    The Program Committee of the 2016 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
    Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'16) invites proposals for tutorials
    in all areas related to Web Intelligence, its foundations and
    applications. Web Intelligence 2016 will be collocated with another
    top-quality international conference: Brain Informatics & Heath 2016
    (BIH'16), in order to bring together researchers and practitioners
    from diverse fields with the purpose of exploring the fundamental
    roles, interactions and practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence
    and Advanced Information Technology, in particular, connecting network
    and brain with big data. The tutorials will be held at Hilton Omaha on
    October 13th, 2016.

    The main objectives of the WI-2016 tutorial sessions is to stimulate
    and facilitate active exchange, interaction and comparison of
    approaches, methods and ideas related to diverse areas of Web
    Intelligence. Each tutorial subject will focus on new and emerging
    research challenges related to the themes of the conference. The
    tutorial should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers
    and industry practitioners to share their research results and
    practical development experiences in the field. The aim of the
    tutorial should be to provide the participants with an opportunity to
    discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters active
    exchange of ideas. Tutorial can typically focus on topics aligned to
    or specified in general call for contributions but may not be
    restricted to those. All areas focusing on theoretical and applied
    aspects of Web Intelligence are welcome.
