Demos & Exhibits

 

COMSNETS 2014 features a “Demos and Exhibits” session designed to allow industry and researchers to showcase their latest industrial applications and research prototypes in all communications and networking related topics. This includes innovative technologies, platforms, analysis tools and applications related to (but not limited to) the topics:

Wireless	Platforms	Cloud	HCI	Apps and Media
Indoor positioning systems	Spectrum sharing algorithms – USRP and WARP platforms	VM and cloud computing for mobiles	Augmented reality	Home Apps for Hi Speed Wi Fi
60GHz based short range communication	Vanets	Inter-operable Network Controllers for WAN, MAN (SDN)	Gesture-based control for mobiles	Crowd sensing applications
Visual Light Communication or Li-Fi (or LED)	Location privacy for mobiles	Virtualization and API Clouds	Widget Toolkits and 3D	Video Streaming and HTML 5

The poster and demo sessions will be co-located over two days to ensure maximum visibility and favor a close interaction between presenters and participants.

Key Features

Demo Session: Demos & Exhibits will be showcased for 2 days along with a dedicated demo session of 2 hrs as part of the main conference agenda. The demo paper will be published to the IEEE digital library as part of COMSNETS 2014.

Best Demo Award: This will be presented for the demo which exhibits highly innovative technological research overcoming major technical difficulties and also exhibit high benefits.

Call for Demo Submissions [pdf Link]

Demo proposals are invited for both mature or innovative systems and prototypes developed for commercial use or for research purposes, from industries and academia.

Accepted demonstrations could be supported by a poster describing the general set-up of the demonstration, its background and technical content to be demonstrated. Demonstrations will be selected based on their novelty, technical quality, and attractiveness of the demonstrated system. We will have approximately 12 – 15 demos (depending space constraints). The demos shall be allocated between COMSNETS Sponsoring-organizations and Non-sponsoring organization.

Demos are complimentary for all sponsoring organizations. For the non-sponsoring organizations, COMSNETS charges a nominal registration fee of (INR TBD) if their proposal is accepted for demonstration. Demonstrations from start-ups and universities are highly encouraged with the possibility of limited financial support from COMSNETS towards the registration fee.
