Call for Tutorials

The 3rd International Conference on Social Computing and its Applications
(SCA 2013) intends to offer tutorials that provide the conference
participants an opportunity to learn about advanced topics in social
computing and experts a venue to share their expertise with the community
of social computing researchers and practitioners. We solicit proposals for
half-day or full-day tutorials on advanced topics in social computing and
its applications, given by renowned scientists and practitioners in their
fields.

Tutorials must focus on a specific topic and may be delivered as lectures,
hands-on training or other forms of instructional sessions. Incorporating
diverse ways of interacting with the audience is strongly encouraged as
well as advanced scientific topics with strong relation to practical
applications. A list of topics of particular interest (but not limited to)
can be found at
http://socialcloud.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/confs/SCA2013/Calls.php

Tutorial proposals should be submitted in PDF format according to the IEEE
CS format style and not exceed 4 pages. The proposals should be submitted
by email to Jasminko Novak (tutorials.sca2013 at eipcm.org) no later than May
15, 2013.

************************************************
Proposal Criteria

Proposals must include:
    * an abstract, keywords and the e-mail address of the corresponding

    * any other limitations (e.g. number of participants)

conference community,
