Information for Demo Proposals

What are demos?

A demo session at CCSCNE provides an opportunity to present a pedagogical tool, a class activity, or courseware that supports learning in computing. A demo will consist of a 10-minute presentation that describes the item and the authors' experiences using it, as well as a quick demo.

What the demo proposal should contain:

Your demo proposal should contain enough information for the reviewers to evaluate the submission to see how it will fit into the overall program. In particular, your proposal should contain the following:

E-mail and U.S. mail addresses for the person or persons giving the demo.
A detailed description of the session.
A brief biography of the presenter(s), enough for the committee to evaluate their qualifications.
A description of the level of experience that the presenter(s) have working with proposed tool/assignment/activity/courseware.

What will happen after your submission:

Soon after your proposal is received, the contact person will receive an email acknowledgement of the proposal.
If the proposal is received early enough, there may be some clarification questions asked of the contact person.
The co-chairs and the program committee will review all submissions and put together a program.
Around the second week of January, the contact person will be notified as to whether the demo will be included in the program.

Accepted demos:

Contact persons will be notified around the second week of January of the acceptance.
Before the demo proposal can be printed in the proceedings, the conference committee will need: 1) a copyright release form from the presenter(s), and 2) a conference registration form and fee from the presenter(s).

Formatting Instructions:

Demo abstracts are included in the proceedings of the conference.

Please follow the instructions below, except that you should use a 12pt font instead of the word-processor default if it is different:
