Call For Tutorials

We are soliciting proposals for 4-hour tutorials. The tutorial contents can be selected from a wide range of topics, from processes and methods to practical techniques and guidelines. We encourage tutorials that reflect the conference theme and provide clear utility to conference participants.

All tutorials should indicate the intended audience and give an idea of prior knowledge expected.
