The organizing committee of the Cloudification of the Internet of Things 2017 conference (CIoT'17) is seeking proposals for half-day (3 hours) tutorials focusing on the conference topics of interest including IoT, 5G, SDN/NFV, Fog and cloud computing technologies. In addition, CIoT’17 invites the submission of prototype demonstrations of novel applications and systems based on IoT and cloud services. The conference will provide the opportunity to showcase demonstrations that address the challenges of IoT systems, and allow you to maximize the impact of your research by engaging with highly skilled researchers and industry experts. Demonstrations are expected to showcase working systems, novel applications and disruptive ideas.

The final materials for the tutorials (e.g., slides, documents, virtual machine images) must be submitted to the tutorial co-chairs by email on October 25th, 2017.

Submission Guidelines for Demos:
===============================
Authors are invited to submit a demo proposal in the form of a 2-page paper following the IEEE conference double-column format. If possible, include an illustration of the demo system architecture and early results. The demo proposals will be reviewed according to the following criteria:
- Novelty of the research contribution,
- Potential interest and impact to the audience, and
- The quality of the implementation and the presentation
Demo papers will be peer-reviewed and should be submitted via EDAS at https://edas.info/N23586.

At least one author of each accepted Tutorial or Demo must register to the conference and present the demo at the scheduled demo session(s). Please feel free to contact the Co-Chairs if you have any questions regarding the Tutorial/demo content or setup.
