participants from both academia and industry to present their latest
development in Service Oriented Computing. The following proposals are
particularly welcome: 

  * Novel Service Applications and Implementations (interactive systems)
  * Service-oriented Architecture Showcases 
  * Testbeds for Service Technologies and Concepts
  * Design-support tools (platforms, Open APIs)


    Important Dates

  * Demonstration Submission: September 3, 2019 (23:59 CEST)
  * Author Notification: September 21, 2019
  * Camera Ready Submission: October 1, 2019


    Best Demonstration Award

The “Best Demo” Awards will be given to the demos that the Demonstration
Program Committee judges to be the best in quality, execution, and
impact among all the accepted demos in the conference.

    Demonstration Submission

Submissions accepted for the Demo track will be advertised on the ICSOC
2019 website and would be included in the post-conference proceedings.
Each Demo submission must consist of the following elements:

Paper (maximum 5 pages):

  * Pages 1-4 to describe the system to be demonstrated and the
    bibliographic references. The authors are encouraged to discuss the
    application domain, the problem scenario, the technology used, the
    techniques involved, the innovations of the system, interactive
    aspects, etc.
  * Page 5 provides the organizers with a list of requirements for the
    demo setting at the conference.
  * Papers must be prepared using the ICSOC format and submitted as PDF
    files. Submissions not conforming to the guidelines above will be
    rejected.

Video (maximum 5 minutes):

  * The paper should contain a URL linking to a demonstration video of
    no more than 5 minutes in duration (QuickTime or YouTube format)
    showing and explaining the execution of the system.
  * The video should be understandable without sound as much as
    possible, as they can be played during the conference.

Papers should be formatted according to the Springer’s LNCS Formatting
Guidelines
<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0>.
Submissions must be in English. All papers must be submitted
electronically in PDF to the Demo Submission System
<https://www.conftool.com/icsoc2019>.

All accepted papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings
published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS <http://www.springer.com/lncs>) series. Videos of accepted demo
papers will be played (with no sound) during the breaks and demo
sessions to increase visibility.

For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the conference
and present the paper. The deadline for identifying and registering this
individual author will be at the time when the camera-ready version is
submitted.


    Selection Process

The submission and selection process for the ICSOC 2019 Demos will be
separate from that of the main conference. Each submission will be
assessed by the Demos Program Committee. The authors will receive a
brief evaluation report with the notification. The evaluation criteria are:

  * Relevance to the ICSOC conference
  * Significance and originality
  * Video content and presentation
  * Maturity and readiness of the demonstration
  * Potential for public interaction
  * Potential impact in the intended application domain
  * Potential interest to a broader audience


    Demonstration Chairs

  * Walid Gaaloul, Telecom SudParis, France.
  * Qi Yu, Rochester Institute of Technology, NY, USA.
  * Noura Faci, University of Lyon, France.
