RESEARCH DEMOS: Informal proposals for research demos are
solicited.  Proposals will be reviewed and selection will be made
based on the perceived value to the research community and interest
level for the conference attendees. Proposals should not exceed 3
pages and should include: the focus area, technologies involved,
specific equipment to be used, demo layout and space required. Please
submit proposals to the Research Demos Chair(s) by February 21,
