ER 2016

Call for Tool Demos

The ER 2016 Tool Demonstration session complements the overall program of the conference. It is designed to provide an exciting and highly interactive way to demonstrate conceptual modeling tool, and an excellent way to advertise the applicability of the results and gather feedback from the international conceptual modeling community.

Tool Demonstration papers should be related to the topics of interest of the main conference track and could include computational environments and prototypes for conceptual modeling, practical conceptual modeling projects using conceptual modeling tools, lessons learned, and late-braking results of innovative use of conceptual modeling tools. The session is focused on academic and research software, and it is not intended for the demonstration of commercial products.

Submissions to the Tool Demonstrations track should make clear what will be demonstrated, and in particular point out what makes the demonstration a novel showcase. Submission should also specify:

• What is the research background and application context of the demonstration;
• What are the key technologies used and what are the technical challenges addressed;
• How does the demonstrated system, application or infrastructure relate to pre-existing work and what makes this a novel showcase for conceptual modeling;
• What exactly will be demonstrated? For whom is it most interesting/useful - for a onceptual modeling researcher, for agraduate or undergraduate student, for a practitioner? What exactly will a visitor of the demonstration learn?

Important Dates

• Submission due: June 20, 2016 June 30, 2016
• Notification: July 15, 2016
• Camera-ready: August 5, 2016
• Demos at ER 2016 in Gifu: November 14-17, 2016

Submission Guidelines

All submitted Tool Demonstration papers must be formatted according to the instructions for submission format for research submissions. Tool Demo papers must be no more than four pages long. These page limits include all parts of the paper: title, abstract, body, and bibliography. Tool Demo papers should clearly describe what will be demonstrated and how the contribution will be illustrated interactively. Tool Demo papers could also include a URL that showed a preliminary version of the demo (e.g., screenshots, or even an interactive program).

Submission

Please send an email with your submission information to er2016demos@sa.cs.titech.ac.jp

Publication

All accepted papers will be distributed from the ER 2016 web site. Selected Tool Demonstration papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series.
