We solicit proposals for tutorials for presentation at the EDBT Conference to be held in Edinburgh, UK. Proposals must provide an in-depth survey of the selected topic with the option of describing specific works in depth. Proposals should include a meaningful summary of open issues in the area. The topic of the tutorial should be broad enough to attract a significant audience and must include enough details to provide a sense of both the scope of the material to be covered and the depth to which it will be covered.
Starting this year, EDBT tutorials will be archived on EDBT Learning Center website, which will include both a video recording of the tutorial, as well as an archival proceedings entry. Details on the new requirements can be found in the submission guidelines.
Tutorial proposals should be submitted by email, as a single PDF file to the Tutorial Chairs, Amélie Marian and Paolo Papotti (edbt2022tutorials@gmail.com). The submission should not be more than 4 (four) pages long and papers should be formatted according to the ACM Proceedings Format without any change in terms of fonts, margins, inter-column spacing, style, footers, etc. The template can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/EDBT2021/Template. The conference is single-blind, which means that the authors should include their names and affiliations. Any submitted paper violating the length, file type, or formatting requirements will be desk rejected.
Starting from this edition, there are two important changes to the process of selecting and implementing the tutorial program.
1. The video recording of the tutorial will become available after the conference. If the authors provide a pre-recorded video, no further action is needed. If a pre-recorded video is not submitted, tutorials will be recorded during the conference.
2. Selected tutorials will be archived as an article in the conference proceedings. Different from the tutorial proposal, which typically included information about the timing, the structure, the intended audience, and the style of delivery, the short article (4 pages) is expected to summarize the tutorial and be of educational nature, providing an introduction to the presented topic and highlights of the main works. Details on the formatting of the tutorial articles will be provided to the authors of tutorials selected for presentation at EDBT 2022 at a later date.
