Submission

Upon selection, the instructors of accepted tutorial proposals can submit a tutorial paper that will be published in the main conference proceedings. Tutorial paper submissions are not mandatory (i.e., the instructors of accepted tutorial proposals are free to choose whether, or not, to submit a tutorial paper). Tutorial papers must have a structure similar to typical short papers, with the main goal of making a scientific argument and motivating the main idea behind the accepted tutorial. Therefore, tutorial papers must not include any information peculiar to tutorial proposals like, for example, the biography, intended timeframe, expected number of participants, and special requirements. An example of tutorial papers can be found in the PROFES 2022 conference proceedings: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-21388-5_41.

Tutorial proposals should be prepared using the Springer LNCS template (see Springer LNCS author guidelines). The submission web page for all contributions in PROFES 2026 is via EasyChair (select PROFES2026 Tutorials).
