IMPORTANT DATES

  End of January 2020: Notification

This is an invitation to submit proposals for courses in all areas of
Computer Science to be included in the program of the "34a Escuela de
Ciencias Informáticas" - ECI 2020, to be held at Departamento de
Computación, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de
Buenos Aires, from July 20 to 24, 2020. The Escuela de Ciencias
Informáticas (ECI) is held annually at our department, since 1987. The goal
of ECI is to offer to Computer Science students and practitioners
intensive, top-level courses on topics not covered by the regular
curricula. These courses are taught by prestigious lecturers from
universities and institutions from all around the world. Each year, between
400 and 800 people participate in ECI, taking one, two or three courses
each.

COURSE FORMAT
ECI courses last 15 hours in total (3 hours per day from Monday to Friday)
and are addressed to advanced undergraduate or graduate students. These
courses should include a final evaluation, which can be a take-home to be
sent by e-⁠mail to the lecturer. Submissions for courses to be taught in
Spanish or English are accepted. The school will cover travel, hotel and
local expenses of ECI 2020 lecturers (ECI will only cover the expenses of
one lecturer per proposed course).

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Proposals should be submitted through
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eci2020

The submission must be done in PDF format, containing only the following
sections:

* Full Name
* Course Title
* Abstract (At most 1300 characters)
* Topic (You must choose among the first level of ACM CCS (
https://dl.acm.org/ccs/ccs.cfm), e.g. "Theory of computation").
* Language: [English/Spanish]
* Brief index (a list of topics that will be covered during the course)
* Schedule (Approximate timeline of how these topics will be presented from
Monday to Friday).
* Suggested bibliography (At least three books or papers that are related

* Student's preferred background (Background the students should have to be
able to follow the course. A general description in the form of course
names or topics will suffice.).
* Will the course have a lab section? [Yes/No] (Optionally, your course can
have a lab section for hands-on practice. In this case, the ECI
organization will assign lab space with computers for the students. Note
that having a lab section will restrict the number of students your course
can have to no more than 50).
* Optional: Local contact. (A local contact in the Department of Computer
Science, FCEyN, UBA is desirable, but not mandatory)
