10th ESWC 2013 -- Semantics and Big Data May 26-30, 2013.
Montpellier, France. http://2013.eswc-conferences.org/

==== Call for Tutorials ====

ESWC 2013 invites tutorials that address the interests of its
varied audience: people new to the Semantic Web, Semantic Web
researchers and practitioners that wish to learn new
technologies, users of Semantic Web technologies, and
representatives of government and funding agencies as well as
potential private investors in Semantic Web technologies. We
welcome submissions of tutorial proposals on all major topics
related to semantic technologies.

We especially solicit proposals for tutorials of the following
types:

- Tutorials with a coherent theme providing an introduction to
  new semantic technologies and trends.
- Tutorials describing the application of semantic technologies
  in specific domains (e.g., life-sciences, e-government,
  e-commerce etc.).
- Tutorials presenting techniques from other research fields that
  are of relevance for Semantic Web research especially in
  relationship to the tracks of the conference (e.g., techniques
  from social science, database techniques, NLP techniques etc.).

Tutorials can be half a day or a full day.

We advise having more than one presenter and no more than three,
preferably from different institutions, bringing different
perspectives to the workshop topic.

Tutorials may focus entirely on theoretical aspects; however, we
encourage organisers to incorporate hands-on sessions where
appropriate. The tutorials should reach a good balance between
the topic coverage and its relevance to the community.

Responsibilities
----------------
Organizers of accepted tutorials are responsible for preparing
and maintaining a Web site that describes the tutorial and
includes all relevant information. Organizers are also
responsible for submitting the material to be given to attendees
(slide sets, additional teaching material, software installation
and usage guides for practical hands-on sessions, etc.) to the
Tutorial Chair. The ESWC 2013 Organizing Committee is responsible
for providing publicity for the tutorials as part of the
conference publicity activities, and on-site logistical support
to the organizers and attendees.

General Information
-------------------
Organizers of workshops and tutorials will get a free
registration for workshop and tutorials, i.e. they will only have
to pay the main conference fees. Further, each workshop or
tutorial that attracts more than 15 registered participants
(excluding the organizers) will get one full registration for the
conference. This registration can be used for example to pay for
an invited speaker.

Submission details
------------------
Tutorial proposals should not exceed 5 pages, using an 11 pt font
for the body of the text of the proposal and should contain the
following information:

- Abstract (200 words maximum, for inclusion on the ESWC 2013
  website).

- Tutorial description: More specifically, it should specify the
  objectives of the tutorial and relevance to ESWC 2013, include
  enough details on the scope of the material to be covered and
  the depth to which it will be covered and specify the intended
  audience and any prerequisite knowledge. Appropriate references
  to the material to be covered by the tutorial must be included.

- Tutorial length. The tutorial can be full or half day (if the
  tutorial can be either length, please be sure to identify which
  material is included for each length).

- Specify other venues to which the tutorial or part thereof has
  or will be presented, in addition to explaining how the current
  tutorial differs from the other editions. Links to the slides
  of those tutorial editions should be included in the proposal.

- Brief professional biography of the presenter(s) indicating
  previous training and speaking experience (such as teaching and
  tutorial presentation).

Each proposal will be reviewed by the members of the tutorial
programme committee, and ranked based on the overall quality of
the proposal and the tutorial's fit to the conference. Their
recommendation will determine the final decision on the
acceptance/rejection of each proposal.
