================================================== IEEE iThings 2013/CPSCom 2013/GreenCom 2013 August 20-22, 2013 Beijing, China Call for Demos and Exhibitions http://www.china-iot.net/Main_IoT_CPSCom_demo.htm Call for Cybermatics Creative Video Contest http://www.china-iot.net/Main_CCVC.htm Deadline: June 10, 2013 ================================================== Please take notice to the following submissions. Paper authors are welcome to submit their work to these as well. 1. Call for Demos and Exhibitions The IoT/CPSCom demo and exhibition program provides researchers and engineers with opportunities to show their cutting-edge work presented in an interactive fashion. The live demonstrations and exhibitions may include implementations of techniques presented in the main conference, workshops, other conferences and venues, as well as systems and video. We encourage companies or other commercial entities or laboratories to participate in showcasing their products. Prospective applicants should submit a 2-page paper of the demonstration/exhibition in the IEEE CS format (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) via email (cpscom2013demo(a)live.com) Video demonstrations are also welcome. The main selection criteria will be the expected general interest of the demonstration to the cyber physical system and social computing community. The accepted demo/exhibition will be included in the IoT/CPSCom conference proceedings. As a condition for acceptance, at least one of the people must be registered for the main conference, and present the demo in the conference with a poster and optional video. We will print out the poster in the conference if the demonstrator sends it beforehand in electronic format. All demos will compete for the Best Demo Award. The conference will at minimum provide a space for your demo, a poster stand, a table and chairs, and a power connection (220V). If you need any special equipment you should provide that by yourself, including power converters, projectors, audio amplification, wireless LAN routers/access points, etc. Please specify your demo requirements on a separate page so that we can plan the demo area accordingly. Demo/Exhibition Chairs: Dr. Pin Tao, Tsinghua University, China (taopin(a)tsinghua.edu.cn) Dr. Kongqiao Wang, Nokia Research Center, China (kongqiao.wang(a)nokia.com) Submission e-mail: cpscom2013demo(a)live.com Important Dates - Submission deadline: June 10, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2013 - Camera-ready demo paper: July 10, 2013 2. Call for Cybermatics Creative Video Contest It is believed that the frontier of information science is increasingly characterized by not only catching up with the human intelligence (e.g. intelligent sensing, and making decision and control), but also learning much from the nature-inspired attributes (e.g., dynamics, self-adaptability, and energy saving). Among such research areas, a newly-emerged interdisciplinary, Cybermatics (i.e., cyber technology) as we call here, includes three main aspects: Internet of Things (IoT), cyber, physical and social computing, and green computing and communications. The Cybermatics Creative Video Contest is a call for works from academia and industry for digital videos that involve any video work, information design and digital animation work about the concept of cyber technology. The content within the video must be related to cyber technology, IoT and big data, and demonstrate how it can produce a great impact on the future of human life. We welcome video submissions from at home and abroad, and from any academic, business, education and government circles to take part in the "Cybermatics Creative Video Contest". Please submit your video that conforms to the following specifications to cpscom2013video(a)gmail.com: - Video size: HD (1920×1280), or SD (1280×720). - Video format: AVI, WMV, MOV, MP4 - Video time: Up to 5 minutes. - Deadline: June 10, 2013 - Notification of Acceptance: June 30, 2013 Please also include the title of your video, the team members and affiliation, and an abstract of up to 150 words that explains your video, what makes it is applicable to cybermatics, and how it can help improve human life. For inspiration, see an example of a cybermatics video called "A Day Made of Glass" from Corning: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjQ0NzA0MjMy.html The contest will happen in two phases: 1) The videos are evaluated according to creativity, relevance and impact, and choose the top 5 videos. 2) The selected 5 videos will be exhibited in the conference, where each author will give a 30 second pitch as to why his/her video should be the winner. The conference attendees will then vote for the winner.
