IEEE ICDE 2022 Call for Demonstration Proposals
The Demonstrations Track of ICDE 2022 invites exciting and highly interactive demonstrations on data engineering research. We solicit demo proposals in all areas of data and knowledge engineering, including but not limited to, database systems, data management and processing techniques, and data-intensive applications. We also encourage submissions from related areas such as DB + X, where X is ML/AI, health, education, visualization, systems, privacy, etc. All demonstration submissions must:
Highlights for Demonstration Track
Video Submissions
We encourage the submission of a demonstration video (of up to 5 minutes, 50MB max. file size) together with your demonstration proposal. Both the demonstration proposal and the video will then be accessible by the reviewers. Your video should summarize your demonstration and also audio-visually highlight its most important aspects, such as the user interface, options for user interactions, the system setup, etc. The video should be submitted in MPEG/AVI/MP4 format and be playable by the common media players. Please note that you will need to first finish your demo proposal submission and then edit it to add the video as a supplementary file.
Important Dates
All deadlines are 11:59PM Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
Criteria for Selecting Demos
Demonstration proposals will be selected based on several criteria, including (i) relevance, (ii) novelty, (iii) depth, and (iv) the “wow” factor of the proposed demonstration. The proposal must clearly describe the functionality that will be demonstrated, and how the audience will be able to interact with the system.
Demo Submission Information
Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the IEEE format. The length of demo papers is 4 pages, including references. Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered. Please upload your submission to the ICDE 2020 Demos Track through the CMT submission site prior to the deadline.
In your submission, you should include the following since it is very likely that the conference will be held virtually (subject to the final decision of the organization committee).
Demo proposals submitted to ICDE cannot be under review for any other publishing forum or presentation venue (including conferences, workshops, and journals) during the time they are being considered for ICDE. Furthermore, after you submit to ICDE, you must await our response and only resubmit elsewhere if your demo is rejected (or withdrawn at your request). This restriction applies to identical submissions as well as to submissions with a substantial overlap in scientific content and results. Submissions will be reviewed in a single-blind manner.
Accepted demo papers will be included in the conference proceedings. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a demo paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if none of the authors will attend the conference to present the demonstration.
Inclusion, Diversity and Accessibility
Be mindful in your demonstration proposals of not using language or examples that further the marginalization, stereotyping, or erasure of any group of people, especially historically marginalized and/or under-represented groups (URGs) in computing. Also be vigilant and guard against unintentionally exclusionary examples. Reviewers will be empowered to monitor and demand changes if such issues arise. Going further, also consider actively making your demonstrations accessible to people of diverse groups, and particularly people with disabilities. This applies to systems and interactive tools used in the demonstrations, and to demonstration videos. In your writing and presentations, consider actively raising the representation of URGs.
Conflict of Interest
During submission of a research paper, the submission site will request information about Conflicts of Interest (COI) of the paper’s authors with program committee (PC) members. It is the full responsibility of all authors of a paper to identify all (and only) PC members with potential COIs as per the definition provided on the submission site. Papers with incorrect or incomplete COI information as of the submission closing time are subject to immediate rejection.
Definition of Conflict of Interest
A paper author has a COI with a PC member when and only when one or more of the following conditions hold:
Note on Virtual Demonstrations
According to the current plan, the conference will be held virtually (subject to the final decision of the organization committee). We encourage submissions to take this opportunity and propose demonstrations that creatively use this format.
This could include:
