The primary goal of a tutorial is to deliver accelerated education in a specific topic. A tutorial is delivered by an expert in the field who not only knows the theory but can also provide cookbook methods, techniques, tools, examples, demos so the attendee can apply the newly acquired knowledge in his/her workplace. An attendee is generally not an expert in the topic but is curious to know if it is of relevance and if it is, how it can be applied to his/her work. For ISSRE 2010 we want to develop tutorials that are in keeping with the needs of the local software engineering community. To this end, the Industrial Committee will try to establish a set of interests by connecting with several industries and universities. As we develop a list of interested topics we will post them on this website, and solicit tutorial proposals. The time line for this is being worked on. One should expect that by May or June of this year, we should have a good idea from a needs perspective. In the meanwhile, do not hessitate to connect with the Industry chair with your ideas for Tutorials. We will formally open a submission process around May 2010. Some examples of tutorials:

• Developing world class software with "Design for Six Sigma"(DFSS) tools
• Orthogonal Defect Classification (ODC)
• Architecture-Based Assessment of Software Reliability
• More Reliable Software Faster and Cheaper
• Software Productivity and Reliability: Tools and Techniques
