in the
conference proceedings.
Submissions must be in English and consist of an extended abstract (one
page in SIGIR format including references and figures) and an additional
one-page requirements description. The abstract should emphasize what the
implemented system aims to achieve, the major components of the system,
the novelty of the techniques that have been implemented, and comparisons
with comparable systems. The requirements description should identify the
hardware, software and network access requirements for the demonstration.
Network connections and computers with standard Web browsers can be
provided upon request. Proposals to demonstrate systems that require more
than a standard Web browser (e.g. context-aware mobile systems or virtual
reality systems) must explain how the systems will be demonstrated at the
conference.
Submissions should be in PDF format.
Unlike posters and research papers, authors of demonstration proposals are
not expected to take measures to conceal their identity from reviewers.
Demonstration proposals must be submitted by
February 25, 2007.
Demonstration papers must be submitted electronically via the
posters/demonstrations
submission web page.

submission
guidelines for more information.
LaTeX and Word templates for SIGIR submissions are available from the
ACM Website.
