WISE has established itself as a solid international community aiming at high quality research and offering the ground for advancing and progressing efforts in Web information systems and engineering.  Previous WISE conferences were held in Hong Kong, China (2000), Kyoto, Japan (2001), Singapore (2002), Roma, Italy (2003), Brisbane, Australia (2004), New York, USA (2005), Wuhan, China (2006), Nancy, France (2007), Auckland, New Zealand (2008), Poznan, Poland (2009), Hong Kong, China (2010), Sydney, Australia (2011), Paphos, Cyprus (2012), Nanjing, China (2013), Thessaloniki, Greece (2014), Miami, USA (2015), Shanghai, China (2016), and Puschino, Russia (2017). 

The aim of this 19th edition of the conference series on Web Information Systems Engineering is to provide an international forum for researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners to share their knowledge in the rapidly growing area of Web technologies, methodologies and applications. This edition will promote the theme of Web Engineering in the Era of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), two highly important areas for the world economy, in general, and the knowledge economy, in particular.

Call for Tutorial Proposals
=================
Tutorials at WISE 2018 will provide an interactive space for research and experienced tutors to present the state-of-the-art research, latest development and applications of a specific Web technology. Ideally the topics should provide a direction, stimulate and facilitate future work. 

A tutorial proposal should include:
* a title,
* an abstract (up to 150 words),
* overview of the topic covered, including the reasons that the topic is interesting and important to the Web community at large,
* content details: a bullet list of organization of the tutorial, in the order of presentation with estimated presentation time for each item (no more than one page)
* short bios of the presenters including their expertise related to the tutorial (no more than 100 words per presenter)
* preferred length of the tutorial: short (1.5-3 hours) or long (3-6 hours). If the tutorial can be configured to both a short one and a long one, indicate which part will be exclusively for the long version
* a list of up to 20 most important references to be covered in the tutorial

(Optional) If the presenters have given similar tutorials before and if the materials for them are available on the web, links to them
(Optimal) Any specific audio/video/computer requirements for the tutorial
