Call for TUTORIALS
The PPSN 2018 Organising Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be
held in conjunction with PPSN 2018. The tutorial topic should enjoy broad
interest within the community. It can be an established or emerging
research topic within the field itself, but also from a related research
field or about an interesting application area. The proposed topic should
be broad enough to provide a gentle introduction to the research area, but
it should also cover the most important contributions in depth. The
planned duration of the tutorials is 90 minutes.
Submission Details
Prospective tutorial organisers are invited to submit a plain-text
tutorial proposal by email to:

Call for WORKSHOPS
The PPSN 2018 Organising Committee invites proposals for workshops to be
held in conjunction with PPSN 2018. The workshops are intended to be
forums for presenting and discussing, for example, new emerging approaches
or critical reflections within a subfield. They provide an excellent
opportunity to meet people with similar interests, to be exposed to
cutting-edge research and to exchange ideas in an informal setting. The
organisers of an accepted workshop are responsible for its coordination,
publicity (e.g., for sending out call for papers/abstracts), collecting
and reviewing the papers/abstracts, and maintaining a webpage providing a
list of accepted talks. Moreover, organisers can decide between half-day
and full-day workshops. The workshop format is also up to the organisers.
However, we encourage to facilitate interactive sessions. We suggest to
solicit concept papers or abstracts of not more than a few pages' length,
instead of full papers.
