IEEE CCNC 2012
Call for Tutorial Proposals

INTRODUCTION

The IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, sponsored by
IEEE Communications Society, is a major annual international conference
organized with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers,
and practitioners from academia and industry working in all areas of
consumer communications and networking. High-quality tutorials are an asset
to every conference and will, therefore, also be part of the program of IEEE
CCNC 2012. They complement research reports of the technical sessions by
providing participants with broad and comprehensive overviews of emerging
fields. There are six half-day tutorials planned for CCNC 2012. Each
conference participant will be entitled to attend one tutorial free of
charge. Tutorial presenters will be offered a modest honorarium and receive
a complimentary one-day registration to the conference.

AREAS OF INTEREST

The areas of interest for tutorials are the same as for the wider IEEE CCNC
2012 conference (see http://www.ieee-ccnc.org for a detailed list):

 *   Wireless Consumer Communications and Networking
 *   Smart Spaces and Personal Area Networks
 *   ?Multimedia & Entertainment Networking and Services
 *   Peer-to-Peer Networking and Content Distribution
 *   Emerging and Innovative Consumer Technologies and Applications
 *   Security and Content Protection

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Proposals should be prepared using the proposal form at this link:
http://cms.comsoc.org/SiteGen/Uploads/Public/CCNC2012TutorialProposalForm.pdf,
and could be submitted by email to the tutorial chairs:

R Venkatesha Prasad, rvprasad at ieee.org
Oliver Holland, oliver.holland at kcl.ac.uk

The preferred format is PDF, but proposals in the form of plain text, or
Microsoft Word will also be accepted.

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 and qualifications of the instructors. Selection
is also based on the overall distribution of topics, expected attendance,
and specialties of the intended audiences. Thus, not all tutorials of
technical merit may be accommodated.

The information you provide will also be used to advertise your tutorial.
 The more descriptive information you share about your tutorial and its
intended audience, the more likely it is to receive a favorable response
from conference participants.

We encourage tutorial presenters to interact with the audience as much as
possible, and to explain the relation between theory and real-world
application, for instance by making use of a demonstrator. If the tutorial
proposer intends to do so, this should be mentioned explicitly in the
proposal, and we encourage the author to submit a demonstration proposal as
well.
