High-quality tutorials are an asset to every conference and will, therefore, also be part of the attractive program of CCNC'2005. They complement the depth-oriented technical sessions by providing participants with broad overviews of emerging fields. There are four half-day tutorials planned for Monday afternoon, January 3, 2005, and four half-day tutorials planned for Thursday morning, January 6, 2005. There are no full-day tutorials planned for CCNC 2005.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Proposals for tutorials on subjects related to the conference's key areas (see also the Call for Papers) should be submitted electronically to the Tutorial Chair: Guenter Schaefer before the submission deadline of August 30, 2004.

The preferred format is PDF, but proposals in the form of plain text, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, or Postscript will also be accepted. When preparing your proposal, please use the tutorial form linked from this page in Microsoft Word or PDF format (the PDF form is provided as a guideline for instructors who prefer other word-processing software).

REVIEW PROCESS

Tutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their estimated benefit for prospective participants and on their fit within the tutorials program as a whole. Factors to be considered include: relevance, timeliness, importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half-day format; and past experience and qualifications of the instructors. Selection is also based on the overall distribution of topics, expected attendance, and specialties of the intended audiences. Thus, not all tutorials of technical merit can be accommodated within the tutorials program.
