Call for Tutorials
==================

-----------------------------------------------------
CIKM 2015 (19-23 October, 2015, Melbourne, Australia)
http://www.cikm-2015.org/
-----------------------------------------------------


CIKM 2015 solicits submissions of tutorial proposals on all topics about
information and knowledge management. Tutorials on the current topics of
interests as found in the CIKM 2015 Call for Papers are especially encouraged,
but tutorials on other topics are also considered.

Proposals will be considered for half-day and full-day tutorials. Each tutorial
should cover a single topic in detail. Tutorials should present the state of the
art about a frontier topic, enabling attendees to fully appreciate the current
issues, main schools of thought and possible application areas.
