**********************************************************************

We invite proposals for half- or full-day tutorials to be given at the
fifth International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS 2008)
held in Kanazawa, Japan.

Tutorials are intended to provide in-depth learning experiences on a 
specific topic of interest to the participants. Topics should be
highly relevant to the community and should be taught by experts in
the field.



Important Dates
---------------
For tutorial proposal:
Submission Deadline: December 1, 2007
Acceptance Notification: February 6, 2008

Tutorials given: To be announced



Proposal Content
----------------

We solicit tutorials in all areas related to networked sensing
systems. In particular, we would like to encourage proposals for
tutorials that offer a solid introduction for researchers new to the
field of networked sensing systems. We welcome proposals from
multiple organizers, especially combining both industry and academia
experts. Tutorial speakers are expected to have a strong and proven
publishing record relating to their proposed tutorial topic. Prior
tutorial experience is benefical. All proposals should be submitted by
electronic mail to the tutorial chair Hideyuki Kawashima (see email
below) in plain text or pdf format. The recommended length of the
tutorial proposal is 2-3 pages, and should include:

    * title of the tutorial
    * duration (full- or half-day)
    * speaker(s) contact information (full name, affiliation, email,
      web)
    * speaker(s) profile (demonstrating qualifications to give this
      tutorial, i.e., showing both technical proficiency as well as
      teaching/presentation experience)
    * abstract (concise description of contents, goals, max 150 words)
    * outline (i.e., summary of material to be covered)
    * expected audience (who should participate, how will they
      benefit?)
    * level (introductory or advanced) and required experience for
      participants
    * tutorial history (has this been given before? where? how many
      participants?)
    * equipment (what material do you need, what do participants need to
      bring?)
