Call for demos

DFT is a specialist symposium with delegates from industry and academia, and as such it is a good opportunity especially for academic researchers to promote their tools and prototypes, and network with the leading experts in relevant fields.

This year DFT will provide researchers with the opportunity to demonstrate their research outcome and products (including software design automation tools, simulators, hardware prototypes, etc.), as a complementary presentation to the regular paper sessions and industrial demos. These demos will take place during coffee breaks.

DFT organizing committee seeks proposals from universities for these demos covering any topic of interest within the remits of the symposium topics (refer to the call for papers). Demos can be different from accepted papers, aim of this session is to provide opportunity for early feedback and raising awareness of a developed research idea.

Proposal submission

Prospective presenters should submit a 1-page (double column IEEE format) extended abstract of the demo, specifying the title, the list of authors and their affiliation. Proposals have to be submitted by email to both the Program co-Chairs:
