ICWE 2011: CALL FOR TUTORIALS

11th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2011)

June 20-24, 2011, Paphos, Cyprus

http://icwe2011.webengineering.org/

Extended Submission Deadline: February 28, 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.

assumed background. Proposals must be no more than 3 pages and must
