IPTComm 2011 includes special sessions focused on demonstrations and 
industrial innovations. The Industrial Talks session highlights 
innovative solutions and their impact and benefits for the community. 
The Demos session features working systems with a demonstrable impact on 
products in the short-medium term as well as prototypes with long-term 
research visions. Topics of interest for both talks and demos cover new 
services and service models, aspects related to management, resilience 
and security of IP-based telecommunications networks as well as topics 
related to mobile IP communications, and other topics outlined in the 
main conference call for papers available at 
http://www.iptcomm.org/cfp/index.html. The expectations and requirements 
for submissions in these two separate sessions are listed below.

Industrial talks: Talk submissions should include a title and an 
abstract detailing the topics to be addressed during the talk and the 
significance of the contribution relative to the conference themes. 
Submissions must be in English and must not exceed two pages. Priority 
will be given to talks that highlight the innovation of the solutions 
presented as well as the impact and the benefits for the community. 
Persons involved in innovative industrial activities and designs are 
particularly encouraged to submit talk abstracts. The session is 
intended to foster the feedback from design to research with a high 
degree of discussion and ideas exchange. Submit your proposal by using 
EDAS (http://edas.info/N10347) and clicking on the Demonstration and 
Presentation Track link.

Demos: Demonstration submissions should include a title, a short 
description of the system, a summary of its novel characteristics, the 
list of functions and features to be demonstrated, and a statement of 
the significance of the contribution relative to the conference themes. 
Submissions must be in English and must not exceed four pages. Authors 
are encouraged to include in their submissions a link to a set of 
screenshots, and/or mockups, and/or animations of the proposed 
demonstration where possible. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis 
of their innovation, practical value, relevance, and presentation. The 
demo session is seen as an opportunity for researchers to come together 
with developers and industry to discuss practically oriented topics.
