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.
