The XP/Agile Universe Conference is now accepting proposals for the 2002 tutorial sessions. This conference has expanded its scope since its inception last year, and its focus includes all Agile Methods, including Extreme Programming. Tutorials for any Agile Method are accepted and encouraged.
Tutorials are an independent instruction on a self-contained topic of relevance to conference attendees. Therefore no commercial or sales-oriented presentations will be accepted. We encourage tutorial proposals that provide clear utility to practitioners, especially innovative tutorials, which depart from lecture style delivery, and tutorials on highly advanced topics in lightweight processes.
Tutorials are presented in half-day (3-hour) or full-day sessions (6-hour). Accepted tutorials will run only if there is enough attendance.
If you want to organize a tutorial, submit a proposal via e-mail to the tutorial chair Brian Button (bbutton@objectmentor.com). We will accept PDF (preferred), HTML and MS Word files as proposals. A tutorial proposal must be two pages and should include:
- Tutorial title and summary (used in advance program)
- Duration (full- or half-day), aims and audience
- Content outline
- Presenter resume with contact information
- Examples of supporting material
Each tutorial proposal will be evaluated on its anticipated benefit for prospective participants and its fit within the tutorial program as a whole. Factors to be considered also include: relevance, timeliness, importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half- or full-day tutorial format; effectiveness of teaching methods; and qualifications of the instructor(s).
