PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The 2016 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2016) is to address, explore and exchange information on the state-of-the-art in collaborative environments, their modeling and simulation, design and use, and their impact. The Conference will be held on October 31 - November 04, 2016 in Orlando, Florida, USA.
As in every year, the Conference will feature state-of-the-art set of tutorial presentations. The CTS 2016 Organizing Committee invites proposals and ideas for tutorials to be held as part of the Conference.

All tutorials will address timely, important, and relevant subject areas within collaboration. Typically, 2-4 hour tutorials are planned but others will be considered. Proposals will be evaluated by members of the Organizing Committee.
If you are interested in presenting a tutorial at this conference or you have an idea for a tutorial you would like to see offered, please contact the Tutorials Co-Chairs.
