10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION
ADVANCED MODELS OF LEARNING FOR THE WIRED AND WIRELESS FUTURE
May 19-23, 2001
San Antonio, Texas
Co-sponsored by:

St. Mary's University, San Antonio, Texas
-------------
The 10th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in
Education (AI-ED 2001) is part of an ongoing series of biennial
international conferences designed to report top quality research in
cognitive science and intelligent systems for educational computing
applications. It provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization
of information and ideas from researchers in the many fields that make
up this interdisciplinary research area, including: computer science,
psychology, linguistics, sociology, and philosophy.
The theme for 2001 is: "Advanced Models of Learning for the Wired and
Wireless Future". Papers that enhance our understanding of the
learning process, providing insight into the design of intelligent
educational technologies that harness advanced telecommunications,
mobile computing, distributed systems or agent technology will be
particularly welcome.
You are invited to submit proposals for research papers, theme papers,
posters, demonstrations, tutorials, workshops, and panels. All
proposals will be peer reviewed in the usual fashion to select those
for inclusion in the technical program.
---------

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
-------------------------------
All submissions should describe original and unpublished
work. Research papers should describe results of system development
and/or empirical or theoretical analysis. A small number of Survey
papers and Theme papers will be accepted that synthesize and examine
broad issues in the field. All accepted papers will be included in
the AI-ED 2001 published proceedings 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)
(http://www.cbl.leeds.ac.uk/ijaied/home), the official journal of the
International AI-ED Society.
Submission format: Submissions should be no longer than 8 pages,
including all tables, figures, and references but excluding the cover
page. Fonts should be at no smaller than 10 point (12 point pica for
typewriters). Margins should be at least 1 inch all around.
The cover page should include:
- the title of the paper with an abstract of no more than 500 words;
- keywords giving a clear indication of topic and subtopic;
- author names with affiliations, addresses, and phone numbers;
- the E-mail address of the principal author.
Financial support: For people from countries with little or no financial
support for travel, and for Ph.D. students, some amount of financial
support will be available. Contact the Organization Chair for details.
-----------
POSTERS
-----------
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 enable researchers to discuss their
latest results in order to gain feedback and to establish contact with
similar projects. Poster sessions do not involve a formal presentation
but papers are included in the proceedings as short papers.
Submissions: Poster proposals should include an approximately 3-page
written description of the planned poster and should emphasize the
problem; what was done; and why the work is important. The cover page
should include the title of the poster with presenter names,
affiliations, complete addresses, phone numbers, and E-mail address of
the principal presenter. Five copies of the manuscript are also
required.
---------------------------
TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS
---------------------------
The AI-ED Program Committee invites proposals for Tutorials and
Workshops to enhance the skills and broaden the perspective of the
attendees and forge new collaborative relationship among them.
Tutorials/Workshops are a half day or a full day in length. Attendees
will be required to register to the main AI-ED conference.
Tutorials should be designed to introduce a new framework for supporting
human learning or to enable participants to use advanced information
technologies for education such as AI, collaborative technologies,
multimedia, hypermedia, networks, virtual reality or multi-lingual
language processing. Tutorials should take a broad perspective on the
topic, and should not be a sales pitch for a single body of work.
Proposals should explicitly identify what participants will be able to
do or know as a result of the tutorial, and describe any supporting
materials to be provided to participants.
Workshops should provide participants the opportunity to meet and
discuss selected technical topics in an informal atmosphere which
encourages the active exchange of ideas and experiences among
researchers and practitioners. Preference will be given to proposals for
activities that can only be undertaken in a workshop format: workshops
consisting solely of paper presentations are discouraged. For example,
workshops might focus on in-depth analyses of sample data or exemplary
designs, present alternate views on a particular issue that is of
concern to AI&ED researchers and practitioners and attempt to resolve
the issue, or identify priorities for new directions of research and
initiate the appropriate collaborations. Ample time must also be
allotted for general discussion. Proposals that include activities
beyond the workshop itself are encouraged.
Proposals should contain:
(1) A cover page including
(a) Session title
(b) Name, affiliation, address, e-mail address for each member
of the organizing committee
(c) Identification of the primary contact person
(d) The proposed length; a half day or a full day
(2) A one page description of the objectives to be addressed.
(3) The intended audience (experience level and prerequisites;
include list of names of potential attendees if you have a
particular community in mind) and a description of review
and selection process for participation.
(4) Format of the session, and how this format will address
the objectives. This may include preliminary and/or
follow-up activities planned, materials to be provided to
participants, etc. as applicable.
(5) A call for participation, written as it would be publicly
distributed
(6) A description of the proposer/instructors' qualifications
related to the topics
Proposers are encouraged to contact the tutorial and workshop chair in
advance to discuss their ideas (email preferred).

YOUNG RESEARCHERS TRACK
---------------------------
In conjunction with AIED 2001 a special "Short Papers" track is being
organized for "Young Researchers" (Ph.D. students who have not received
their Ph.D. by the date of the conference).
Our goals are to attract as many young researchers as possible to be
active participants in the conference, and to link young researchers
with their senior colleagues. In particular we want to encourage
presentations of work-in-progress. For those who are interested we will
provide an e-mail link to a senior researcher in order to assist in the
preparation of the short paper/presentation.
Those interested in participating in this program should prepare a short
abstract (less than two pages). These abstracts will be refereed and
published in the conference proceedings.
Separate sessions will be scheduled for these presentations. Each
presenter will be allowed 15 minutes; 10 minutes for the presentation
and 5 minutes for discussion. All presentations must be in English.
A reduced registration fee is offered to participants in these sessions
upon request and with appropriate credentials.
Deadlines:
Short paper submission: 4 December 2000
Notification by: 26 January 2001
Final paper due: 1 March, 2001
