> INTRODUCTION *
> The AAMAS-2007 Organising Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial
> Program, to be held immediately before to the technical conference (May,
> 14-15). Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:
>
> * Introdjor topics of AAMAS research.
> * Provide instruction in established practices and methodologies.
> * Survey a mature area of AAMAS research and/or practice.
> * Motivate and explain an AAMAS topic of emerging importance.
> * Introduce expert non-specialists to an AAMAS subarea.
> * Survey an area of agent research especially relevant for people
> from industry
>
>
> * SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS*
> Proposals should be from two to four pages in length, and should contain
> the following information:
>
> * A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the
> conference registration brochure.
> * A detailed outline of the tutorial, including preferred length
> (1/2 or 1 day, corresponding respectively to 4 and 8 hours).
> * Characterization of the potential target audience for the
> tutorial, including previous background knowledge.
> * A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a
> substantial part of the AAMAS audience.
> * A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include name,
> postal address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address, background
> in the tutorial area, any available example of work in the area
> (ideally, a published tutorial-level article on the subject),
> evidence of teaching experience (including references that address
> the proposer's presentation ability), and evidence of scholarship
> in the area.
> * The name and e-mail address of the corresponding presenter. The
> corresponding presenter should be available for e-mail
> correspondence during the evaluation process, in the case
> clarifications and discussions on the scope and content of the
> proposal are needed.
>
> The evaluation of the proposal will take into account its general
> interest for AAMAS attendees (e.g., a tutorial on object-oriented
> inheritance will be unlikely to be accepted), the quality of the
> proposal (e.g., a tutorial that simply lists a set of concepts without
> any apparent rationale behind them will be judged badly) as well as the
> expertise and teaching abilities of the presenters. We emphasize that
> the primary criteria for evaluation will be whether a proposal is
> interesting, well-structured, and motivated, rather than the perceived
> experience/standing of the proposer.
> Those submitting a proposal should keep in mind that tutorials are
> intended to provide an overview of the field; they should present
> reasonably well established information in a balanced way. Tutorials
> should not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should
> they promote a product.
> All proposals should be submitted by e-mail to the Tutorial Chair, Jaime
> Simão Sichman (jaime.sichman@poli.usp.br), in plain ASCII text, no later
> than
> * November 3, 2006*.
> Applicants will be notified of the committee's decision no later than*
> December 1, 2006 *.
> The selection of the tutorials to be included in the final AAMAS program
> will be based upon a number of factors, including: the
> scientific/technical interest of the topics, the quality of the
> proposal, the need to avoid strictly overlapping tutorials, and the
> unavoidable need to limit the overall number of selected tutorials.
> *
> RESPONSIBILITIES OF AAMAS AND OF TUTORIAL ORGANIZERS *
> For all accepted proposals, AAMAS will be responsible for:
>
> * Providing logistic support and a meeting place for the tutorial.
> * Together with the organizers, determining the tutorial date and
> time.
> * Duplicating tutorial material and distributing them to the
> participants.
>
> Tutorial organizers will be responsible for the following:
>
> * Providing AAMAS with a legible PDF copy of their tutorial notes in
> due time (deadline: February 2, 2007)
> * Presenting the tutorial at AAMAS-07
>
> AAMAS reserves the right to cancel any tutorial if the above
> responsibilities are not fulfilled, if deadlines are missed or if too
> few attendees register for the tutorial to support the costs of running
> the tutorial.
> It is suggested that potential tutorial proposers contact the Tutorial
> Chair in advance if they have any questions or queries.
> *
