The 2016 International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction (SBP-BRiMS) is a multidisciplinary conference with a selective single paper track and poster session. The SBP-BRiMS conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government agencies to exchange ideas on current challenges in social computing, behavioral modeling and prediction, and on state-of-the-art methods and best practices being adopted to tackle these challenges. Interactive events at the conference are designed to promote cross-disciplinary contact.

As part of the SBP-BRiMS program, we cordially invite proposals for tutorials from active researchers and experienced tutors in academia, industry, and government agencies. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research and ideas, innovative developments, and novel applications in a specific aspect of social computing, behavioral modeling and prediction.

There will be a total of nine (9) three-hour tutorials.

If you are interested in giving a tutorial, please send your proposal in plain text or PDF to the tutorial chair (Yu-Ru Lin) with the following items specified:

1. Title of the tutorial
