Call for Tutorial Proposals: ESWC 2012

Apologies for cross-posting
---------------------

ESWC 2012 invites tutorials that address the interests of its varied 
audience: people new to the Semantic Web, Semantic Web researchers and 
practitioners that wish to learn new technologies, users of Semantic Web 
technologies, and representatives of government and funding agencies as 
well as potential private investors in Semantic Web technologies. We 
welcome submissions of tutorial proposals on all major topics related to 
semantic technologies, including, but not limited to those covered by 
the research, in-use and special tracks of the conference:

- Semantic Web In-Use
- Ontologies
- Reasoning
- Semantic Data Management
- Social Web and Web Science
- Linked Open Data
- Semantic Web Data in the Cloud
- Processes, Services and Cloud Computing
- Natural Language Processing
- Sensor and Mobile Web
- Machine Learning
- Digital Libraries and Cultural Heritage
- EGovernment: Using Semantics for Promoting Interoperability in the - 
Public Sector

We especially solicit proposals for tutorials of the following types:
- Tutorials with a coherent theme providing an introduction to new 
semantic technologies and trends.

- Tutorials describing the application of semantic technologies in 
specific domains (e.g., life-sciences, e-government, e-commerce etc.).

- Tutorials presenting techniques from other research fields that are of 
relevance for Semantic Web research especially in relationship to the 
tracks of the conference (e.g., techniques from social science, database 
techniques, NLP techniques etc.).

Tutorials may focus entirely on theoretical aspects; however, we 
encourage organisers to incorporate hands-on sessions where appropriate. 
The tutorials should reach a good balance between the topic coverage and 
its relevance to the community.

In the interest of the overall quality of the conference, tutorial 
chairs reserve the right to merge tutorials and/or adjust the scope 
thereof in the case in which a minimum number of registrations is not 
reached by the early registration deadline.
