Call for Tutorial Proposals

Call for Tutorial Proposals

Tutorials at CODS-COMAD offer a platform to showcase state-of-the-art tools and technologies to support research, development and applications of data systems, data science, data management and platforms, data-driven applications, ethics of data science etc. We solicit tutorial proposals on all topics of interest to the CODS-COMAD conference.

Tutorial proposals should include details as described below and fit within a 4-page limit and (unlimited) references. Accepted tutorials will appear in the proceedings of the conference, which will be published in ACM Digital Library. Tutorial presentations will be a part of the parallel technical track at the conference.

The conference is planned as an in-person event with no virtual participation option. Hence, virtual presentations are not allowed.

Submission Details

To evaluate your proposal we are looking for the following information as part of your submission:

  • Title & Abstract (up to 250 words): These will be used to publicise the tutorial.
  • Duration of Tutorial: The tutorial can be 1.5 hours or 3 hours. We encourage you to include hands-on coding sessions during the tutorials, especially for the 3 hours long tutorials.
  • Description & Outline: Provide a brief description of the planned materials in the tutorial and their depth along with a rough outline of the tutorial.
  • Details of the previous tutorials (If any): If the tutorial was presented earlier, provide the details, including web links if any.
  • Goals: What are the objectives of the tutorial? What is the benefit to attendees? Why is this tutorial important to include at CODS-COMAD?
  • Target Audience: What is the target audience? What background should attendees have? It would be a plus if you can articulate the prerequisites for the audience, e.g., “Understand derivatives and integrals as found in introductory Calculus”, “Understand ‘classical’ supervised methods such as decision trees and Naïve Bayes”
  • Proposers: Please provide names, affiliations, email addresses, and short bios for each proposer of the tutorial. Bios should cover the proposer’s expertise related to the topic of the tutorial. If there are multiple proposers, please give details about the distribution of the tutorial among them.
  • Presenters: Which of the proposers will be available to present the tutorial in-person? It is strongly encouraged that all proposers attend and present the tutorial in-person, but at least one is needed. No change in tutorial presenters will be allowed after the acceptance of the tutorial.
  • References: A list of the most important references that will be covered.
