The purpose of this program is to promote exchange of ideas, in a way that is not possible in the course of a paper presentation or a poster session.

Demonstrators shall make the session a dynamic experience bringing attendees to interact. Execution of scenarios proposed by the demonstrator and variant of those scenarios proposed by attendees are expected to create opportunities to :

- challenge the ideas behind the implementation ;
- assess the pro and cons of the methodology and technics used to embody those ideas ;
- give concrete examples of ITS to newcomers in the field of ITS ;
- see live demonstration of research systems and prototypes that we often hear about ;
- see the stage of achievement of ideas proposed in the course of a paper presentation or a poster session.

The selected proposals will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their system twice : on June 24th, 2008 before the welcome cocktail and on June 25th, concurrently with the poster session. Submission of a demonstration proposal on a particular topic does not preclude or require a separate submission of a regular paper on that topic. The selection of demos will be based upon a number of factors, including scientific contribution, originality, innovation and potential logistic constraints. Commercial products are eligible, but sales and marketing activities are not
appropriate.

*** An award will be given to the best demonstration. ***
