About Tutorials

EICS 2026 invites proposals for tutorials on the engineering of 
interactive computing systems. Tutorials are intended to provide a broad 
and in-depth overview of a topic beyond a regular paper presentation, to 
inform and train participants in new or emerging approaches, or to 
expand on techniques, methods, and processes that improve how complex 
interactive systems can be built.

Tutorials should be designed for a diverse audience, including PhD 
students, experienced practitioners, and specialised researchers. Each 
proposal will be evaluated based on its anticipated benefit for 
participants, its fit within the overall tutorial program, relevance to 
research and practice, timeliness, importance, audience appeal, and the 
instructors’ expertise and experience.

EICS aims to stimulate and support the creation of reusable tutorial 
materials and to provide a platform for presenters to distribute 
instructional content that can be cited and reused by the community. 
Depending on circumstances, tutorials may need to be delivered online; 
presenters should take this possibility into account when preparing 
their proposals.

Tutorial Submissions

Tutorials will be assigned time slots ranging from a minimum of 1 hour 
to a maximum of 3 hours. Proposals requesting longer durations should 
clearly motivate the need for additional time.

Each tutorial proposal must include:
- A description (maximum two pages, including text and figures) of the 
proposed tutorial
- A separate PDF file containing sample material that would be presented 
if the tutorial is accepted
- Background information on the presenters

The proposal description should include the following information:
- Title and abstract: A clear title and abstract that allow attendees to 
quickly understand the tutorial’s subject
- Aim and objectives: The overall aim of the tutorial and the concrete 
learning outcomes for participants, including its relevance to the EICS 
community
- Target audience: Intended audience level (basic or advanced) and any 
prerequisites
- Basic structure: Intended duration and planned structure (e.g., 
sequence of topics)
- Operational requirements: Any requirements beyond a standard PC 
projector (e.g., audio equipment)
- References: Key papers, books, or other materials the tutorial builds upon

Tutorial submissions will be selected by the Tutorial Chairs, possibly 
with additional reviewers. Authors will receive light feedback on their 
proposals.

Format and Submission Guidelines

Tutorial submissions must follow the ACM TAPS process and use the 
official single-column template. Authors must not use the old 
double-column format. Must be submitted via: 
https://new.precisionconference.com

Use of Generative AI in Manuscript Preparation

Authors must comply with ACM’s policy on the use of Generative AI in 
authoring papers, available at:
https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/frequently-asked-questions

All submissions will be evaluated according to this policy. Papers that 
breach these guidelines risk desk rejection.

Citation Guidelines

Authors are kindly requested to ensure that references report the 
correct publication format to facilitate citation indexing, particularly 
for conferences publishing in journal proceedings such as PACM. Please 
avoid informal conference-style citations when a PACM reference is 
available.
