peer-reviewed and therefore not included in the conference proceedings - although
the submission of a technical paper on the software that meets one of the conference
themes is encouraged! To be eligible for a presentation during the software
demo sessions, the software must be a commercial product or be freely available
(on a web site for example). Furthermore, the presenter must be a registered
participant. Please note that the scientific committee has the right to limit
the number of software tools being presented.</span></font></p>
