The  27th Conference on  Innovation in Clouds,  Internet, and Networks (ICIN 2024)

invites proposals for research prototype demonstrations.  ICIN focuses on leading-

edge  investigations  into Internet technologies  from basic networking  and cloud

services to novel architectures. It offers a unique opportunity to showcase appli-

cations,  engage with a highly skilled audience, and discuss emerging technologies

and recent research protoktypes with domain experts.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES



Authors are invited  to submit a  3-page demo proposal  in IEEE conference double-

column format,  preferably incorporating  a demo system architecture illustration.

The proposal should also  describe in detail  what ICIN 2024 attendees  will expe-

rience during the demonstration. Furthermore, we encourage software demos that the

audience can interact with.

Authors of regular full and short papers  submitted to ICIN 2024 are encouraged to

submit a demo paper  to showcase the relevance  of the proposal detailed  in their

paper contribution.



Demo papers should  be submitted through  the EDAS entry  of ICIN 2024,  selecting

Demo Paper Track: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=31119&track=118790.



Only PDF files will be accepted.



The demo proposals will be peer-reviewed based on the following criteria:

   * Extent and significance of the research contribution

   * Potential impact on the audience

   * Quality of the proposed implementation

   * Presentation quality



Accepted demo papers  will be included in the  conference proceedings  provided to

ICIN 2024 attendees and will be subsequently submitted to IEEE Xplore.



At least  one author of each  accepted demo is  required to register  to ICIN 2024

conference and present the demo at the scheduled demo session(s).
