ICWE 2011: Call for Tutorials

Since a special focus of ICWE 2011 will be on "Web Data Engineering", it 
would be great to have also one LOD-related tutorial next year.

ICWE 2011: CALL FOR TUTORIALS

11th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2011)

June 20-24, 2011, Paphos, Cyprus

http://icwe2011.webengineering.org/

Submission Deadline: February 14, 2011
-----------------------------

The International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE) aims at promoting 
scientific and practical excellence on Web Engineering, and at bringing 
together researchers and practitioners working in technologies, 
methodologies, tools, and techniques used to develop and maintain 
Web-based applications leading to better systems, and thus to enabling 
and improving the dissemination and use of content and services through 
the Web.


*** Call for Tutorials ***

ICWE 2011 invites proposals for tutorials that will provide conference 
participants with the opportunity to gain knowledge and insights in a 
broad range of Web Engineering areas. Participants at the tutorials 
include scientists and practitioners, who are seeking to gain a better 
understanding of the technologies, methodologies, tools, and techniques 
used to develop and maintain Web-based applications.

Proposed tutorials can be either half-day long (3 hours) or full-day 
long (6 hours). Tutorial proposals should address issues related to the 
topics of the conference. Topics not mentioned in the topics of interest 
list are also encouraged as long as they are of special relevance to 
ICWE 2011.

Tutorial presenters will receive an honorarium depending on the number 
of attendees and one free registration for ICWE 2011. The precise amount 
of the honorarium will be determined after the early registration 
deadline. This amount is per tutorial, not per speaker. Travel and 
accommodation arrangements are up to the speakers.

Tutorials that have less than 8 early registrants will face the risk of 
cancellation.

Tutorial proposals must clearly identify the intended audience and its 
assumed background. Proposals must be no more than 3 pages and must 
provide a sense of both the scope of the tutorial and depth within the

indicated, together with justification that a high-quality presentation 
will be achieved within the chosen time frame. Proposals should also 
include contact information and a brief bio of the presenters. If the 
tutorial has been given previously, the proposal should include where 
the tutorial has been given and how it will be modified for ICWE 2011.
In summary, tutorial proposals must include the following information:

  * Tutorial title.
  * Tutorial abstract: 1-2 paragraphs describing the goals and contents 
of the tutorial (will be included in the conference registration materials).
  * Intended Length: half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours).
  * Description of the tutorial providing its scope (general topic area) 
and depth, as well as its aims and learning outcomes.
  * Intended audience and assumed background knowledge.
  * Presenter(s) contact information: name, affiliation, email, mailing 
address, phone, fax.
  * Presenter(s) short biography demonstrating that she/he is an expert

  * Relevant references.
  * Indication if the proposed tutorial has been given previously.
  * Sample slides of the tutorial, if available.

Proposals must be in PDF format and submitted electronically to the 
tutorial chairs (tutorials [at] icwe2011.webengineering.org) no later 
than the submission deadline.

Presenters of accepted tutorials will be required to prepare a one-page 
summary of the tutorial by the camera-ready copy deadline to be included 
in the Springer LNCS main conference proceedings. Presenters should also
