Call for Demos - ICTD 2016

The Eighth International Conference on Information and Communication
Technologies and Development (ICTD2016), to be hosted at the
University of Michigan from June 3-6, 2016 cordially invites proposals
for demonstrations. ICTD2016 will provide an international forum for
scholarly researchers to explore the role of information and
communication technologies (ICTs) in social, political, and economic
development.

The demo session will provide students, researchers, and practitioners
with an international audience for showcasing demonstrations of their
work. The demo session will be given wide visibility and opportunities
for interaction during the conference. Your demonstration may span
novel hardware or software systems, or physical artifacts. Research
projects, commercial tools, or government initiatives are all welcome.
We particularly encourage engaging, interactive demos that demonstrate
real world impact. While the topic for demonstrations may have been
published previously, the demonstration itself should offer new
insights and perspectives to the ICTD community.

For consideration, an abstract of between 100-400 words describing the
context, novelty, and significance of the demonstration must be
submitted. Be as descriptive and precise as possible, detailing what
exactly will be demonstrated. Also include the technical requirements
for your demo (e.g., power, Internet access, space and other setup
requirements). Each proposal should also include a demo title, as well
as names, affiliations, and contact information for all authors.

Demonstration proposals will be reviewed according to relevance to the
conference. Accepted demonstration proposals will not be published in
the conference proceedings, but will be listed as part of the
conference program.

The submission deadline is March 18, 2016. Authors will be notified on
April 4, 2016.

To submit a demo, use the following link: http://goo.gl/forms/EOEfNv0r3c

Once accepted, at least, one author of the demonstration must register
for the conference and present the demonstration during the
conference. Authors of accepted contributions in other sections of the
conference may also submit proposals for demonstrations.
