Tutorials are intended to provide independent instruction (know-how) on a topic of relevance for the RCIS academic
and practitioner community, which includes seasoned practitioners, specialised researchers, and novice graduate
students. Tutorials are organised in sessions of 90 minutes with a free format and will run in parallel with other
conference tracks. Participation in the tutorials is included in the attendees’ conference fee. The conference
proceedings will publish a two-page summary of the tutorial.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, tutorials on key research and practice areas within Information
Science. Example areas include Information Systems and their Engineering, Enterprise Management and Engineering,
advanced topics in Data Science (including Machine-Learning and Generative AI Applications), and the deployment of
modern Information Infrastructures such as Cloud and Edge Computing. We also highly welcome submissions focused on
emerging areas like Sustainability and Agentic AI and Autonomous Systems
Tutorial proposals are limited to 5 pages. They must include the following elements:
- Title.
- 150-word abstract.
- The expected background of the attendees.
- Learning objectives of the tutorial.
- Structure of contents or activities, with a description of how these support the learning
objectives, and teaching methods used. Please also include a timetable indicating how the
interaction with the audience will develop during the tutorial.
- Support materials. A concise description of the tutorial material(s), particularly (i) materials you
would like to share prior to the conference, (ii) special requirements or equipment for the
delivery of the tutorial (subject to organisers’ approval), (iii) materials to be provided to
attendees during the tutorial.
- Added value of the tutorial for the attendees.
- A short bio of the presenter(s).
- A history of the tutorial. Whether this tutorial (or any derived version of it) has already been
delivered in other conferences? If so, detail where and when, and how it was received. Proven
track record has to be balanced with the innovative aspect of the tutorial.
Teaching and learning guidelines
- Creative techniques for teaching and learning. Any teaching approach that ensures active interaction would be
greatly appreciated by the RCIS audience. We encourage you to craft a tutorial that can enjoyably deliver
high-quality content.
- Printed or online takeaway material for attendees. For example, templates, checklists, frameworks, etc. that
attendees can employ in their own working environments.
- A 1- or 2-minutes video (optional) of the speakers, or a few example slides, teasing their tutorial.
Please note that all RCIS 2025 tutorials will be held in person.
The authors of accepted tutorials will be asked to submit a 2-page summary of the tutorial using the
Springer LNCS/LNBIP conference proceedings template.
Evaluation criteria include the quality of the proposal, the tutorial’s anticipated benefit for prospective
participants, its fit within the program as a whole, and the qualification and experience of the presenters.
A free registration for the conference will be offered to the main presenter (i.e., to one speaker), unless they
are the only paying author of a paper presented at the conference.
