From nadia.caidi at utoronto.ca Thu Jun 19 12:45:20 2014 From: nadia.caidi at utoronto.ca (Nadia Caidi) Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:45:20 -0400 Subject: [Sigifp-l] ASIST 2014 - Poster Submission deadline: July 1, 2014 Message-ID: Dear All, A friendly reminder that the deadline for submitting posters to ASIST 2014 (in Seattle, Oct 31-Nov 1) is upon us. Please refer to the website for more information about submission ( http://www.asis.org/asist2014/) Posters Posters are a vehicle for face-to-face presentations and interactions using traditional posters, short videos, or live demonstrations. These formats provide opportunities for interactive discussion and feedback about the work. Poster presentations are expected to invite questions and discussion in a personal and less formal setting. Posters offer a unique opportunity to present late-breaking results, work in progress, or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Please note, however, that posters describing work that is simply a proposal will not be accepted. Submissions for refereeing should be in the form of an extended abstract of up to 4 pages. The reviewers will use similar criteria for judging the Posters submission as for any other categories, namely the scope of the work, the quality of the research and of the presentation, the perceived impact of the work presented, citations' adequacy and the overall quality of the submission. See you in Seattle!

Thank you very much. Alvaro La-Web 2014 Demo Track October 24th, 2014 http://www.decom.ufop.br/Spire-La-Web2014/#LaWebDemoTrack Call for Demo Papers: Starting this year, the Latin American Web Congress (La-Web'2014 - http://www.decom.ufop.br/Spire-La-Web2014) will have a demo track in order to provide a venue for presentation of practical work in the field of Web and its related areas. LA-Web 2014 is the ninth of a series of refereed conferences aimed at providing a venue in Latin America for researchers and technologists from around the world to present, demonstrate and discuss the latest Web developments. LA-Web 2014 will be held in the beautiful and historical city of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil, from October 22nd to 24th. LA-Web 2014 is endorsed by the IW3C2 International World Wide Web Conference Committee. This year, the first day of LA-WEB will hold joint sessions with SPIRE (International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval) 2014. Demo papers must be in English (4 pages) and formatted in accordance with the instructions provided on the Conference Publishing Services (CPS) (For your submission you can use the standard IEEE conference templates - http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html ). Submissions are single-blinded (not anonymized). Accepted papers for the demo track will be published in the La-Web'2014 proceedings by the CPS and be submitted to the Digital Library. Demo papers must be submitted exclusively through LA-WEB 2014 demo paper submission Web site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=laweb14). By submitting a paper, its authors commit to having the paper presented at the conference and demonstrating the system during the demo session. The scope of the La-Web 2014 Demo Track is the same as for the World Wide Web Conference. The instructions on the characteristics of the expected demo paper were taken from the WWW'2014 Call for Demo Papers (http://www2014.kr/calls/call-for-demos/). 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. Demos from the traditional research community are of course strongly encouraged, but proposals from other activity areas are also welcome. Software (including games or learning platforms) and hardware demos will also be considered, 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. To better identify the value of demos, as well as to reach out to external audiences, we also encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast, using web-accessible platforms such as Vimeo or Youtube. The maximum duration of screencasts is 10 minutes. Running systems demonstrated are also welcome. Important Dates: Paper submission: July 14, 2014 Notification of acceptance: August 2, 2014 Camera-ready: August 9, 2014 Demo Track: October 24, 2014 La-Web 2014 Demo Track Chair: ?lvaro R.
