Call for Tutorials

We invite proposals for half and full-day tutorials to be held at eScience 2019 on September 24, 2019. The eScience 2019 Tutorial Program is intended to disseminate information to conference attendees on recently emerging topics and trends in eScience, provide surveys and overviews of related digital technologies, and teach new and/or state-of-the art tools and techniques relevant to the eScience audience. We encourage submissions that fall in the area of the conference, and specially those that have a practical (hands-on) part that help attendees on learning the new technologies presented in the tutorial.

Please send any inquiries to escience2019-tutorials@sdsc.edu

eScience 2019 Tutorials Program Co-Chairs: Rosa M Badia, BSC and Robert Sinkovits, SDSC
