Call for tutorials
==================
The Eurographics 2018 Tutorials Committee invites you to propose tutorials
teaching the technical background of a given subject, or demonstrating its
potential creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be
done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can
be used to do it. In a proposal for a tutorial you should consider that
tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and
development to education and application.
We are soliciting half-day and full-day tutorial proposals at the beginning,
intermediate, or advanced level in all areas pertinent to Computer Graphics.
Half-day tutorials are about three hours, plus a coffee break in the middle.
Full-day tutorials are twice that long, plus two coffee breaks and a longer
lunch break. Full-day tutorials should be motivated by sufficient scientific
material. Tutorial proposals are about 4-5 pages in length, clearly
indicating the audience that is addressed as well as the syllabus of
instruction. They will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs, supported by
external reviewers. The final selection will be based on quality of the
submission, qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference
topics, and balance of topics.
Accepted tutorials will be distributed on the conference's USB stick and
also will be included in the Eurographics digital library. Eurographics does
not require a copyright for the tutorial notes it publishes. The tutorial
speakers may reuse their material freely. For each accepted tutorial, a free
registration is provided for one author/presenter of that tutorial.
For any questions concerning tutorial submissions please contact the
tutorial co-chairs: chairs-eg2018tut(a)eg.org
For additional details, see
