Call for Demos
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Due to concerns about COVID-19, RecSys 2020 will cancel its
physical component and go fully virtual. To support authors
through these stressful times, deadlines are extended.
Demos show implementations of novel, interesting, and important
recommender systems' concepts or applications. Allowing potential
users to see and use a demo of a research work makes them excited
about it – it makes the work real and tangible. Demos also allow
developers from small start-ups to large industries to present new
recommender ideas and get valuable feedback from the recommender
systems community.
RecSys has an excellent history of being well-attended by industry
representatives — past conferences have had attendees and
presenters from Netflix, Amazon, Booking, Google, Facebook,
LinkedIn, Criteo, Pandora, Spotify, etc. The blend of industry and
academic attention provides an excellent environment to
demonstrate and discuss latest inventions or ideas.
We invite demonstrations relevant to all aspects of recommender
systems, including, but not limited to:
* Interaction techniques (preference elicitation interfaces,
recommendation presentation, explanations, and more)
* Tools for development and analysis of recommender systems
(design tools, evaluation systems, analytics tools)
* Innovative applications of recommender systems
* Recommender user experiments
* Recommender platforms
Accepted demonstrations will be published in the conference
proceedings. Authors will also be required to present a poster of
their work at the conference.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically.
Demonstrations must be submitted to PCS by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on
Earth) on June 8th, 2020. There will be no extensions to the
submission deadline.
Formatting. ACM is changing the archive format of its publications
to separate content from presentation in the new Digital Library,
enhance accessibility, and improve the flexibility and resiliency
of our publications. Following the new ACM publication workflow,
all authors should submit manuscripts for review in a
single-column format. The maximum length for demonstrations is 3
pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format.
Instructions for Word and LaTeX authors are given below:
* Microsoft Word: Write your submission using the Submission
Template (Review Submission Format). Follow the embedded
instructions to apply the paragraph styles to your various text
elements. The text is in single-column format at this stage and no
additional formatting is required at this point.
* LaTeX: Please use the latest version of the Master Article
Template - LaTeX to create your submission. You must use the
"manuscript" option with the \documentclass[manuscript]{acmart}
command to generate the output in a single-column format which is
required for review. Please see the LaTeX documentation and ACM's
LaTeX best practices guide for further instructions. To ensure
100% compatibility with The ACM Publishing System (TAPS), please
restrict the use of packages to the whitelist of approved LaTeX
packages.
Authors are strongly encouraged to provide "alt text" (alternative
text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that
readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for
these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text
will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be
loaded. This benefits the author as well as it broadens the reader
base for the author's work. Moreover, the alt text provides
in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps
to properly index these floats.
Should you have any questions or issues going through the
instructions above, please contact support at
acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com for both LaTeX and Microsoft Word
inquiries.
Accepted demonstrations will be later submitted to ACM's new
production platform where authors will be able to review PDF and
HTML output formats before publication.
Contents. The description of the demo must include the following:
* An overview of the algorithm or system that is the core of the
demo, including citations to any publications that support the
work.
* A discussion of the purpose and the novelty of the demo.
* A description of the required setup. If the system will feature
an installable component (e.g., mobile app) or website for users
to use throughout or after the conference, please mention this.
* A link to a narrated screen capture of your system in action,
ideally a video. (This section will be removed for the
camera-ready version of accepted contributions.)
Anonymity. All submissions will be single-blind peer reviewed.
This means that submissions should include information identifying
the authors and their organization.
Originality. Demos must not be under review in any other
conference at the time of submission and must contain novel
contributions.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Demo submission deadline: June 8th, 2020
