[ecoop-info] Call for tutorials RCIS 2013 - Seventh IEEE International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science

[Sergio España]

Hello,

This is an invitation to submit proposals for tutorials at RCIS 2013.
Last edition we had very interesting and successful tutorials in Valencia; in 2013 we also expect engaging topics and high participant attendance.
Tutorial speakers get paid; participant attendance is included in conference registration :)
(See details below)

Best regards,

Sergio España

RCIS 2013 is a conference of RCIS Conference Series and is sponsored by IEEE French section.


SCOPE AND TOPICS
The Seventh International Conference on RESEARCH CHALLENGES IN INFORMATION SCIENCE (RCIS 2013) aims at providing an international forum for scientists, researchers, engineers and developers from a wide range of information science areas to exchange ideas and approaches in this evolving field. While presenting research findings and state-of-art solutions, you are especially invited to share experiences on new research challenges in these main topics:

	- Information System Engineering
	- Requirements Engineering
	- Database and Information System Integration
	- Data Management
	- Information Search and Discovery
	- Software Testing
	- Human-Computer Interaction
	- Web Information Systems
	- Grid Computing and Cloud Computing
	- Social Computing
	- User Centred Approaches
	- Decision Information Systems
	- Knowledge Management
	- Knowledge Discovery from Data
	- Business Process Analysis, Modelling and Design
	- Business Applications
	- Information Security Risk
	- Information and Value Management

Tutorials may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Target tutorials are tutorials with clear applicability to industry. Therefore, we encourage industry to send proposals to prepare a tutorial on a very innovative and practical subject.

This year, RCIS is being held in conjunction with the 31st French Conference on Information Systems (INFORSID 2013), a prominent French scientific event sharing with RCIS the interest on the field of Information Science. Any attendee of one conference will be entitled to attend the tutorials of the other.


INSTRUCTIONS FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
Tutorial proposals must be no more than 5 pages. The tutorial must be scheduled for 1h30 and must clearly include:

	1. A short bio of the presenter;
	2. A title;
	3. A short abstract;
	4. Scope;
	5. Background of the attendees;
	6. Which material will be provided to attendees;
	7. Timetable.

Tutorial submission: February 15th, 2013
Tutorial notification: March 18th, 2013

To submit the proposal, you can send it by email to:
	- Renata Guizzardi (Federal University of Esp?rito Santo, Brazil: rguizzardi at inf.ufes.br)
	- Corine Cauvet (Aix-Marseille University, France, corine.cauvet at lsis.org)

All authors of accepted tutorials will be asked to sign a contract and will also receive further instructions about how to prepare and submit the tutorial notes, the tutorial summary (for the website) and speaker biographies.

Tutorial speakers will receive a fix honorarium of 350 Euros per tutorial (i.e., multiple speakers must share the honorarium). Additionally, free registration for the conference will be offered to the main presenter (one speaker).

There is no special registration fee to attend the tutorials. They will be held in parallel to the sessions of the main conference.
