Due to ongoing uncertainty about future travel caused by COVID-19, ICSOC’2020 is monitoring the situation and will consider adequate arrangements for the presentations of accepted papers as the situation evolves. We will update this information on a regular basis.

Submission deadlines have been extended to accommodate the different extension requests.

In an attempt to maximize the chances of having ICSOC 2020 happening physically in Dubai, the organizing committee has agreed to postpone the event to December 14-17, 2020. The committee will continue monitoring the situation and will advise if any further information is received about the situation. We naturally keep the online option if it is necessary.

The submission and selection process for the ICSOC 2020 Demos will be separate from that of the main conference. Each submission will be assessed by the Demos Program Committee. The authors will receive a brief evaluation report with the notification. The evaluation criteria are:
Relevance to the ICSOC conference
Significance and originality
Video content and presentation
Maturity and readiness of the demonstration
Potential for public interaction
Potential impact in the intended application domain
Potential interest to a broader audience
Best Demonstration Award
The “Best Demo” Awards will be given to the demos that the Demonstration Program Committee judges to be the best in quality, execution, and impact among all the accepted demos in the conference.
