SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The preferred format is PDF, but proposals in the form of plain text, Microsoft Word, or Postscript will also be accepted.

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.

Proposals must be submitted electronically via https://moo.cmcl.cs.cmu.edu/dyspan12tutorials/. Please use the specified template that can be found here in PDF and DOC formats.
