CALL FOR TUTORIALS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 10th International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference (ICGI 2010)
Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held in conjunction
with the conference. Tutorials are an effective way to educate and/or provide
the necessary background to the intended audience enabling them to understand
technical advances or introducing them in the grammatical inference research
area.
For ICGI 2010, we are seeking proposals for tutorials on all topics related to
grammaticalinference. A tutorial may be a theme-oriented comprehensive survey,
discuss novel grammatical inference techniques or may center around successful
application of grammatical inference in important application areas (e.g.
bioinformatics, machine translation, natural language processing, pattern
recognition, etc.). The ideal tutorial should attract a wide audience.
It should be broad enough to provide a gentle introduction to the chosen topic,
but it should also cover the most important contributions in depth. Proposals
that exclusively focus on the presenter's own work are not eligible.
The typical tutorial will be 2 hrs long (longer tutorials will be considered).
Proposals should be submitted electronically in PDF format by December 20, 2009

Proposals should include the following:
* Basic information:
Title, brief description, name and contact information for the lecturer,
length of the proposed tutorial. If the intended tutorial is expected to
take longer than 2 hours a rationale is expected. Also identify any
other
venues in which the tutorial has been or will be presented.
* Audience: Proposals must clearly identify the intended audience for the
tutorial (e.g., novice, intermediate, expert).
- What background will be required of the audience?
- Why is this topic important/interesting to the GI community?
- What is the benefit to participants?
* Bios: Provide brief biographical information (including qualifications
with respect to the tutorial's topic).
It is expected that selected lecturers will produce a report with the main
contents of the tutorial. All the lectures will be published in a book which
will be distributed among the attendants to the ICGI 2010 Tutorial Day.
