Goal
The ICSE tutorial program provides conference participants with
the opportunity to gain new insights, knowledge, and skills in a broad
range of areas of software engineering. Participants at the tutorials
include software practitioners, managers, teachers, researchers, and
students seeking to gain a better understanding of software engineering.

Scope
We are soliciting proposals for full-day (6-hour) or half-day (3-hour)
tutorials. The tutorial contents can be selected from a wide range of
topics, from practical techniques, guidelines, standards, and surveys,
to theoretical issues. We encourage tutorials that reflect the
conference themes and provide clear utility to conference participants.
The topics are not limited to past ICSE tutorial offerings.
Proposals of tutorials conducted in Chinese are also welcome. Please contact
the Tutorials Chair for details.
Tutorials are intended to provide independent instruction on a topic of
relevance to software engineers. Therefore no commercial or sales-oriented
presentations will be accepted. Potential presenters should keep in mind
that there may be quite a varied audience, including novice graduate
students, seasoned practitioners, and specialised researchers. They should
be prepared to cope with this diversity unless they make clear that the
tutorial is oriented to a particular subgroup. Also bear in mind that
not everyone will have English as their first language. Thus, presenters
should provide comprehensive notes written in clear, standard English.
Idioms, irony, slang and culture-specific references should be avoided
as far as possible.
Review and Evaluation Criteria
The tutorials committee will review each proposal and will select quality
proposals that fit the evaluation criteria.
Each tutorial proposal will be evaluated on its anticipated benefit
for prospective participants and its fit within the tutorial program
as a whole. Factors to be considered also include: relevance, timeliness,
importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a
half- or full-day tutorial format; effectiveness of teaching methods;
and past experience and qualifications of the instructors.
Submission Structure
Your tutorial proposal must conform to the ICSE
2006 Format and Submission Guidelines and should not exceed ten pages.
Additionally,
the structure of the proposal must conform to the template (click here
for the template). Together
with the proposal, three sample slides from
the intended tutorial presentation must be submitted. The proposal
as well as the sample slides must be submitted in PDF, with all fonts
included. Proposals not conforming to these instructions will not
be considered.
Acceptance
Each accepted tutorial will have two pages for a summary in the conference
proceedings. This summary must conform to the ICSE
2006 Format and Submission Guidelines. Tutorial presenters will have to sign a contract with the ICSE
organizing committee, regulating her/his duties and the rules of reimbursement.
Reimbursement
