Call for Live Demonstrations

The ISCAS 2019 Organizing Committee invites proposals for Live Demonstrations to be held during the2019 IEEE Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS2019) in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, from 26th May
till 29th May 2019 (https://www.iscas2019.org/). ISCAS is the flagship conference of the IEEE Circuits andSystems Society (http://ieee-cas.org/).
This track offers the possibility for an interactive and tangible form of presentation which is quite different
from oral and poster sessions. The demonstrations will be conducted in presentation booths with ample
space to set up a working system, whether it is interactive software on a laptop, a hardware setup, or evena system acquiring signals from a human. Conference attendees are invited to experience thedemonstrations directly, to interact with, play with, and challenge them. Presenters have the opportunity
to show direct proof of their working systems and to create a lasting impression in a session that is very
well attended.

Papers may be submitted in either of the following two categories.
1. Proposals of live demonstrations based on already published work. Prospective presentersshould submit a one-page description of the demonstration using the same page formatting as forregular ISCAS papers except the formatting for double-blind review. It is mandatory to include areference to at least one earlier publicly accessible publication of this work. During submission
presenters should select ‘‘Live Demonstrations (Demo Description)’’ as the Primary Track and an
appropriate topical subtrack as the Secondary Track. Please make sure that, different from regular
ISCAS papers, the selection of Live Demo proposals will be done based on single-blind review
policy. The names of presenters should be indicated clearly in a one-page proposal.
2. Proposals based on new work intended for publication in ISCAS 2019. Prospective presentersshould submit the concurrent regular paper, prepared and formatted according to theinstructions for regular ISCAS papers (i.e. this is a technical paper and not a demonstration
description), which will undergo the same review process as a regular paper submission (doubleblind review). After the submission of the concurrent regular paper, presenters are requested tosubmit a one-page description of the demonstration using the same page formatting as for regularISCAS papers except the formatting for double-blind review. It is mandatory to include a reference

to the concurrent paper submitted to ISCAS 2019 with its submission ID number. During submission of
the one-page description, presenters should select ‘‘Live Demonstrations (Demo Description)’’ as thePrimary Track and an appropriate topical subtrack as the Secondary Track. Please make sure that,different from regular ISCAS papers, the selection of Live Demo proposals will be done based on singleblind review policy. The names of presenters should be indicated clearly in a one-page proposal.

One-page Demo Description
The one-page demonstration description in both aforementioned categories must contain the following
information:
1. Demonstration Title and Contributors Information: The title must begin with ‘‘Live
Demonstration:’’ Please indicate all contributors to the demo and their affiliations. In case ofsubmission of a concurrent full paper, the list of contributors is not necessarily the same of theauthors of the paper.
2. Demonstration Setup: Describe the equipment that you will bring to ISCAS. Include a photographand/or screenshot. Only a power plug, a table and display stand will be provided. Demonstrators
are responsible for the transportation of their own equipment to the meeting site. Indicate any
special requirements such as for example extra space for demonstrating robotic movement orother requirements which the organizers should be aware of.
3. Visitor Experience: Explain the way in which a visitor experiences and interacts with yourdemonstration, how it reveals the essence of your work, furthers understanding, and what thevisitor will learn.
4. For Demonstrations Related to Previous Published Work: Please include one or more citations
referring to your work about the scientific background of your live demonstration. This reference
must be publicly and easily accessible for the reviewers --- a URL is highly recommended!
Inaccessible conference publications will be cause for paper rejection.
5. For Demonstrations with a Concurrent Full Paper: Please include a reference to your full paper
including the submission ID number in your demonstration description. For the final submission,
you may want to update this reference, removing the ID number.
6. Optional Video: For the initial submission only, proposers can also include an optional link to avideo (max 5min) about their demo. This video is only meant to facilitate the review process, anddoes not substitute for the live demo.
