The Agents '99 conference will include a full session of software demonstrations, showcasing the latest agent software products and research projects.  All demos will be given in parallel in an informal
setting. Demos should be brief so that they can be shown repeatedly during the session.

Demo submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their innovation, relevance, scientific contribution, and potential logistic constraints. Commercial products are eligible, but sales and marketing activities are not appropriate.

Submissions will consist of a cover letter indicating the primary author's name, affiliation, address, phone number, and email address, and the following (hardcopy submissions should include two copies):

1. A two-page summary of the technical content of the demo. This summary will be handed out at the conference.
2. A detailed description of hardware and software requirements. Please indicate what hardware or software you can supply these yourself. Agents '99 will attempt to provide necessary equipment, but some demonstrators may be required to provide their own equipment.
3. A demo storyboard with at least six screen dumps (not more than six pages, including pictures).

Authors of accepted Agents '99 papers will be invited to demonstrate their systems at the conference, assuming appropriate equipment can be arranged. Authors of accepted papers must still provide items (1) and (2) above by the deadline if they wish to present software demos.

Submissions (email or hardcopy) should be sent to:
