*Submission Procedure*

Tutorial proposals (4 pages maximum) should be submitted in PDF format
(single column, minimum 11 pt font size) and must include the following:


   - Title and Abstract, describing the main focus and topics to be
   addressed.

   2017.
   - Summary of tutorial content, indicating the topics that the tutorial
   will cover in more detail.
   - Intended audience, a description of the primary and secondary
   audiences interested in this tutorial topic, explaining how these audiences
   can benefit from the tutorial.
   - Novelty, highlighting the technical innovations presented in this
   tutorial that make it likely to attract a large audience.
   - Past tutorials, indicate if this tutorial or a closely related
   tutorial has been presented previously, please include the date(s),
   venue(s), and number of participants.
   - Biography of the Instructor, emphasizing the research and teaching
   experience and/or accomplishments related to the topic of the tutorial.
   - Logistics, describing the type of tutorial (lecture vs. hands-on), any
   requirements for the tutorial room, any requirements for participants
   (prerequisite knowledge or need to bring a laptop, etc.), and any capacity
   limitations.
   - Contact information of the Instructor, including institutional
   affiliation(s), address, telephone number, and email address.

Proposals must be submitted electronically to the DySPAN 2017 Tutorials
Track on EDAS, using the link

*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. Selection is also based on the
overall distribution of topics, expected attendance, and background of the
intended audiences. Thus, it might be that some tutorials of technical
merit cannot be accommodated.
