Proposal Detail

Tutorial proposals may take the form of plain text, Postscript, PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, or some combination of these. They should address the following issues:

Basic information: Title, brief description, names and contact information for each tutor, the intended length. Three hours is preferable for the length of the tutorial proposal.
Audience: Who is the intended audience for the tutorial?
Interest: Why is this topic important/interesting to the Database community? Provide some informal evidence that people would attend. Evidence might include related workshops, conference sessions, papers, communities, etc.
Coverage: How deep/broad is the proposed tutorial? How valuable would the tutorial be with the given scope?
Background: What background will be required of the audience?

Enough materials should be included in the proposal to provide a sense of the scope and depth of the tutorial. The more details that can be provided, the better; up to and including actual overhead slides. The proposal should also include the biographical information of each tutor (including WWW address, if applicable). This information should describe the qualifications of each tutor with respect to the tutorial's topic. On the other hand, the tutors should not focus mainly on their own research results. A DASFAA tutorial is NOT a forum for promoting one's research or product. If, for certain parts of the tutorial, the material comes directly from the tutors' own research or product, please indicate this in the proposal.
