The 8th CCSC Southwest Region Conference March 27-28, 2015

Faculty are invited to submit a proposal for a panel or tutorial on a topic both related to computing sciences and likely to be of interest to attendees. These will be reviewed, although it will not be a blind review.

Accepted abstracts will be published in The Journal of Computing Science in Colleges.

In a panel session 3 or 4 experts (one of whom is the moderator) present their varied perspectives on a specific topic and then discuss those views both amongst themselves and with the audience.

The 2 page proposal should include:

• the name, department, affiliation, and email address of the contact person
• the name, department, and affiliation of all panelists, together with background information on each that is relevant to their role on the panel.
• a description of the panel session, including both an overview of the topic and the specific viewpoint that each panelist will present.

Also please note which panelist will be the moderator.

In a tutorial one or more experts give instruction on a topic of interest. This instruction could take the form of a lecture, it could involve using computers (note that we will have access to a room with machines), it could require pen and paper exercises, and so on. Tutorials will be scheduled for a 60-90 minute slot.

The 2 page proposal should include:

• the name, department, affiliation, and email address of the contact person and of all other presenters.
• a brief biography of the presenter(s) that addresses their qualifications for leading the workshop or tutorial.
• a description of the tutorial or workshop
• the intended audience
• A/V and computer requirements (both hardware and software).

All tutorial and panel proposals should be sent by email to Leo Porter at leporter@cs.ucsd.edu.
