DETAILED INFORMATION
GOAL AND SCOPE
The goal of the tutorial program of DEBS 2008 is to provide independent instruction on topics related to event-based computing. We are planning for quarter-day (approx. 1.5 hours without a break) and half-day (approx. 3.0 hours with one 30 minutes break) durations. A tutorial may cover a wide scope of topics ranging from practical techniques and guidelines over standards to theoretical work. Please note that no marketing or product specific tutorials will be accepted. Tutorial levels may be introductory, intermediate, or advanced. Topics of broad interest are preferred.
REVIEW PROCESS
Tutorial proposals are evaluated by the tutorial committee according to their relevance to the DEBS community and how they fit into the overall tutorial program. Further factors that may affect the review are the repudiation and previous teaching experience of the proposer as well as the attractivity of the proposed topic.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Tutorial proposals must not be longer than three pages. A proposal should include:
* Title of the tutorial
* Preferred and potential duration(s) (quarter-day, half-day)
* Contact information of all presenters (name, affiliation, email address, full postal address, phone and fax number, URL of personal homepage)
* Short bio of all presenters including prior teaching and tutorial experiences
* Description of the material covered by the tutorial not exceeding two pages (approx. 1500 words) including a structure of the presented content
* Identification of the target audience (e.g., researchers, teachers, practitioners, students)
* Level (introductionary, advanced) and required prerequisites
* References of publications (books, papers etc.) the tutorial builds on
* Indication whether the submission of a tutorial paper (see below) is planned
The proposals should be submitted as PDF document via email to the tutorial chair, Gero Muehl (gmuehl@cs.tu-berlin.de).
ACCEPTED PROPOSALS
Proposers of accepted tutorials is given the opportunity to submit a tutorial paper. The content of a tutorial paper must directly relate to the material covered by the tutorial and must not exceed 12 pages. The required format for the submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings Style. The author kit containing templates for the required style can be found at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
Submitted tutorial papers will be checked by the tutorial committee prior publication. The tutorial committee has the right to refuse the publication of tutorial papers if, for example, the technical quality of the paper is insufficient or the content of the paper does not match the content of the tutorial. Tutorial papers will be published in the conference proceedings as part of the ACM International Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the ACM Digital Library.
