Tutorials
Tutorials will take place on September 14, 2008.
It is planned to arrange nine tutorials. Three tutorials will be given sequentially to each of the following major topics: introductions, applications, and advanced topics. This will offer the chance to visit all tutorials on each major topic. Each tutorial will last for 90 to 120 minutes, the final length is not decided yet.
The registration for any Tutorial with the ConfTool is not binding. Your appearance is still optional.
