TUTORIAL SUBMISSION

ISC 2027 Tutorial Chair Alexander Heinlein

TUTORIAL CHAIR

Alexander Heinlein, TU Delft, The Netherlands

Deputy Tutorial Chair

Carola Kruse, CERFACS, France

We invite practitioners in the fields of high performance computing, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing to submit proposals for interactive tutorials covering the ISC Topic Areas.

Tutorials should include a substantial hands-on component, allowing attendees to work through prepared materials and solve specific problems. Attendees should leave with a clear understanding of the topic and practical skills they can apply.

NEW: Two-Stage Submission Process

For ISC 2027, we are introducing a two-stage submission process to reduce the initial preparation effort for submitters and further improve the quality and relevance of the tutorial program.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submission guidelines will be available soon. Please check back regularly for updates.

Submitters initially provide only a short proposal through the online submission form. Pre-proposals will be reviewed to identify promising tutorial concepts. Acceptance of a pre-proposal does not guarantee final acceptance of the tutorial.

  • Stage 1: Pre-Proposal
    • Title of the tutorial
    • Tutorial presenter information
    • Abstract (maximum words: 250) together with the relevant topics
    • Targeted audience
    • Content level split as general, beginner/intermediate or intermediate/advanced
    • Duration
    • Planned proportions of demonstrations and hands-on activities
    • Attendance number of previous edition, if applicable
  •  Stage 2: Full Submission: Only submitters whose pre-proposals are accepted will be invited to submit a full proposal.
    • Detailed PDF description of the tutorial (detailed submission requirements and templates will be published soon)
    • Estimated number of attendees (with a short explanation, if applicable)
    • Links to sample slides and supporting materials
    • Resume or CV of each presenter, including a list of recently taught courses or tutorials (2 pages maximum per presenter)

Feedback from the pre-proposal review will help submitters develop their full proposals and align the tutorial content with participant expectations.

  • Pre-proposals will be assessed for topic relevance, community interest, clarity of the tutorial concept, suitability for the intended audience, and planned hands-on activities.
  • Each full tutorial proposal will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Review criteria include originality, significance, timeliness, impact, community interest, previous attendance where applicable, quality, hands-on activities, and clarity.
  • Reviews will include actionable feedback related to the length of the tutorials and the organization of the content (for example, suggestions to add and remove some content).
  • The tutorial committee aims to offer a broad range of topics and interactive learning experiences with substantial hands-on components.
  • Final acceptance notifications will include the assigned tutorial duration and time slot. The committee reserves the right to assign a shepherd to some accepted tutorials to help presenters meet the program’s quality standards.
