October 13-16, 2016, Hilton Omaha, USA

CALL FOR TUTORIAL / WORKSHOP AND SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS

Homepage: https://wibih.unomaha.edu/bih

(PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 10, 2016)

*** KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ***

Stephen Smith, Allen Institute for Brain Science
Ivan Soltesz, Stanford School of Medicine

*** FEATURE SPEAKERS ***

Steven Schiff, Pennsylvania State University
Kristen Harris, University of Texas at Austin
Giulio Tononi, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Bob Jacobs, Colorado College
Partha Mitra, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Paola Pergami, West Virginia University

****************

Brain research is rapidly advancing with the application of big data
and computing technology to neuroscience, a focus supported by major
international initiatives in the US, Europe and Asia. BIH'16 reflects
that brain informatics has emerged as a distinct field and crosses
the disciplines of neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science,
signal processing, and neuroimaging technologies as well as data science.
Following the success of past conferences in this series, BIH'16 will
take place at Hilton Omaha, Omaha, Nebraska and will gather researchers
from major international brain research projects, and other related fields.
BIH'16 also has plans for an industrial exhibition.

Since BIH'16 will be co-located with the International Conference on
Web Intelligence (WI'16, https://wibih.unomaha.edu/wi), it draws
special attention to the synergy of informatics for brain science,
brain health and the Web. BIH'16 will address big data approaches to
both the brain and health; strong emphasis will be on emerging trends
of big data analysis and management technology for BI and real-world
applications for brain and mental health.  Complementing these goals,
BIH'16 will showcase computational models of the brain to inspire
future Web Intelligence algorithms and methodologies as well as their
applications on the Web.

As part of BIH'16, we welcome proposals for tutorials, workshops and
high-end special sessions on related topics.

*** Topics of Interest ***

In addition to the topics of interest included on the Call for Papers,
for the workshops/tutorials, we are interested in the topics listed below:

- Big Data techniques for neuroimaging and neural recording applications
- Neurogenetics
- Data management and sharing for neuroscience
- Data analytic techniques in brain diseases and health
- Computational neuroscience
- Brain-inspired intelligence research
- Dendritic Computing
- Neuromorphic/neuroinspired computing
- Mental health, including neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases
- Computing for the brain and with the brain
- Clinical neuroscience and applications

*** Submission Process ***

Tutorial/symposium/special session organizers should submit their
proposals (PDF) directly via email to the Workshop Chairs
(yi.zeng@ia.ac.cn, ramanathana@ornl.gov, and bbrunton@uw.edu).
Tutorial/symposium/special session proposals should include the
following elements:

- Title of the tutorial/symposium/special session
- Names of the tutorial/symposium/special session organizers, affiliation,
    mailing address, e-mail
- A description of the topics of the Tutorial/symposium/special session
    (approx. 250 words)
- Type of the symposium/special session (whether it will accept
full-papers or
    abstracts, see below)
- A description of how the Tutorial/symposium/special session will
    contribute to the field
- A short description on how the Tutorial/symposium/special session
     will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of
authors
     and high quality papers
- A list of reviewers or program committee members for the
symposium/special
     session contributions, and a brief description of how the review
process
     will be conducted.

Workshop/special session organizers can get a free registration if
more than 8 papers are included and registered. Tutorial organizers
can get a free registration if more than 20 participants are
registered.

*** Submission Types ***

Similar to the main conference, there are 2 types of paper submissions
that are possible, namely:

TYPE I: Full Paper Submissions

Papers need to have up to 10 pages in LNCS format.

All full-length papers accepted (and all special sessions' full length
papers)
will be published by Springer as a volume of the series of LNCS/LNAI.

TYPE II: Abstract Submissions

Abstracts have a word limit of 500 words. Experimental research is
particularly welcome.  Accepted abstract submissions will be included
in the conference program and will be published as a single,
collective proceedings volume.

- Title: Include in the title of the abstract all words critical for a
   subject index.  Write your title in sentence case (first letter is
   capitalized; remaining letters are lower case). Do not bold or
   italicize your full title.

- Authors: List all authors who contributed to the work discussed in
   the abstract.  The presenting author must be listed in the first
   author slot of the list. Be prepared to submit contact information
   as well as conflict of interest information for each author listed.

- Abstract: Enter the body of the abstract and attach any applicable
   graphic files or tables here. Do not re-enter the title, author,
   support, or other information that is collected in other steps of
   the submission form.

*** Publication ***

The organizers of approved workshops/symposiums/special sessions are
required to announce the call for papers, assign papers to PC members
for reviewing and decide upon the final program.

Accepted Type 1 papers will be included in the BIH'16 conference
proceedings to be published by Springer as a volume of the LNCS/LNAI
series.

The organizers are also welcome to prepare a book proposal based on
the topics of the workshop/special session for possible book
publication in the Springer Brain Informatics & Health book series.

*** Post-Conference Journal Publication ***

The BIH conferences have formal ties with the Brain Informatics
journal (Springer).  Accepted papers from the conference, including
their Best Paper Award papers, will be expanded and revised for
possible inclusion in the Brain Informatics journal each year. It is
fully sponsored and no article-processing fee is charged for BIH
authors.

High quality papers from workshops/special sessions will be selected
and considered for publication in special issues of international
journals after their papers are extended to a journal-length paper and
pass a review process. Tutorial organizers are invited to submit
survey papers to the BI journal, and they will be published in the
journal after a rigorous review process.
