Representative image:
Accepted demo abstracts will be published in the conference digest along with a representative image. The image should be at least 500 x 500 pixels and 300 dpi in JPEG format.

Floor plan:
The floor plan should be one A4 page in PDF format. This should clearly indicate where the demo presenter(s) and the attendee(s) will stand/sit, as well as equipment locations such as hardware components, tables, chairs, and power strips. It is important to label the plan with dimensions, and you may use whichever unit of length (meters or feet).

Note

The standard space allocation for each demo will include one table (1500 x 450 mm or 1800 x 450 mm), two chairs, a poster board and one 100V (Max 500W) outlet. If you have special requests regarding the demonstration, please also state them in the submission.
Demos will be replaced daily. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare, announce and withdraw in one day.
If you had already presented the same demonstration elsewhere, please describe the venue and whether any modification had been made since the previous presentation.
Please note that the accepted demo proposals will be included in the USB proceedings but they will not appear on the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Videos of accepted proposals may be used for promotional purposes at the conference and dissemination activities.
