lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt'>Software companies and individuals are
invited to take part in special software demos sessions during the conference. Much
like technical presentations, the software demos sessions will consist of
presentations in front of an audience. However, these presentations will not be
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>
