MILCOM 2010 solicits proposals for unclassified and classified (DoD Secret) half-day tutorials on state-of-the-art communications, networking, and other technologies looking toward the next decade of military communications. Tutorial proposals are unclassified and cannot contain classified, ITAR-sensitive, or otherwise-restricted information. Tutorial suggestions should be on engaging topics, expected to attract a reasonably wide audience (20+) and provide an excellent overview of the technical area with examples, learning events, and/or case studies.
Tutorial proposals should include a brief outline of the tutorial, instructor biography, and relevant instructor experience. The Tutorials Proposal Process below describes the submission process, required inputs, and the formatting guidelines for the tutorial material. If you have suggestions for a tutorial source or you have tutorial program-related questions, please contact the MILCOM 2010 Tutorials Program Chair, Dr. Mak King.
Tutorial proposals are to be submitted by 26 March 2010 via the EDAS Conference Manager System under either the Unclassified or Classified Tutorial Track following the same general procedure as for papers. The Tutorial Presenter inputs contact information in the same manner as the author of a paper. The Tutorial Proposal Template shown below describes precisely what information is required in the proposal.
For Unclassified Tutorial Proposals, the Title is entered in the appropriate box, with the proposer added as Author. The Tutorial Description is entered in the Paper Abstract box. The full Tutorial Proposal is uploaded as the "manuscript."
For proposed Tutorials addressing classified and/or ITAR-controlled topics, a Classified Tutorial Proposal is required. The preparer of the proposal and the anticipated tutorial presenter must be U.S. citizens and hold current DoD Secret clearances. For the Classified Tutorial Proposal, only the Title and proposer name (as Author) are entered into EDAS. Proposals (Titles, Descriptions, etc.) CANNOT contain classified, ITAR-sensitive, FOUO, or otherwise-restricted information. The full Tutorial Proposal along with the proposal ID number from EDAS is emailed to Dr. Mak King, MILCOM 2010 Tutorials Program Chair, by 26 March.
Once the tutorial proposals have been evaluated and the instructors selected for the MILCOM 2010 tutorial program, the MILCOM 2010 Tutorials Program Chair will notify these instructors by 23 April 2010.
Each instructor will be required to supply an updated one-page tutorial description (an extended abstract). For unclassified tutorials, this will be input via EDAS through modification of the Paper Abstract input. For classified tutorials, the input will be emailed to Dr. Mak King. Further information on the submission of tutorial instructional materials will be supplied at that time.
