IEEE ScalCom2019 will provide an exciting platform for researchers and practitioners to demo and post their Big Data Tools, Edge, Fog and Cloud Computing infrastructures, IoT communication protocols, Large Complex Systems, etc. All accepted posters and demos will be included in the conference proceedings as poster papers. they must be presented during the conference poster & demo session during the conference.

Submission Guidelines

For posters, presenters must submit a poster paper about their research. Each submission will be submitted as a short paper (up to 4 pages), describing the related research work, as well as the relevance and importance to scalable computing and communications. All of submissions will be reviewed by a committee. If accepted, this poster paper will be published in the proceedings of the conference.  

Demo proposals of high-performance computing tools (middleware, data management, simulators, programming languages and libraries, applications) are welcome on all subjects related to ScalCom. A typical demo presentation is 30-minutes long consisting of a live demonstration or a mix of talk and live demonstration. The authors will be given the opportunity to present their prototypes or products to a wide audience in dedicated demo sessions. 

Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard IEEE proceedings format in PDF. All submissions must be typeset in double-column IEEE format, with all fonts embedded. Submitted papers must include the contact information of all the authors. Please make sure you use the latest version of the templates to prepare your submissions. Due to the short interval between the notification of acceptance and the camera-ready deadline, we strongly encourage authors to follow the camera-ready formatting guidelines as close as possible.
