The 8th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM BCB) is the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio. ACM-BCB 2017 is the conference's eigth year, building upon the success of the first seven meetings in Niagara Falls, Chicago, Orlando, Washington DC, Newport Beach, Atlanta, and Seattle. ACM-BCB 2017 will be held in Boston, MA, August 20-23, 2017.

ACM-BCB 2017 invites tutorials that address the interests of its varied audience of individuals interested in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (BCB) including graduate students, researchers and educators from academia, and researchers and practitioners from industry and government.

We especially welcome proposals for tutorials that:

- Introduce a specific BCB topic, designed to make the topic (and the conference) more accessible to participants who are new to that topic;
- Provide a hands-on introduction to one or more databases, software tools, or other resources of broad interest to the conference participants;
- Provide a comprehensive review of the current state of the art in a specific BCB topic aimed at researchers and practitioners who are knowledgeable, but not necessarily experts in the topic;
- Present techniques from research fields e.g., algorithms, data mining, machine learning, statistics, parallel computing, that are relevant to BCB research;
- Introduce new research problems, new application areas, or new or emerging technologies of relevance to BCB.

The tutorials will be held on To be announced. We envision tutorials to be 1 to 4 units where each unit is 50 minutes. We encourage tutorials with multiple units to have more than one presenter, preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives.
