What is it about?

The Latin American School of Informatics (ELI) is an evolution of the tutorials offered at all CLEIs. These tutorials will begin to be formalized in 2022, and the third edition, to be held in parallel with CLEI 2025, aims to offer a choice of courses of interest to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Course proposals will be similar to those for conference papers; that is, they will be evaluated by an academic committee that will select a set of courses. The topics planned for the ELI cover all areas of computer science and engineering.

Call for course proposals

ELI 2025 invites course submissions in any area of ​​computer science and engineering and its related technologies and theoretical foundations. These courses address current topics based on research results, the state of the art of a given topic, or provide an introduction to a topic of industrial or academic interest. These topics are included in the CLEI tracks: Software Systems, Intelligent Systems, Systems in Practice, Computing Technologies, and Computing Education.

Two types of course proposals will be accepted for the CLEI conference week:

• Courses with 15 hours of in-person instruction by the instructor and a minimum of 25 total hours of course time. In addition to the in-person hours, additional hours of final work will be required for the student to complete after the end of the course as part of the evaluation. This work will be coordinated during the course with the students, chairs, and the local organization.

• Courses with between 10 and 15 hours of in-person instruction by the instructor, with no extra hours, will only issue ELI-CLEI attendance certificates.

Partial support will be offered to attend ELI for the in-person delivery of the course during CLEI 2025. This will be coordinated with the applicants once the selected courses are notified.

REVIEW OF PROPOSALS
Course proposals will be evaluated by an academic committee, which will select a set of courses based on compliance with the requirements defined in this call, including the CV of the proposer(s). Course topics will ideally be from three distinct areas of the Computer Science discipline, varying from the previous edition of the School and aligned with the interests of the local organization.
