---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICTD 2015 Secretariat <secretariat@ictd2015.org> Date: Sun, Jun 1, 2014 at 8:30 AM Subject: ICTD 2015: Call for Demos To: demos@ictd2015.org The Seventh International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD2015), to be hosted at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore from May 15-18, 2015, cordially invites you to submit proposals for demonstrations. Held in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGCAS, ICTD2015 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 ICTD conferences have been taking place approximately every 18 months since 2006. Demos Demonstrations should offer insights to real-world problems and/or solutions, and can include hardware or software solutions, or physical artefacts. These may stem from academic research, commercial projects, or government-led initiatives. The topic for demonstrations may have been published previously, but the demonstration itself should offer new insights and perspectives to the ICT4D community. 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. Submission instructions An abstract of at least 100 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 (e.g. software to address a certain problem). Include also your technical requirements (power, Internet access, space and other setup requirements). Each proposal should also bear a title of the demonstration, names, affiliations and contact information for all authors. Demonstration proposals will be reviewed according to the originality, impact and relevance to the conference. Accepted demonstration proposals will not be published in the conference proceedings, but will be listed as part of the conference programme. The submission deadline is 9 February 2015. Authors will be notified on 2 March 2015.
