The program page is online now.

Information for Presenters (Oral, Poster and Demo) is available now. Please refer to the instructions page and prepare your presentations accordingly.

Demo session fosters the demonstrations of novel technologies and applications by means of original interactive showcases. Topics of interests are the same as those listed in the main track of IEEE LANMAN 2017.

Authors of accepted demo papers will be provided with a table, a power supply and Wi-Fi Internet access (NAT only) by default.

Accepted demo papers will be indexed by IEEE-Xplore and will be distributed with the official symposium proceedings. No show will preclude publication in IEEE-Xplore.

Authors must be present during the Demo session and must be associated with an author registration at the full rate. One full registration is valid for presenting a cumulative number of demos/papers/posters up to three.

A “best demo award” will be given, based on community judging by registered participants.

We envisage two kinds of demos, namely: associated or not-associated with an accepted main track paper. Associated demo papers must provide demonstrations of concepts presented in an accepted main track paper.

Please consult the Demo Co-Chairs (see contacts in the Call for Demos page) if you are uncertain whether your demo falls within the scope of the symposium and for any other question.
