The quality of the conference is enhanced by the tutorials that we offer to the participants. A large number of high-level, cutting edge tutorial sessions are planned for this conference. Accordingly, technical leaders, both established and emerging, are invited to submit proposals for the tutorials that they would like to organize, give, and participate in. Please treat this invitation as personal and individual and also as a call to action to serve our larger engineering community.

The tutorials will be spaced in such a manner that significant audience will attend each session. The duration of the tutorial is expected to be around 3.5 hours. It is required that a hardcopy and a .pdf version of the transparencies and/or tutorial notes is submitted for distribution to participants of the tutorials. A token honorarium will be presented to the tutorial session organizers to recognize their outstanding efforts to serve their colleagues.

Procedure to submit a proposal for a tutorial session:

1. Please send a proposal to organize a tutorial session to:

(i) Tutorial Chair and Co-chair (yyt@ku.ac.th, soucek@ieee.org)
(ii) cc to the General Chair (chow@ncsu.edu)

2. The proposal should contain the following:

(ii) Organizer's name, address, phone number and email address
