We invite demonstration contributions to The Web Conference 2025 (formerly known as WWW). The conference will take place in Sydney, Australia, from 28 April to 2 May, 2025.
The Web Conference is the premier conference focused on understanding the current state and the evolution of the Web through the lens of different disciplines, including computing, computational social science, economics and political sciences.
The Demo Track is a forum to foster interactions among researchers and practitioners by allowing them to demonstrate their new and innovative work. In addition, the track will enable conference attendees to learn novel ongoing research projects through informal interactions. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system. We strongly encourage submissions describing innovative applications, with which the conference attendees can interact directly hands-on.
Submitted demos are expected to be aligned with one or more of the relevant topics of The Web Conference community (such as those covered by the research tracks).
All submission deadlines are end-of-day in the Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
Submissions should clearly detail the context, and contributions, of the demonstration that is being proposed. It is essential to outline how the demonstration would be instantiated and deployed in a conference venue.
Formatting Requirements. Submissions must be written in English, in double-column format, and must adhere to the ACM template and format (also available in Overleaf). Word users may use the Word Interim Template. The recommended setting for LaTeX is:
\documentclass[sigconf, review]{acmart}.
A submission must be as a single PDF file of at most 4 (four) pages in length, including references. We also highly encourage submissions to include external material related to the demonstration (e.g., code repository on Github or equivalent) in the submission.
Submission Site. Submissions must be made through the EasyChair system at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=www25companion (select the Demo track).
Authorship. Submissions are not anonymous, hence authors should list their names and affiliations.
Reviewing. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the Demo Committee based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The review process will be single-blind.
Ethical Use of Data and Informed Consent. Authors are required to include a section on the ethical use of data and/or informed consent of research participants to detail how such issues have been considered and addressed, both for the development of the demo object and for its potential deployment in a conference setting. You and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects (posted in 2021). Please ensure all authors are familiar with these policies.
Please consult the regulations of your institution(s) indicating when a review by an Institutional Ethics Review Board (IRB) is needed. Note that submitting your research for approval by such a body may not always be sufficient; even if such research has been approved by your IRB, the program committee might raise additional concerns about the ethical implications of the work and include these concerns in its review.
Publication. Each accepted paper will be included in the Companion Proceedings of the Web Conference 2025. In addition, each paper is required to submit a brief pre-recorded video, which will appear on ACM Digital Library, along with the PDF.
Registration. To be included in the proceedings, every accepted paper must be covered by a distinct conference registration, e.g., two papers require two registrations, even if they have overlapping authors. This registration must be Full Conference (5-day) or Main Conference (3-day) registration, at the standard (non-student) in-person rate, payment of which must be completed by the camera-ready deadline. This registration requirement applies universally, regardless of attendance or presentation mode.
Presentation. Due to the interactive nature of demos, every accepted demo paper must be presented at the conference in person. No-show papers may be withdrawn from the proceedings. In addition, all demos will be asked to present a poster on-site.
