Respecting the tutorials, I’m in the process of locating descriptions and determining whether there will be calls for papers. I’ll post more information as I receive it. Congratulations to the organizers of the accepted workshop and tutorials. Many thanks to Dr. Governatori for this information, and to Dr. Wyner for directing me to the tutorials description.
