Guidelines for Tutorial Proposals
Proposals should not exceed 3 pages containing the following:
- Title
- Abstract (up to 150 words)
- Rationale: why do you believe this is an interesting and significant subject for the Distributed Computing Systems community at large? Is this tutorial or a similar one presented by the same or some authors in some other venues?
- Content details: an outline of the tutorial in the form of a bulleted list with references and estimates for the time that will be devoted to each subject (up to 1 page).

- Target audience and prerequisites (up to 100 words): from which areas do you expect potential participants to come? What prior knowledge, if any, do you expect from the audience? What will the participants learn? How many participants do you expect?
- Proposed length of the tutorial: please choose from 3 hours (half-day) and 6 hours (full day). If you are flexible, please indicate in the outline the content that will not be included if a short tutorial is given.
