TUTORIALS
The INCOM2018 conference will host tutorials that focus on new research directions, initiatives and methodologies. The tutorials will be free of charge for the attendees to the conference and to the doctoral workshops.
The call for tutorials is open: all active researchers and experienced tutors are invited to send their proposal for tutorials. Ideally, a tutorial will cover a specific aspect that could help researchers stimulate and facilitate their future research work on the topics of the INCOM2018 conference. Examples of possible aspects to be covered are: state-of-the-art on specific technologies, research methodologies, research initiatives and funding opportunities, interdisciplinary applications of concepts and approaches, use of software tools.
Tutorials that are specifically targeted to PhD student audiences are particularly encouraged.
