10th ESWC 2013 -- Semantics and Big Data

May 26-30, 2013. Montpellier, France.

==== Call for Tutorials ====

 

ESWC 2013 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 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 can be half a day or a full day.

 

We advise having more than one presenter and no more than three, preferably
from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop
topic.

 

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

 

Timeline for Tutorials

Responsibilities

----------------

Organizers of accepted tutorials are responsible for preparing and
maintaining a Web site that describes the tutorial and includes all relevant
information. Organizers are also responsible for submitting the material to
be given to attendees (slide sets, additional teaching material, software
installation and usage guides for practical hands-on sessions, etc.) to the
Tutorial Chair. The ESWC 2013 Organizing Committee is responsible for
providing publicity for the tutorials as part of the conference publicity
activities, and on-site logistical support to the organizers and attendees.

 

General Information

-------------------

Organizers of workshops and tutorials will get a free registration for
workshop and tutorials, i.e. they will only have to pay the main conference
fees. Further, each workshop or tutorial that attracts more than 15
registered participants (excluding the organizers) will get one full
registration for the conference. This registration can be used for example
to pay for an invited speaker.

 

Submission details

------------------

Tutorial proposals should not exceed 5 pages, using an 11 pt font for the
body of the text of the proposal and should contain the following
information:

 

- Abstract (200 words maximum, for inclusion on the ESWC 2013 website).

        

- Tutorial description: More specifically, it should specify the objectives
of the tutorial and relevance to ESWC 2013, include enough details on the
scope of the material to be covered and the depth to which it will be
covered and specify the intended audience and any prerequisite knowledge.
Appropriate references to the material to be covered by the tutorial must be
included.

 

- Tutorial length. The tutorial can be full or half day (if the tutorial can
be either length, please be sure to identify which material is included for
each length).

        

- Specify other venues to which the tutorial or part thereof has or will be
presented, in addition to explaining how the current tutorial differs from
the other editions. Links to the slides of those tutorial editions should be
included in the proposal.

        

- Brief professional biography of the presenter(s) indicating previous
training and speaking experience (such as teaching and tutorial
presentation).

 

Each proposal will be reviewed by the members of the tutorial programme
committee, and ranked based on the overall quality of the proposal and the
tutorial's fit to the conference. Their recommendation will determine the
final decision on the acceptance/rejection of each proposal.
