Call for Tutorials

We invite proposals for half- and full-day tutorials to be held at the International World Wide Web (WWW) conference in Florence on May 18-19, 2015. The WWW 2015 Tutorial Program is intended to offer a rich diversity of high quality information valuable to conference attendees and local participants seeking to pick up new skills and the latest developments in an area. Proposed tutorials can address the interests of a varied audience: beginners, developers, designers, researchers, practitioners, users, lecturers and representatives of governments and funding agencies who wish to learn new technologies. We encourage submissions of tutorial proposals on all topics in the general areas of WWW 2015 and tutorials bridging these areas, or introducing new perspectives in these areas. Tutorials may provide an introduction to new Web technologies and trends, describing the application of the Web in specific domains or present techniques from other fields that are of relevance for the Web. Tutorials may be theoretical; however, we encourage the tutorial speakers to incorporate hands-on sessions and concrete examples when possible.
