Posters and Demonstrations Track

Poster papers provide a forum for authors to present their work in an informal and interactive setting. They allow authors and interested participants to connect to each other and to engage in discussions about the work presented. Poster papers should briefly summarize the work to be presented motivating its relevance to the performance engineering community and providing pointers to further information and related work.

Demonstration papers present an existing tool or research prototype clearly identifying the novelty of the ideas demonstrated. Authors are expected to prepare a 5-minute "teaser" presentation and subsequently perform a live demonstration on their own equipment during a dedicated demonstration session. Demonstration papers must describe the goals of the demonstration and key ideas involved in building the tool or prototype. These papers may include use cases or specific results to be presented as part of the demo.

Both poster and demonstration papers will be reviewed and will appear in the Conference Proceedings. In addition, a Best Poster prize and a Best Demonstration prize will be awarded.

The track is also open to submissions that do not include a paper. In that case, the poster or demonstration is reviewed directly, based on the submitted poster or demonstration material. Lacking a standard paper form, such submissions will not appear in the Conference Proceedings.

Submission deadlines

Submission deadline (for submissions with a paper) is 11:59 PM (23:59) Pacific Time on October 21, 2014 (closed). Notification: November 1, 2014. Camera-ready version deadline: December 2, 2014

Paper submissions must be in the standard ACM format for conference proceedings. The submissions should be clearly marked in the text as "Poster Paper" or "Demonstration Paper". The papers should not exceed 2 pages double column including figures and tables.

Poster and demonstration submissions without an accompanying paper will be reviewed based on the poster in pdf file format. The deadline for such submissions will be 11:59 PM (23:59) Pacific Time on November 1, 2014 December 8, 2014. Notification: December 15, 2014.

Submissions without paper: The posters will be reviewed based on submitted materials (such as pdf files). A demonstration will be reviewed based on either the accompanying poster or presentation slide deck (e.g., ppt, odp or pdf slides). Five slides are a good reference number for the presentation.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register at the full rate, attend the conference and present the paper. Presented papers will be published in the ICPE 2015 conference proceedings that will be published by ACM and included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism as well as to the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions.
