SCOPE OF THE
DEMO TRACK
We cordially invite you to submit
your contribution to the demo track of the 2012 ACM SIGHIT
International Health Informatics Symposium (IHI 2012).
The IHI demo track is an exciting
and highly interactive way to demonstrate your health informatics
system or application. Because of IHI's focus on end-to-end systems,
whereby applied informatics is used to address the needs of health
and healthcare applications, demos of innovative systems are
solicited, which illustrate practical research or engineering
contributions in an interesting and interactive manner.
The demo program will be featured
prominently in the conference program and should be seen as a
vehicle for researchers, practitioners, and
commercial/industrial/non-profit institutions to showcase innovative
new technologies or applications in health informatics.
The demo review process will look
for practical uses of technology and also for a "wow" factor in all
submissions. We encourage the description of prototypes as long as
they clearly present a coherent, end-to-end view of what the
application might become once it gets deployed in
production.
A submission proposal includes a
demo paper and can optionally include a demo video, whose URL should
be referred to in the textual demo description for reviewers to take
into consideration when analyzing the submission. Note that the demo
paper should differ from regular papers in several important
aspects. First, it should clearly describe the overall architecture
of the system or technology demonstrated. Second, the paper should
put great emphasis on the motivation of the work, on the
applications of the presented system or technology, and on the
novelty of the work. Third, the proposal should clearly describe the
demo scenario. In particular, it should describe how the demo
audience can interact with the demo system, to better understand the
underlying technology. For demos running over the web, a back-up
scenario should be described, in case connectivity is limited at the
demo venue.
All topics described in the Call
for Papers are eligible for demo track submissions.
WHAT SHOULD BE
SUBMITTED
All aspects of the submission and
notification process will be handled electronically. Submissions
must adhere to the following guidelines:
The optional demo video should
focus on illustrating the demo scenario and the interactive nature
of the demo system. The video must be no more than three minutes in
length and should start by clearly identifying the authors and title
of the proposal. The video should be in common video format (e.g.,
MPEG, AVI), and should be playable on a wide variety of media
players. We strongly encourage authors to produce and submit a demo
video that will be linked off of the final program on the conference
website (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo).
The notification for acceptance
of demo papers is the same as that for regular papers. Accepted demo
proposals will appear in the final proceedings and in ACM digital
library.
