[ecoop-info] Final Call for Tutorials: INAUGURAL ECOOP SUMMER SCHOOL

[James Noble]

		    INAUGURAL ECOOP SUMMER SCHOOL
			  CALL FOR TUTORIALS
		  July 9 - 11, 2008, Paphos, Cyprus.

The ECOOP 2008 SUMMER SCHOOL will consist of prestigious tutorials on
exciting current topics in software, systems, and languages
research. The scope of the inaugural ECOOP Summer School is the same
as the conference itself: all areas relevant to object technology,
including work that takes inspiration from or builds connections to
areas not commonly considered object-oriented. Tutorials should
introduce researchers to current research in an area, and/or to show
important new tools that can be used in research.

The ECOOP 2008 Summer School will consist of two kinds of
tutorials. Most tutorials will be short tutorials. Short tutorials
will last 90 minutes, and will be free to all attendees, scheduled
during the main conference. ECOOP will also have limited number of
traditional longer tutorials, either half day or full day, which will
require an extra fee to attend.

Short tutorial presenters will receive a tutorial room, standard AV
equipment during a 90 minute session between 9-11 July 2008. Long
tutorial presenters will also receive a tutorial room, AV equipment,
and either a half day (3 hour) or full day (6 hour) room on 8 or 9
July 2008. All tutorial presenters must register themselves for
participation in ECOOP --- the inaugural summer school cannot in
general reimburse fees, but instead offers presenters a
once-in-a-lifetime chance to interest ECOOP attendees, graduate
students, and other researchers in your research area or tools (and
undying fame). Presenters of long tutorials may receive a contribution
to their registration fees after the conference, depending on the
attendance at their tutorials.

So, if you think ECOOP people need to know more about the area you
work in, or could benefit from the great new tool you have developed,
then you should propose an ECOOP summer school tutorial on this topic.

A tutorial proposal (2 pages in LNCS format) should contain the names
and email address of all presenters; the proposed topic to be covered
by the tutorial; the length of the tutorial (short, half-day,
full-day); a tutorial outline; and a rationale explaining why ECOOP
cannot be without your tutorial in 2008, and why you are the best
people in the world to present this tutorial!

Proposals should be submitted via the ECOOP submission system
(tutorials category).

For any other questions, contact the ECOOP 2008 tutorials chair,
James Noble, kjx at mcs.vuw.ac.nz.

Tutorial deadlines:
Tutorial proposal submission: February 10, 2007.
Notification of acceptance: March 10, 2008.
