Call for Tutorials @CAiSE'19 - 31st International Conference on Advanced 
Information Systems Engineering
June 3-7, 2019 - Rome, Italy
https://www.caise19.it/call-for-tutorials/

CAiSE'19 invites proposals for tutorials on advanced topics in the field 
of Information Systems Engineering. These tutorials will be 90 minutes 
long and will offer insights, knowledge, and skills to practitioners, 
academics, and students seeking to gain a deeper understanding of 
methods of broad interest in the field, or emergent paradigms that are 
ripe for practical adoption or that require further research to reach 
maturity. Proposals emphasizing the special theme of the CAISE'19 
conference ''Responsible Information Systems'' are encouraged, but 
proposals on other new or long-standing fundamental challenges of 
Information Systems Engineering are also welcome.

Tutorials are intended to provide a pedagogic introduction to or an 
overview of a topic of relevance. They should be focused on principles, 
concepts and methods. Commercial or sales-oriented presentations are 
discouraged. Tutorials will be scheduled in parallel with the technical 
sessions of the main conference. Conference participants will have free 
access to all tutorials.

Tutorial proposals should be sent by email to 
caise2019tutorial at lists.ut.ee. Potential proposers are free to contact 
the tutorial chairs using this email address to validate their idea 
prior to the submission. The tutorial chairs will review each proposal 
and select a subset of them based on the following criteria: (1) 
relevance to the field of IS engineering; (2) anticipated appeal to the 
conference audience; (3) timeliness and importance vis-a-vis of the 
conference audience; (4) past experience and qualifications of the 
instructor(s). The tutorial chairs will also consider the 
complementarity of the proposal w.r.t. the conference program and other 
tutorial proposals.

The proposal (length up to 1500 words) should cover the following points:
- Goal and Objectives: The overall goal of the tutorial and the concrete 
objectives to be achieved.
- Scope: Intended audience, level (basic or advanced), and prerequisites.
- Topic relevance and novelty: Specifically indicate the relevance to 
the scope of CAiSE, the relevance to practice, the novel aspects that 
would make this tutorial beneficiary and appealing to CAiSE participants.
- Structure of Contents: Here you should provide a structured overview 
of your planned tutorial, organized into numbered sections and 
sub-sections. For each sub-section, you should sketch its contents in a 
few sentences or bullets.
- References: Provide references to papers, books, etc. your tutorial 
builds on. Please specify previous venues at which similar tutorials 
have been presented by you and indicate the difference between the 
proposed tutorial and previous ones. CAiSE usually does not accept 
tutorials that have been presented in other venues.

- Sample Slides: Include at least 5 sample slides of the presentation 
you plan to give if your tutorial is accepted. Select slides that are 
typical for your presentation style. These slides have to be submitted 
in a separate PDF file.
