This document tells you how to submit tutorial proposals for the conference. Please read this entire document before preparing your submission. Note in particular the preference given to tutorial authors who will prepare their notes for formal publication in book form.
To submit a proposal for a tutorial, please edit the tutorial submission template, an HTML document, by Monday February 19, 1996. The template consists of a number of sections, each with a heading and a body. Please include the full text of the response in the submission form itself, not in web links. Links may be used to provide complementary information. The comments under each heading describe the information needed under it. There is also an example filled-in template.
Please mail the completed template to www5-tutorial@inria.fr, one e-mail message per proposal.
We look forward to receiving your proposals.
The tutorial notes should cover all the material covered in the presentation and any additional useful information, including historical notes, detailed technical discussion, pointers to reference documents, contact information for persons or organizations involved in the subject, bibliography, etc. If there are last-minute additions to the presentation, please provide supplementary notes on the Web. Tutorial notes should be usable as reference material, and should not simply be copies of slides. One good format is a page consisting of a reduced-size slide at the top, and a few paragraphs of explanation for each slide. It is even better if it is accompanied by an article. Notes must be submitted both in clean camera-ready and in editable on-line format.
Tutorials are traditionally a half day long (3 hours of presentation), but we will consider proposals for full day (6 hours) and quarter day (1 hour 30 mn) tutorials as well. In particular, we believe that many of the more specialized draft proposals we have received would work best in the quarter-day format.
Tutorial authors are responsible for making the oral presentation, creating all necessary ancillary presentation materials (slides, videos, etc.), and writing a full set of tutorial notes. Authors transfer non-exclusive publication rights to all these materials to the WWW Conference organization. Tutorial presenters receive an honorarium, airfare, and free registration (practical details later).
Tutorial presenters are in an excellent position to contribute to this book. Moreover, the book will become valuable reference material for future tutorials. The first volume of the book derived from WWW4-Boston tutorials should be available for WWW5-Paris. We strongly encourage WWW5 tutorial presenters to contribute to the following volume of the book; tutorial proposals which include solid book chapter proposals will be given preference over those which do not. However, we reserve the right to solicit the book chapter from someone other than the tutorial presenter.
The book will be professionally edited and produced, and authors will work with the editors to produce a high-quality result. Chapter authors will receive a share of the book's royalties.
