========================================================================
CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS (Communication Software Award)
NetSys 2015
2nd International Conference on Networked Systems
http://www.netsys2015.com
Cottbus, Germany, March 9-13, 2015
========================================================================
The special interest group for communication and distributed systems of
the German Association for Computer Science (GI/ITG Fachgruppe KuVS) is
calling for applications for the biennial Communication Software Award.
The Communication Software Award honors the best practice-oriented
application, tool, framework, or demonstration showing innovative and
original research in the areas of networks, communication, and
distributed systems. Submissions of novel, original works from both
academia and industry are invited, nominations of students, from
academic research projects, or small and medium-sized enterprises
(SME) are especially encouraged. Products that are already commercially
available during the NetSys'15 conference are excluded from the awards.
Nominations of either single applicants or groups are welcome, the best
student application may get an additional award.
The submission should include an extended abstract of up to two pages.
Submissions should include authorship (with affiliations), the problem
domain and application of the communication software nominated,
platform requirements, and the envisioned licensing scheme. They should
explicitly state what will be demonstrated at the NetSys 2015
conference and how the audience will be able to interact and experiment
with it. The following assessment criteria should additionally be
explicitly addressed:
* the relevance to its application in practice
* innovation and novelty of the new software
* enhancements as compared to prior systems
* the state of the software and its maturity for application
Submission Process:
-------------------
All nominations will undergo a preliminary review process for
shortlisting. All shortlisted systems will have to be presented at the
NetSys 2015 conference in Cottbus (registration to the conference is
therefore required) in a demo session, and the prize will be awarded
following the final selection of the committee on site.
Submissions should be emailed to the committee chair of the NetSys 2015
demonstration session: chairs@netsys2015.com
Abstracts are published at the conference web site.
