PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The 2013 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2013) is to address, explore and exchange information on the state-of-the-art in collaborative environments, their modeling and simulation, design and use, and their impact. The Conference will be held on May 20-24, 2013 in San Diego, California, USA.
As in every year, the Conference will feature state-of-the-art set of tutorial presentations. The CTS 2013 Organizing Committee invites proposals and ideas for tutorials to be held as part of the Conference.

Proposals will be evaluated by members of the Organizing Committee.
If you are interested in presenting a tutorial at this conference or you have an idea for a tutorial you would like to see offered, please contact the Tutorials Co-Chairs.
