[DMANET] NetSys 2013 - Final Call for Demos

KuVS -- Communication Software - Award

The special interest group for communication and distributed systems of the
German Association for Computer Science (GI/ITG Fachgruppe KuVS) is calling
applications for the biennial Communication Software Award. The
Communication
Software Award honors the best practice-oriented application, tool,
framework,
or demonstration showing innovative and original research in the areas of
networks, communication, or distributed systems. Submissions of novel,
original work from both academia and industry are invited, nominations of
students, from academic research projects, or SME are especially encouraged.
Products commercially available during the NetSys 2013 conference already,
are
excluded from the awards. Nominations of either single applicants or groups
are welcome, the best student application may get an additional award.

The submission should include an extended abstract of up to two pages. They
should include authorship (with affiliations), the problem domain and
application of the communication software nominated, platform requirements,
and the envisioned licensing scheme, and they should explicitly state what
will be demonstrated at the NetSys 2013 conference and how the audience will
be
able to interact and experiment with it. The following assessment criteria
should additionally be explicitly addressed:

- the relevance to its application in practice
- innovation and novelty of the new software
- enhancements as compared to prior systems
- the state of the software and its maturity for application

All nominations will undergo a preliminary review process for short listing.
All short listed systems will have to be presented at the NetSys 2013
conference in Stuttgart (registration to the conference will be needed) in a
demo session, and the price will be awarded following the final selection of
the committee on site.
