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.
