Short Papers for Video Demonstration Session


Call for short paper: Short papers for Video Demonstration Session (2 pages)


Demonstration video sessions provide a great opportunity for authors to present their early-stage research, prototypes, and products to symposium attendees. We will provide the sessions for playing a narrated video. Our goal is to provide a high demonstration forum for sharing the research and development results in terms of practical and academic. Papers for 1st submission should be 2 pages and final manuscripts also should be 2 camera-ready pages. All short papers are peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in IEEE proceedings volume to be included in IEEE Xplore.

Templates and submission procedure

All papers submitted to SII2021 will undergo a peer-review process. A manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, who will provide detailed comments and – if the submission gets accepted – the authors submit a revised ("camera-ready") version that takes into account this feedback. The review process is managed by the program chair and the conference associate editors.

All papers are reviewed using a single-blind review process: authors declare their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers do not know each other's identities, nor do the authors receive information about who has reviewed their manuscript.

Authors should use the templates provided by the electronic submission system. The templates for the "A4" format paper should be used.

The manuscript submission website will require that you submit your abstract and make any final changes to the author list and title of the paper before uploading the paper.

All authors and co-authors must be registered in the electronic submission system. It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure that the complete author list and the correct title are being entered. This information will be used for the conference program and the proceedings.

Authors should adhere to the following steps for submitting the paper
  1. Create an account: go to https://ras.papercept.net/, then PIN and fill out the form. Ask all your co-authors to do the same if they do not have an account on the system yet, write down the authors' PINs (this information is needed for manuscript processing purposes).
  2. Go to Support Menu and depending on how you are preparing your paper, download a template: LaTeX or MS-Word, Use these templates/style files to create the paper and save in PDF format.
  3. Upload the paper: go to https://ras.papercept.net/ and click on "Submit a contribution to SII 2021".
  4. Submit (short paper).
  5. Fill in the form presented on the next page (make sure to enter all author PINs created in Step 1).

In the demonstration video sessions, the authors can choose one of the following presentation styles:

  • Video demonstration and spotlight presentation
  • Live demonstration

The "video demonstration and spotlight presentation" includes introduction of the submitted video and additional short explanation of the research.

The "live demonstration" requires online demonstration from their lab. or office through live streaming. The authors who choose a live demonstration are allotted longer time than video demonstration and spotlight presentation.

Both presentation styles include Q&A at the end of the presentation.
