split into four 1.5 hour sessions.
If you have an idea for a tutorial subject that is not listed, please
feel free to submit it to us.
TECHNICAL CONFERENCE SESSIONS
The Main Conference Program for 2006 will be made up of two days,
with three streams each day. In addition there will be a stream
focused on local (Indonesian) internet issues.
Each stream will consist of four 1.5 hour sessions, with each having
three or four presentations. This allows 20-30mins per presenter.
Sessions are chaired by persons of appropriate expertise in the
subject matter of the session and will include ample time for
questions from the audience. Successful presentations from past
APRICOTs have covered topics relevant to current operational
deployments or new technologies not yet in wide deployment.
Proposals for conference presentations are invited for topics fitting
into the six streams outlined above. If you would like to give a
presentation at one or more of the sessions, follow the instructions
at the end of this message for signing up as a speaker or instructor.
CFP SUBMISSION
- --------------
When considering a presentation or tutorial, remember that the
APRICOT audience is mainly comprised of technical network operators
and engineers with a wide range of experience levels from beginners
to multi-year experience. There is a strong orientation to offer core
skills and basic knowledge in the tutorials and to address issues
relevant to the day-to-day operations of ISPs and network operators
over the next 12 - 18 months in the conference sessions.
The deadline for submissions is 30 October, 2006.
Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be
provided with CfP submissions. Final slides are to be provided by 15
January, 2007.
While the majority of speaking slots will be submitted by 30 October
2006, a limited number of slots may be available for presentations
that are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational
importance.
IMPORTANT NOTE
- --------------
APRICOT is a TECHNICAL conference so marketing and commercial content
is not allowed within the program. The program committee is charged
with maintaining the technical standard of APRICOT, and will
therefore not accept inappropriate materials. It is expected that the
presenter be a technical person and not a sales or marketing person.
The audience is extremely technical and expects that the speakers are
themselves very knowledgeable. All sessions provide time for
questions, so presenters should expect technical questions and be
prepared to deliver insightful and technically deep responses.
FUNDING AND SUPPORT
- -------------------
APRICOT is a not-for-profit event that tries to keep the cost to
attendees low so we are unable to pay the travel costs of speakers.
Speakers from developing countries may be eligible for the APRICOT
Fellowship Program which provides basic assistance to successful
fellows to cover local living and registration expenses associated
with attending the conference.
Of course, Tutorial instructors will not have to pay any registration
fee to attend the conference or tutorials, and Conference Speakers do
not have to pay for registration to the Technical Conference.
SIGNING UP AS A SPEAKER, INSTRUCTOR OR BOF Convener
