They do not need to submit an abstract if the paper gets accepted, but info on equipment requirements should be sent to demos@slt2014.org by September 10, 2014.
Option 2: Authors may submit a 1-2 page abstract for demo presentations by October 1, 2014. These will be reviewed by demo chairs and accepted/rejected for presentation. Abstracts should briefly outline the demonstration, including application and system design. Additionally, information should be provided on equipment requirements. Demo applications may optionally include a single video file that exemplifies the results of the work.
Notes: A table, a poster board and power will be provided. There are no fees for demos, but all demo presenters will have to register to SLT2014.
