Message from the Technical Program Chair

I am once again very happy to be the technical program chair of another edition of WCCA - World Congress of Communication and Arts and I might start thanking all the authors for their collaboration, to the reviewers for their time and efforts, in special to the coordinators and committees members of WCCA'2016, whose endeavors resulted in a successful event and to the participants for their presence and insightful presentations.

It is always great to work along the process of reviewing papers once it shows the great variety of papers innovative and up to date works in the fields of art and communication.

The theme of the congress has evoked very interesting papers dealing with the world of technology where art is visible in many ways and real time communication give us the feeling of capability and at the same time the idea of instant need in life and that we have to start caring about the society immersed in this virtual world of words and images that cross the world. No doubt it is a very democratic midst that gives people opportunities to be and do in virtual world where discussions take place without the censorship of ideals. However it is a challenging life style full of changes and challenges.

Once again our thanks to authors, reviewers, participants and principally to all the coordinators from UMinho - University of Minho and CCG - Computer Graphics Center for the great job in the accomplishment of WCCA'2016.

We are sure that all will enjoy the scientific and pleasant experience!
