TPDL2017 Call for Tutorials
International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries
18-21 September 2017
Grand Hotel Palace, Thessaloniki, Greece
http://www.tpdl.eu/tpdl2017

* Introduction *
Tutorial topics should have a direct relevance to the topics of the 
conference. Anticipated areas of interest at the time of TPDL2017 
include topics related to digital libraries, their foundations and 
methodologies, as well as their relevant applications and usages, 
including cross-disciplinary areas such as information retrieval, 
databases, information visualization, natural language processing, data 
mining and machine learning. We especially welcome tutorials bridging 
multiple areas, or presenting new perspectives in these areas, and 
tutorials with a practical hands-on approach that educate participants 
in using a specific methodology or technology after the tutorial.

The tutorials are part of the main conference. Therefore proposals will 
be considered for short tutorials of 1.5 hrs and 3 hrs. Tutorials may 
cover material either at an introductory level (introducing new areas of 
research or practice to attendees), or in depth (advancing the 
understanding of attendees with basic familiarity of the area). 
Tutorials may target researchers, practitioners, or the field as a whole.

* Proposal *
A tutorial proposal should include the following:
- Title of the tutorial
- Instructor(s) and their credentials (short CV, link to personal web page)
- Aims, scope and learning objectives of the tutorial
- Relevance to TPDL2017 and significance for the research field
- Full description (1-2 pages to be used for evaluation)
- Tutorial history (previous offerings of tutorial, if any)
- Format of tutorial (1.5 hrs or 3 hrs)
- Target audience (introductory, intermediate, advanced) and expected 
prerequisite knowledge of the audience
- Citations to publications covered by the tutorial

Tutorial proposals should be maximum four pages in length and they can 
be submitted in PDF format, according to the LNCS guidelines (please

via the conference submission system.

Upon submitting the tutorial proposal, the proposers commit that in case 
the tutorial is accepted, all lecturers will physically attend and 
present the tutorial.

conference between 18-21 September 2017.
