Important Dates
Poster and demo proposals due: March 11, 2005
Notification of acceptance: April 18, 2005
Posters
If have interesting work you would like to share, or a novel idea that is not quite ready to be published, the MobiSys poster sessions may be for you. Poster sessions are meant to introduce new or ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with conference attendees. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion or innovative promising ideas not yet validated through extensive evaluation.
Poster submissions must include (i) an electronic copy of the poster and (ii) an extended abstract of no longer than 2 pages, including all figures and references. Please note that easels will be provided at the conference for 3x4 feet posters (approximately 0.75x1.0 meters). The posters should be sized appropriately. The extended abstract should be written in a 10-point font, single-spaced, in two-column format. Acceptable formats for the electronic posters are Powerpoint, Postscript, and PDF. Acceptable formats for the poster abstracts are Word, Postscript, and PDF. No other formats will be accepted for review.
Posters must be submitted electronically, by sending both the poster and the extended abstract as attachments in a single email to the poster/demo chair at mobisys05posters@usenix.org.
The subject line of the email should read "MOBISYS POSTER" (in upper-case letters). The body of the email should include, in pure text, the title of the poster and the author list.
Demonstrations
MobiSys seeks proposals for live demonstrations of mobile computing technologies. Live demos provide an opportunity to give a flavor of real-life applications made possible by your system. Particularly encouraged are the demonstrations that encourage participation by conference attendees.
Research prototypes as well as commercial products are welcome. However, MobiSys is not an appropriate forum for marketing or sales presentations. The presenter is expected to understand the system being demonstrated and explain the contributions of the system to the audience. Demonstrations of previously published systems are also welcome.
A demonstration submission requires only an extended abstract of no longer than 2 pages describing the demonstration as well as any special requirements (other than a demo booth/table). The extended abstract should be written in a 10-point font, single-spaced, in two-column format. Acceptable formats are Word, Postscript, and PDF. No other formats will be accepted for review.
Demo proposals must be submitted electronically, by sending the extended abstract as an attachment in an email to the poster/demo chair at mobisys05posters@usenix.org.
The subject line of the email should say "MOBISYS DEMO" (in upper-case letters). The body of the email should include, in pure text, the title of the demo and the author list.
