Call for Demos
The ER 2015 Demo session complements the overall program of the conference. It is designed to provide an exciting and highly interactive way to demonstrate conceptual modeling research, and an excellent way to advertise the applicability of the results and gather feedback from the international conceptual modeling community.
Proposals should be related to the topics of interest of the main conference track and could include computational environments and prototypes for conceptual modeling, practical conceptual modeling projects, advances in applying conceptual modeling, lessons learned, and late-braking results of innovative use of conceptual modeling techniques. The session is focused on academic and research software, and it is not intended for the demonstration of commercial products.
Submissions to the demonstrations track should make clear what will be demonstrated, and in particular point out what makes the demonstration a novel showcase. Submission should also specify:
- What is the research background and application context of the demonstration;
- What are the key technologies used and what are the technical challenges addressed;
- How does the demonstrated system, application or infrastructure relate to pre-existing work and what makes this a novel showcase for conceptual modeling;
- What exactly will be demonstrated? For whom is it most interesting/useful – for a conceptual modeling researcher, for a graduate or undergraduate student, for a practitioner? What exactly will a visitor of the demonstration learn?
Important Dates
- Proposals: May 28th, 2015
- Notification: June 10th, 2015

Submission Guidelines
All submitted proposals must be formatted according to the instructions for submission format for research submissions. Demo proposals must be no more than four pages long. These page limits include all parts of the paper: title, abstract, body, and bibliography. Proposals should clearly describe what will be demonstrated and how the contribution will be illustrated interactively. Proposals couldo also include a URL that showed a preliminary version of the demo (e.g., screenshots, or even an interactive program).
