General Information
MASCOTS 2019 (IEEE International Symposium on the Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems) will host a demonstration session. This session offers the opportunity to researchers, both from academia or the industry, not only to present their ideas but also to provide hands-on experience to the audience. Therefore in respect to a traditional paper presentation the demo session is a powerful way to showcase implementations and the successful shift from ideas to projects and projects to prototype.
MASCOTS 2019 Demo session should be related to modeling, analysis, and simulation of computer and/or telecommunication systems, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Computer architectures, multi-core processors, and memory systems
- Performance monitoring of storage system
- Network congestion and monitoring
- Data and control plane separation
- Advanced machine learning techniques.
- Power modeling and measurement of embedded computing devices
- Databases and big data systems and technologies
- Distributed, cloud, and fog computing
- Multi-access edge computing
- Security in computer and communication systems
Demonstration are supposed to illustrate a technological result in an appealing and attractive way. Presenters are encouraged to deliver lively and interactive demonstration. Please note that demonstration are not supposed to be marketing for existing products and existings feature available on sales but to promote innovation.
Presentation format:
A typical demonstration slot if about 30 minutes which could be dispatched in a short introductory presentation (10 minutes), with a demo of 15 minutes and 5 minutes of Q&A. The demo itself can run live either on the presenter laptop, remote through wifi or has been recorded previously.
Submitting a demo
The submission is an extended abstract of 2 pages including a dedicated section to state clearly the added value of a demonstration. The submission has to focus on the technical / scientific content of the demo.
Submissions to be made prior to August 15th on mascots.demo2019@gmail.com.
It is understood that full papers can also run for demo session. In such a case accepted full paper can contact directly the Demo session chair in order to discuss the setting of the demo.
For guidelines regarding formatting, please refer to the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings. All papers must be formatted using the two-column IEEE conference style with a font size of 10 points or greater.

Accepted demonstration will be contacted by the chair in order to address the practicalities. The goal is to deliver the demo in a robust and satisfying way to the audience Participants are expected to bring the necessary equipment to the conference site with them. By default, the conference will provide:
- One A0 poster board
- Wireless internet connectivity
- HDMI / VGA video projector
Selection Process
The selection process for MASCOTS’19 demos is curated, that is, selected by a committee, but not sent out to external reviewers. The demo content will be selected from demonstration submissions or accepted papers. Authors will not receive formal feedback on their submission other than the selection decision. Confidentiality of submissions will be maintained during the selection process. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity. All submitted materials for accepted submissions will be kept confidential until the start of the conference.
Demo Session Chairs:
- Jean-Thomas Acquaviva (DDN Storage)
- Philippe Raipin (Orange Labs)
