<p><font size=2 color=#4181c0 face="Cambria"><b>Demo Submissions</b></font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">At SiMPE 2013, we also invite submissions
for interesting demos. Any prototype or demos on the phone or a device
are encouraged to for submission. A 1-page description of the demonstration
in the above format is required by the submission deadline. The 1-page
description should provide specific details about the demo, the device
and how this will be presented at the workshop. If the authors need specific
arrangements to be made on the workshop day, please mention those as well.
We also welcome participation without paper submission. </font>
<br><font size=2 color=#a16252 face="Calibri">Note: Since the workshop
also aims to be a meeting point for researchers working in this area, at
least one author of accepted papers has to attend the workshop to present
their work, else the paper will not be included in the final workshop proceedings.
Participants who wish to attend the workshop will have to register for
the main conference as well.</font>
