Call For Tutorial And Workshop Proposals

For its 2020 edition, KR will solicit proposals for both the Tutorial and Workshop tracks. Tutorials and workshops will be held prior to the KR main technical program, which will run from 12th to 18th of September 2020. The attendance of tutorials is complimentary to all KR registered participants. Workshop attendance will be subject to payment of a workshop fee, which is separate from that of the main conference.

Submission Instructions

Each proposal (tutorial or workshop) should be in English and must be submitted electronically to the email address:

For all accepted proposals, KR will take care of all local arrangements.

Submission Requirements for Tutorial Proposals

Each tutorial proposal should contain the following information:

• A short title of the tutorial.

Each accepted tutorial will entitle a discount on the KR registration fee for one tutorial presenter.
