CALL FOR TUTORIALS

RCIS has become a recognised conference on research challenges in 
information sciences. Organised for the eleventh time in a row, RCIS 
2017 will be held from 10-12 May 2017 in Brighton, UK.
RCIS will feature several tutorials. Tutorials are 90-minute free format 
sessions, where the presenters share specific and relevant practical 
know-how to conference attendees that are willing to participate. 
Tutorials run in parallel with other conference tracks, and 
participation is included in the attendees’ conference fee. We invite 
proposals for tutorials that may address one or more of the listed 
topics below, although authors should not feel limited by them.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

At RCIS 2017, special attention will be given to the topic “Security and 
Privacy for Information Science”. With the advent of hardware and 
software technologies such as smart phones or cloud computing, which 
support the collection, storage and analysis of information at any time 
and at any place, organisations and individuals are able to access and 
share information like never before. This includes sensitive and 
confidential information that needs to remain private and secure, such 
as medical records, bank accounts, military plans, or personal 
information that individuals consider private, such as photos or videos. 
This year’s RCIS theme aims to explore the role of information science 
models, tools and methods that support security and privacy.

In addition to the main theme of “Security and Privacy for Information 
Science”, RCIS welcomes tutorial submissions from any domain of 
Information Science. The list of interested topics includes, but is not 
limited to:

Information Systems and their Engineering
* Requirements Engineering

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

Tutorial proposals are limited to 5 pages. They must include:

1. A title.
2. An abstract of 150 words maximum.
3. A statement on the value of the tutorial for the attendees.
4. A list of learning objectives, aligned with the value statement.
5. A description of how the activities in the tutorial support the 
learning objectives and how the proposer will pass his/her messages onto 
the attendees.
6. The expected background of the attendees.
7. A concise description of what materials will be provided to 
attendees, if any.
8. A timetable that clearly indicates how the interaction with the 
audience will develop over time.
9. A short bio of the presenters.
10. A history of the tutorial, including whether this tutorial (or any 
derived version) has been given before. If so, details of where and 
when, and how it was received, should be included. Proven track record 
has to be balanced with the innovative aspect of the tutorial.

In preparing your proposal, you are encouraged to include some creative 
techniques to teaching and learning. Any teaching approach that ensures 
active interaction would be greatly appreciated by the RCIS audience. We 
encourage you to craft a tutorial that can deliver high quality content 
in an enjoyable way.

Please also consider including printed or online take-away materials for 
attendees. You can consider templates, checklists, frameworks, etc. that 
attendees can take with them and employ in their own environment.

We also encourage authors to optionally include a 1 or 2-minute video of 
the speakers teasing their tutorial.

By submitting a tutorial proposal, authors implicitly agree that they 
will indeed attend the conference to deliver the tutorial.

Proposals must be submitted using the conference submission site at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2017
where you must choose “Tutorial paper”.

Tutorial submissions will be reviewed by tutorial chairs.
