We invite proposals for interesting and innovative sessions that will ensure that XP2010 conference offers value for everyone's level of participation.
Workshops and Tutorials provide in-depth exploration of a particular topic. We look for sessions on topics such as:
Workshops are in-depth interactive, experiential presentations by 1-2 workshop leaders with either: a) structured experiential training on the topic, or b) in-depth discussion and problem-solving among the workshop participants.
Workshops provide a valuable learning experience for both the organizer and the participants. They encourage interaction between presenters and participants and among participants. Workshops focus on discussion and practice, rather than lecture-format presentation. Workshops may be oriented toward academics or practitioners, programmers or managers, experienced agile practitioners or beginners.
Workshop organizers/presenters may choose to control the process of participant enrollment, including setting limits on the number of participants and/or setting criteria for participation in the workshop, e.g. submitting a position paper in advance.
Workshops are either 90- or 180 minutes in duration.
This call for participation is for workshop organizers only: a later call for workshop attendees will be managed by the organizers of each accepted workshop.
Tutorials are more broadly defined, usually have only a single speaker, include more expert lecture formats, and reflect a deep knowledge of a particular topic area across several instances of use (unlike an experience report which may describe deep experience in one instance). Tutorials provide clear utility to practitioners and may introduce a new broad knowledge area or focus on new explication that takes narrow topics deeper or into new territory.
Tutorials tend toward one-way communication from speaker to participant, unlike the interactive, participatory, mutual exploration nature of workshops. Tutorials may be oriented toward academics or practitioners, programmers or managers, experienced agile practitioners or beginners.
Tutorials are open to all participants and may have large audiences.
Tutorials are 90 minutes in duration.
The primary organizer of an accepted half-day workshop will be granted one free registration for XP2010. The primary organizer of an accepted 90-minute workshop, or tutorial will receive a 50% discount on registration.
