************************************************ 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@eipcm.org mailto:tutorials.sca2013@eipcm.org) no later than May 15, 2013.

************************************************ Evaluation Criteria
The proposals will be evaluated based on: * the relevance of the topic and its potential interest to the conference community, * the suitability of the selected tutorial format, * the expertise of the instructors in the topic area, and * the overall quality of the proposal.
