RecSys 2015: CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
===================================================

9th ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2015)

September 16-20, 2015, Vienna, Austria
http://recsys.acm.org/recsys15/

Submission Deadline: May 17, 2015
==================================================

RecSys 2015 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 and 
application domains
- Methodologies for evaluating and measuring the system performance
- Building and deploying recommender systems
- Designing the user experience
- Supporting the user decision making process
- Intersections of recommender systems with other domains (e.g., 
information retrieval, machine learning, human computer interaction)

We actively encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to 
submit tutorial proposals.

===============================
PROPOSAL FORMAT AND SUBMISSION
===============================
The tutorial proposal should be a PDF document no more than 2 pages 
long, submitted by e-mail to tutorials2015 at recsys.acm.org and organized 
as follows:

listed instructor should present at the conference.
