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
