Sufficient details should be provided to  allow the evaluators to determine the scope and depth of the material to be covered. It should also indicate the structure of the tutorial in terms of show the time of 3 hours will be allocated to the material.

Tutorial proposals must also clearly identify the target audience and any prerequisite knowledge for attendees. A brief professional biography (no more than 3 sentences) should also be provided.
