Call for Papers
The theme of the 13th International Conference on Artificial
Intelligence in Education (AIED 2007) reflects the changing nature of
technology and the importance of evaluation and is:
Building Technology Rich Learning Contexts that Work
The conference will provide opportunities for the cross-fertilization of
information and ideas from researchers in the many fields that make up
this interdisciplinary research area, including: artificial
intelligence, other areas of computer science, cognitive science,
education, learning sciences, educational technology, psychology,
philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics.
TOPICS
The technical program focuses on research linking theory and technology
from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and computer science
with theory and practice from education and social science. Areas of
interest include, but are not limited to:
Socially informed design: Social dimensions of learning.
Social-historical-cultural contexts. Learning and identity. Motivation
and engagement in learning. Informal learning environments.
Collaborative and group learning: Group learning environments. Networked
learning communities. Analysis and modeling of group interactions.
Design principles for collaborative learning environments. Communities
of learners. Communities of practice.
Learning systems platforms and architectures: Web based learning
platforms. Metadata standards for learning objects and materials.
Document management for learning applications. Authoring tools and
assessment tools.
Modeling and representation: Models of learners, facilitators, tasks and
problem-solving processes. Knowledge representation and ontologies.
Discourse representation and analysis.
*
Intelligent tutoring and scaffolding: Adaptive environments (web-based
and others). Pedagogical agents. Cognitive diagnosis. Instructional
planning. Motivational diagnosis and feedback. Data mining and machine
learning.
Interaction design and novel interfaces: Ubiquitous computing/mixed
reality learning environments. Virtual and 3D learning and training
environments. Multi-modal interfaces for learning. Educational
multimedia systems.
The design and modeling of learning contexts and their impact on
learning. The development of systems that encompass multiple learning
contexts, including mobile learning applications.
Methods, tools and techniques for effective evaluation of cognitive,
meta-cognitive and affective issues.
Special application fields: Language learning. Mathematics and science
education. Industrial, medical and other applications
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper, YRT and Poster submission due: 15 December, 2006
Proposals for Workshops, Panels, Tutorials, Interactive Events due: 15

Paper submissions
Paper submissions will be accepted in the following categories:
Full papers (8 pages) - All submissions should describe original and
unpublished work. Research papers should describe results of systems
development and/or empirical or theoretical analysis. A small number of
"survey paper" and "theme papers" will also be accepted. These should
synthesize and examine broad issues in the field. There will be a prize
for "Best Paper" chosen from the full papers.
Young researcher's track (YRT) (6 pages) - To nurture young researchers,
the YRT is for work-in-progress by graduate students and other young
researchers. The paper must be authored only by the young researcher(s).
Accepted YRT submissions will be invited to be published in an
additional volume. Also, an abstract version will be included in the
official proceedings (2 pages, 10 minutes presentation). There will be a
prize for the "Best Young Researcher Paper". This prize should help to
cover the travel expenses for an outstanding young researcher to attend
the conference.
Posters (3 pages) - Authors are encouraged to submit reports on
work-in-progress to the poster sessions, which provide an informal forum
for introducing work in its early stages. Poster sessions are included
in the proceedings as short papers.
Panels (2 pages) - Panels will bring together 4 or 5 experts to discuss
a topical issue. Submissions should include a motivated description of
the panel topic and the qualifications of each panelist.
Workshop proposals (4 pages) - Workshops on "hot" topics in AIED should
include a brief description of the workshop topic, why it is
interesting, short biographies of the workshop organizers, and a list of
prospective members of the workshop program committee. Approved
workshops will have their own proceedings, separately published, and
their own submission/acceptance deadlines through March, April, and May
2005.
Interactive Events (4 pages) - Interactive events will provide a
hands-on experience of innovative instructional software / hardware. The
proposals should include: (1) a general description of the event (e.g.
the scientific contribution, the novelty, how is the event planned,
important features of the software / hardware demonstrated, the plan for
interaction with the audience, discussions with the audience, potential
discussion questions), and (2) a detailed description of the technical
requirements for the software and equipment needed to run the event.
Tutorial proposals (3 pages) - Tutorials on important AIED topics should
contain a brief description of the topic, why it is interesting, the
intended audience, and short biographies of the tutorial presenters.
Publication
All accepted papers will be printed in the AIED 2007 proceedings to be
published by IOS Press, and will be candidates for Best Paper Awards.
Authors of award papers will be invited to submit their paper for
publication in the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in
Education (IJAIED), the official journal of the International AIED
Society.
