Guidance
Authors are asked to submit a short proposal (300 - 500 words) that describes the main contributions of the Lightning talk / Demo. Proposals should contain a brief abstract, place an emphasis on the motivation for the work, and summarize contributions being presented.
- Abstract length should be a minimum of 300 words and should not exceed 500 words. - The language of the conference will be English; therefore, the abstract must be in this language. - All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by members of the Conference Programme Committee.
*Please indicate whether you would be interested in presenting your work as a lightning talk or a live demonstration when submitting (either by mentioning it in the abstract or by adding a note for the reviewers).
For lightning talks we will apply the 24/7 rule: 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Successful presentations are fast paced and have a clear focus on one idea.
Demos and Lighning talk proposals will be evaluated primarily on their potential to stimulate interesting discussions, facilitate the exchange of ideas, and promote collaborations. Additional criteria are:
Relevance
Impact on the wider community
Level of innovation
Originality
Openness and Fairness of the solution / method / product
Quality of the abstract
Special consideration will be given to ensure that a variety of topics and geographical / cultural range will be represented. Applications will be evaluated by the Conference Programme Committee (blind peer-review).
