CALL FOR PAPERS
(Apologies for multiple copies)
The 14th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2009)
July 6th - 10th 2009, Thistle Hotel, Brighton, UK
http://www.aied2009.com
The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED2009) is part of an ongoing series of biennial international conferences for top quality research in intelligent systems and cognitive science for educational computing applications. The conference provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of techniques from many fields that make up this interdisciplinary research area, including: artificial intelligence, computer science, cognitive and learning sciences, education, educational technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and the many domain-specific areas for which AIED systems have been designed and evaluated.
AIED 09 will focus on the theme "Building Learning Systems that Care: From Knowledge Representation to Affective Modeling". This extends an AIED vision proposed some 20 years ago by John Self. The field has moved a long way since then. It is now widely accepted that effective learning environments are expected to care about both learners and tutors, and to have a good understanding of the variety of learning contexts. The key research question now is how to tackle the complex issues related to building learning systems that care, ranging from representing knowledge and context to modeling social, cognitive, metacognitive, and affective dimensions. This requires linking theory and technology from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and computer science with theory and practice from education and social science.
TOPICS
Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:
1. Modeling and Representation
* Models of learners, facilitators, tasks and
* problem-solving processes
* Models of groups and communities for
* learning
* Modeling of learning contexts
* Modeling of motivation, metacognition, and
* affect aspects of learning
* Ontological modeling
* Dealing with learner dynamics
* Handling uncertainty and multiple Perspectives
* Representing and analyzing discourse during learning
2. Models of Learning Systems that Care
* Intelligent tutoring and scaffolding
* Intelligent games for learning
* Motivational diagnosis and feedback
* Interactive pedagogical agents and learning
* companions
* Agents that promote metacognition,
* motivation, and affect
* Adaptive question-answering
* Multi-agent architectures
3. Intelligent Technologies for Learning Systems that Care
* Natural language processing
* Data mining and machine learning
* Knowledge representation and reasoning
* Semantic web technologies and standards
* Social recommendations
* Social networks
4. Pedagogical Models for Learning Systems that Care
* Inquiry learning
* Social dimensions of learning
* Social-historical-cultural contexts
* Informal learning environments
* Communities of practice
5. Learning Contexts and Domains
* Learning in open web environments
* Collaborative and group learning
* Simulation-based learning
* Ubiquitous learning environments
* Learning grid
* Lifelong and workplace learning
* Domain-specific learning applications, e.g. language, mathematics, science, medicine, military, and industry.
6. Evaluation of learning systems that care
* Human-computer interaction
* Evaluation methodologies
* Experiences and lessons learned
