Call for Tutorials

IFIP Networking 2011 sponsored by IFIP Technical Committee on Communication Systems (TC6), is a major annual international conference organized with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry working in the broad and fast-evolving field of telecommunications and networking.

High-quality tutorials are an asset to every conference and will, therefore, also be part of the program of IFIP Networking 2011. Tutorials will complement keynote reports and research topics of the technical sessions by providing participants with broad and comprehensive overviews of emerging fields.

There are six half-day tutorials initially planned for Networking 2011. Tutorials will be offered to all the participants at a reduced prize. Tutorial presenters will be offered a modest honorarium and receive a complimentary one-full registration to the conference.

REVIEW PROCESS

Tutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their estimated benefit for prospective participants and on their fit within the tutorials program as a whole. Factors to be considered include: relevance, timeliness, importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half-day format; and past experience and qualifications of the instructors. Selection is also based on the overall distribution of topics, expected attendance, and specialties of the intended audiences. Thus, not all tutorials of technical merit may be accommodated.

The information you provide will also be used to advertise your tutorial. The more descriptive information you share about your tutorial and its intended audience, the more likely it is to receive a favorable response from conference participants.
