Since a special focus of ICWE 2011 will be on "Web Data Engineering", it
would be great to have also one LOD-related tutorial next year.

ICWE 2011: CALL FOR TUTORIALS
11th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2011)
June 20-24, 2011, Paphos, Cyprus
http://icwe2011.webengineering.org/
Submission Deadline: February 14, 2011
-----------------------------
The International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE) aims at promoting
scientific and practical excellence on Web Engineering, and at bringing
together researchers and practitioners working in technologies,
methodologies, tools, and techniques used to develop and maintain
Web-based applications leading to better systems, and thus to enabling
and improving the dissemination and use of content and services through
the Web.
*** Call for Tutorials ***
ICWE 2011 invites proposals for tutorials that will provide conference
participants with the opportunity to gain knowledge and insights in a
broad range of Web Engineering areas. Participants at the tutorials
include scientists and practitioners, who are seeking to gain a better
understanding of the technologies, methodologies, tools, and techniques
used to develop and maintain Web-based applications.
Proposed tutorials can be either half-day long (3 hours) or full-day
long (6 hours). Tutorial proposals should address issues related to the
topics of the conference. Topics not mentioned in the topics of interest
list are also encouraged as long as they are of special relevance to
ICWE 2011.
Tutorial presenters will receive an honorarium depending on the number
of attendees and one free registration for ICWE 2011. The precise amount
of the honorarium will be determined after the early registration
deadline. This amount is per tutorial, not per speaker. Travel and
accommodation arrangements are up to the speakers.
Tutorials that have less than 8 early registrants will face the risk of
cancellation.
*** Submission instructions ***
Tutorial proposals must clearly identify the intended audience and its
assumed background. Proposals must be no more than 3 pages and must
provide a sense of both the scope of the tutorial and depth within the
scope. The intended length of the tutorial (3 or 6 hours) should also be
indicated, together with justification that a high-quality presentation
will be achieved within the chosen time frame. Proposals should also
include contact information and a brief bio of the presenters. If the
tutorial has been given previously, the proposal should include where
the tutorial has been given and how it will be modified for ICWE 2011.
In summary, tutorial proposals must include the following information:
* Tutorial title.
* Tutorial abstract: 1-2 paragraphs describing the goals and contents
of the tutorial (will be included in the conference registration materials).
* Intended Length: half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours).
* Description of the tutorial providing its scope (general topic area)
and depth, as well as its aims and learning outcomes.
* Intended audience and assumed background knowledge.
* Presenter(s) contact information: name, affiliation, email, mailing
address, phone, fax.
* Presenter(s) short biography demonstrating that she/he is an expert
on the subject of the tutorial (will be included in the conference

* Relevant references.
* Indication if the proposed tutorial has been given previously.
* Sample slides of the tutorial, if available.
Proposals must be in PDF format and submitted electronically to the
tutorial chairs (tutorials [at] icwe2011.webengineering.org) no later
than the submission deadline.
Presenters of accepted tutorials will be required to prepare a one-page
summary of the tutorial by the camera-ready copy deadline to be included
in the Springer LNCS main conference proceedings. Presenters should also
make the slides available to the ICWE 2011 participants, both in
