Tutorial proposals must clearly identify the intended audience and its assumed background. Tutorials whose audience is broader than the database research community are encouraged. Proposals must be no more than 5 pages and must provide a sense of both the scope of the tutorial and depth within the scope. The intended length of the tutorial (1.5 or 3 hours) should also be indicated, together with justification that a high-quality presentation will be achieved within the chosen time period and the indication of the main learning outcomes. Proposals should also include contact information (name, email, address, telephone number, and FAX number) and a brief bio of the presenters. If the proposed tutorial has been given previously, the proposal should include where the tutorial has been given and how it will be modified for VLDB 2010.

Proposals must be submitted electronically by April 2, 2010 (5:00pm GMT, 10:00am PDT) via email to Guozhu Dong (guozhu.dong@wright.edu) and Hwee Hwa Pang (hhpang@smu.edu.sg). Tutorial presentations will be published and made available to VLDB participants.

Two pages camera-ready abstracts are due 11 July 2010.
