Tutorials at COSIT feature 3-hour workshops by leading scholars on topics of interest to the field of spatial information theory. The workshops are pedagogical, designed to train as well as inform. As traditionally occurs at COSIT, the tutorials this year take place on the day before the first paper sessions. There are two simultaneous morning tutorials and two in the afternoon. Attendance at tutorials is kept to a small group. An additional fee for attending the tutorials is charged over and above the regular conference registration fee, as described on the registration form.
Further information about the tutorial presenters and their tutorials are available on the links to each name.
