PRE-CONFERENCE TUTORIAL SESSIONS:

Several half-day sessions will be offered on the day before the full conference. Sessions will be designed to meet the needs of one of two distinct groups. One group will consist of attendees who have backgrounds in computational science; computer science, engineering, and other mathematically oriented disciplines. Other tutorial sessions will be designed for behavioral and social scientists and others (e.g. those with medical backgrounds or training in public health) who may have limited formal education in the computational sciences. Attendees will gain an understanding of terminology, theories, and general approaches employed by computationally based fields, especially with respect to modeling approaches.

Tutorial proposal submission:

Tutorial proposals should be submitted online to sbpbrims@andrew.cmu.edu. At minimum, each proposal must contain the following information:
  • Title of the tutorial
  • Description of the tutorial topic and structure.
  • Expected audience (including the expected backgrounds of the attendees)
  • Short bio and contact information of the organizers

More details regarding the preconference tutorial sessions, including instructors, course content, and registration information will be posted as soon as this information becomes available. Follow us on Facebook, Twitterand LinkedIn to receive updates or contact sbpbrims@andrew.cmu.edu for further information.

Tutorial submissions are 1 page description of the tutorial. All tutorial submissions, if accepted, will be published online only in the online conference proceedings.
