Call for Demos

Fall 2007 Internet2 Member Meeting
Town and Country Resort and Convention Center
San Diego, CA
October 8-11, 2007

Proposal Deadline: Friday, August 17

Internet2 is soliciting advanced networking applications demonstrations for the Fall 2007 Internet2 Member Meeting, which will be held at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center in San Diego, CA. Internet2 university members, corporate members, association members, affiliate members, association members, working groups, and international partners are all invited to participate in the demos. Applications from all disciplines are welcome.

We are seeking 8 - 10 demonstrations that are capable of utilizing the bandwidth at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. We have 1200 square feet of Lobby space, 1300 square feet of Classroom space, and 900 square feet of Computer Room space available. Please note that it may be difficult to adjust the lighting in the Lobby and Computer Room space. In addition, be aware that the Computer Room space is noisy.

Why Demo?

Over 100 Internet2 member institutions have participated in demonstrations at Internet2-related events. Demos provide several opportunities, including:

• Demonstrating, to an international audience, the interesting applications we have under development or in use.
• Engaging the interest and imagination of those who may develop their own applications after seeing the demos.
• Giving the demonstrators an opportunity to show off their efforts and to seek new partners and sponsors for their efforts.

Internet2 university members, corporate members, affiliate members, association members, and international partners are all invited to participate in the demos. Internet2 would like to feature demos that showcase how advanced networking is enabling the research and education community to find new methods of scientific communication, collaboration, and visualization—often in partnership between U.S. researchers, faculty, students and their overseas counterparts. Applications from all disciplines are welcome. The primary objective is that we showcase network-intensive applications that demonstrate the reality and the potential of Internet2 environments. Demos that illustrate how Internet2 can facilitate technology transfer from the lab to the marketplace are also welcome. To get an idea of the types of demos were featured at past events, refer to our demo archive.

How to Submit Your Demo for Consideration

If you’re interested in demonstrating, please review the demonstration criteria and complete the demo submission form by Friday, August 17. We may approve the demos as they are submitted, so earlier submissions are preferred.

Please Consider Presenting Also!

If you have a compelling research and education application, we are also looking for speakers during the Member Meeting itself. We are interested in presentations that talk about the problem to be solved, your approach to solving it, and what you've learned. These applications do not need to be complete or fully operational — demos of works in progress are also welcome.
