About Tutorials

  • A Tutorial is a mini short course/workshop. It is a teaching process. Some tutorial speakers actually bring equipment to the meeting, so the participants get hands-on instruction.
  • Tutorials are scheduled in one and one-half hour blocks, with 30 to 45 minutes of the time devoted to questions and answers.
  • Tutorials are presented twice and are published in the symposium Proceedings.
