Submission and Presentation

---

The written and spoken language of ISM 2016 is English. For technical demonstrations, authors should submit:

• A 2-page manuscript in double-column IEEE format including the authors' names and affiliations,
• A short abstract electronically, following the submission guidelines available on the ISM2016 web page.

Moreover, submission of a presentation/video, which can be a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, HTML5 document, or an H.265/VP9/MPEG/WMV video clip, not more than five minutes long is encouraged. Please create a single zip archive of all files, and upload it to the paper submission system. Only electronic submissions will be accepted.

All technical demonstration papers should be in Adobe portable document format (PDF). The Conference Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and be available for online access via IEEEXplore. All submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure quality. Demonstrators will be provided with space and access to a local network, however, demos should not rely on Internet access. The participants will be required to provide their own computing equipment and any additional network, display, or other specific hardware needed for the demonstration.
