WIMS’14 : Call for Tutorials

**apologies for cross-postings **

*WIMS-2014 Call for Tutorial Proposals*

The 4^th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and 
Semantics (WIMS 2014) organization committee invites proposals for 
tutorials and/or demonstrations (on new applications) providing in-depth 
background on subjects that are of broad interest to the Web Mining and 
Web Semantics community. This track aims to foster interaction and 
collaboration among participating practitioners and academics, and to 
provide developers with a place to showcase new practical 
implementations of state-of-the-art systems in the areas of interest to 
the Web Intelligence and Semantics community.

*Important Dates*

Tutorial proposals due: Dec 13, 2013
Notification of decision: Dec 20, 2013

*Proposal Details*

The tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program. 
Proposal papers must be no less than 5 pages and no more than 12 pages, 
and must provide a sense of both the scope of the tutorial and depth 
within the scope.

First page of the proposals should include contact information (name, 
email, address, telephone number, and FAX number) and a brief bio of the 
presenters. If the proposed tutorial has been given previously, the 
proposal should include where the tutorial has been given and how it 
will be modified for WIMS’14. The intended length of the tutorial (1 or 
2 or 3 hours) should also be indicated, together with justification that 
a high-quality presentation will be achieved within the chosen time 
period and the indication of the main learning outcomes.

Demonstrations will be an opportunity for showcasing innovative Semantic 
Web related implementations and technologies.

Submitted tutorial/demonstration papers will be reviewed prior to 
publication, and may be rejected for publication, if either the 
technical quality of the paper is insufficient or the content of the 
paper does not match the content of the tutorial. Tutorial/Demonstration 
papers will be published in the conference proceedings as part of the 
ACM International Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through 
the ACM Digital Library.

Please note that the submission format is MS Word or PDF. The papers 
must be written in English and formatted according to the ACM SIG 
Proceedings Templates 
<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted via email to the workshop and 
tutorials chairs.
