Tutorials Call

The goal of a tutorial is to provide attendees a first introduction into a topic or technology. A tutorial can cover any topic in the scope of CBI or EDOC, and ideally it has an adequately supporting corpus of past work and significant prospects of future expansion research-wise.

Tutorial proposals must be no more than 8 pages long, and must provide a sense of both the scope of the tutorial and the depth within the scope.

A tutorial proposal must include:

  • Tutorial title
  • The tutor(s) name, affiliation, and contact information
  • A short bio of all tutors
  • Five-line abstract
  • Goals and objectives to be achieved during the tutorial (it must identify the intended audience and its assumed background, as also any prerequisites)
  • Topic relevance and novelty, explain the value participants gain from attending this tutorial
  • Detailed outline and timetable (tutorials typically will be tentatively scheduled for the first day of the conference, and must last for 90 or 180 minutes)
  • Teaching method
  • Technology or any other requirements that the local organization must provide for the session (tutors must provide their own computers for presentations or running software)
  • References: papers, books, or any other resources that the tutorial builds on
  • Previous venues at which similar tutorials might have been presented, and an indication of the number of participants

Tutorials will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • Fit with CBI or EDOC audience (please see topics of interest to the two conferences)
  • Active involvement: It needs to be clear how participants are actively involved in the tutorial (a tutorial typically should not be a purely frontal extended lecture but rather embrace active discussion and participation).

Services Provided to Tutorial Presenters

  • Tutorials will benefit from the local organizational infrastructure (registration, badges, refreshments, rooms and screens, etc.).
  • Participation in tutorials will be available to all registered participants at no extra costs (participants will be asked to register in tutorials during the registration act, so this information will be shared with the tutors in due time).
  • Advertisement of the tutorial on the CBI/EDOC 2024 homepages and announcement of the tutorials via mailing lists.
  • Tutorial presenters can submit a 4-page tutorial paper for publication with the Springer EDOC conference post-proceedings.
  • The conference fee will be waived for one tutor (fees are only waived if the tutor is not a presenting author of any other track).
