RecSys 2014: CALL FOR TUTORIALS
===================================================

8th ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2014)

October 6-10, 2014, Foster City, Silicon Valley, USA
http://recsys.acm.org/recsys14/
Tutorial Submission Deadline: May 19th 2014

===============================================================

RecSys 2014 is pleased to invite proposals for tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. The goal of the tutorials is to provide the larger conference community an opportunity to learn about recommender system concepts and techniques and serve as a venue to share presenters’ expertise with the global community of recommender system researchers and practitioners.

Tutorials are 90 minute intensive instructional sessions focused on specific topics including, but not limited to:
	• Introductions to recommender systems or specific techniques
	• Methodologies for evaluating and measuring
	• Building and deploying recommender systems
	• Designing the user experience
	• Intersections of recommender systems with other domains
We actively encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit tutorial proposals.


Tutorial Chairs
	• Alexander Felfernig, Graz University of Technology, Austria
	• Bee-Chung Chen, LinkedIn, USA

Please submit tutorial proposals on or before May 19. We will inform the authors about the results of the review process on June, 9, and the camera-ready versions are due on July 24. All deadlines refer to 23:59 in the UTC time zone.
