Demonstrations are an outstanding vehicle for sharing the novel and interesting technical aspects of your object-oriented projects, tools, or systems. Presentations must be in the form of running computer programs, although a brief overview presentation is expected.
We are seeking proposals for demonstrations of commercial and in-house applications, as well as academic and corporate research. Demonstrations will be selected on the basis of technical merit, relevance to object-oriented technology, novel features, and feasibility of presentation at OOPSLA. Presenters of accepted demonstrations must be members of the development or implementation team and must keep in mind that they will demonstrate to a technical audience looking for technical content.
A word of caution to commercial developers: product marketing or sales presentations are inappropriate for this forum and will be rejected without consideration. Demonstrations of commercial products should be focused on presenting the technical content of the product itself, and must not be related to the commercial aspects of the product. Any comment regarding availability or pricing during the demonstration itself will be grounds for cancellation.
Anyone considering submitting a proposal for a demonstration should contact the Demonstrations Chair or access the conference web page for guidelines on demonstration submissions. Electronic mail submissions and those using the HTML form provided on the conference web page will be greatly appreciated. Note that because a significant amount of communication will occur via electronic mail, any proposal without an electronic mail address cannot be accepted. Abstracts of the accepted demonstrations will be published in the OOPSLA Addendum.
Proposals must be received by Demonstrations Chair: July 3, 1997. Notification of acceptance or rejection: July 18, 1997. Deadline for Addendum camera-ready and electronic copy: December 8, 1997.
