Call for Tutorials SAGE-AU'2006 is hereby calling for papers and tutorial presentations on topics relevant to the profession of System Administration. Suggested topics include:
Tutorials should have a technical or management orientation and should not contain advertising. Submitting a Tutorial Presentation for Consideration Tutorial sessions will be either 3 hours or 6 hours duration. People wishing to present tutorials should submit a 1000 word abstract of the material they wish to present, who their intended audience is, and an indication of whether they require a 3 hour or 6 hour timeslot. Tutorial presenters are required to submit a tutorial draft to allow the committee to provide feedback and assist with the editorial process. Tutorials should be run in lecture format. As SAGE-AU Conferences typically receive a large number proposals for Tutorials, authors of tutorial proposals which are not accepted may be invited to submit a revised proposal for a Technical Paper. Important Dates
Author Guidelines The Programme Committee will issue guidelines to assist authors in planning their presentations.
