CALL FOR TUTORIALS
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

ESWC 2020 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.

We especially solicit proposals for tutorials of the following types:

*        Tutorials with a coherent theme providing an introduction to new
semantic technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g. Knowledge
Graphs, semantic data integration, reasoning, question answering,
ontology-based data access, ontology design principles, provenance and
trust, etc.).

*        Tutorials describing the application of semantic technologies in
specific domains (e.g., life sciences, e-government, e-commerce, Industry
4.0, cultural heritage, education, mobile, music).

*        Tutorials presenting techniques from other fields that are of
relevance for Semantic Web research, including social sciences, digital
humanities, biomedical research, HCI, Information Retrieval, databases,
NLP, Internet of Things, data visualization, etc.

While tutorials may focus on theoretical topics, we encourage organizers to
incorporate hands-on sessions. The tutorial should reach a good balance
between the topic coverage and its relevance to the community.

Tutorials can be half-day or full-day.

We suggest having up to two presenters for half-day and up to four
presenters for full-day tutorials, preferably from different institutions,
contributing different perspectives to the tutorial topic.

material, software installation and usage guides for practical hands-on
sessions, etc.) to the Tutorial Chairs and making it available on the
tutorial Website.

The ESWC 2020 Organizing Committee is responsible for providing on-site
